Here's a little secret: asking for help isn't a sign of weakness, but a catalyst that propels us towards our goals and dreams.

The truth is, asking for help isn't always easy, it's something I have grappled with at times.

But let me share with you how this simple act of asking for help transformed a live event at the recent International Festival of Arts and Ideas into a Reinvention Rebels podcast episode that can inspire your reinvention journey.

It all started with a technical challenge for which I had no answer, but with the guidance of my amazing team, we made it happen.

The result? A dynamic conversation with two  inspiring and remarkable women, Ellen Pankey and Lisa Franco.

The opportunity to speak at the Festival was amazing and I'm so happy we could re-broadcast this conversation for our Reinvention Rebels audience as an episode. If you didn't have a chance to listen last week, you're in for a treat.

In this short episode, I’m spilling the beans on the power of asking for help and how it made all the difference for me.

You’ll learn:

✅ Why we should ask for help more readily (people WANT to help us!)
✅ How I was specifically able to overcome my challenges by asking for help
✅ How asking for help propels us forward as we reinvent ourselves

I know so many capable women are used to doing everything themselves. I’ve so been there.

But there’s so much grace in letting our guard down, being open and partnering with others to help us on our journey.

Whether you're just starting out or have been on this journey for a while, I hope this episode will inspire you to get a little help from your friends as you take action towards your dreams.

Welcome to the first Reinvention Rebels live episode! An episode filled with inspiring reinventions and empowering journeys - a conversation that redefines the concept of personal growth. 

This episode was recorded at the International Festival of Arts and Ideas in New Haven, Connecticut on June 20, 2023.

I'm thrilled to share the microphone with two incredible guests - Ellen Pankey and Lisa Franco. They take us down their unique paths of transformation, shedding light on the trials and triumphs that come with reinventing oneself.

74-year young Ellen awoke from a coma eight years ago and had to reinvent herself out of necessity. She had to relearn everything from walking to talking to eating. How she’s reimagined her life is remarkable including starting a YouTube channel in her 70s, going live twice a week to share her art and wisdom.
66-year young Lisa serendipitously discovered a bundle of World War II love letters in an antique shop that sparked her reinvention as an author, capturing a beautiful love story. Her reinvention journey has evolved including becoming chief promoter and marketer and growing beyond her discomfort with public speaking to share her compelling story.


Both are full of so much wisdom and inspiration!


In this powerful and engaging live episode, you’ll learn:


✳️ why stepping out of our comfort zone is so important to reinventing ourselves
✳️ how we can reinvent ourselves by taking action, trusting our intuition, and getting support from others
✳️ why reinvention is not just about changing what you do but also discovering who you are as Lisa and Ellen have done.

Listen closely as we discuss Lisa and Ellen's diverse reinvention paths and how we can find relatable elements in each others' stories. This episode will delight and inspire you into action!
