    Reinvention Is Happening While I'm In It...Courage for Rebuilding

    You keep waiting for the day your life finally changes. But what if the change is already happening? What if every difficult decision, every lonely step, every day you choose to keep showing up is the reinvention you've been praying for? What if the reason you feel stuck isn't because you're lost—but because you're in the middle of reinvention? And what does reinvention even mean? In Day 17 of Project Homeward Bound, Messie Missy shares an unplanned, deeply personal reflection on rebuilding a life after loss. After spending years in survival mode, navigating heartbreak, uncertainty, financial devastation, and the loneliness that often comes with starting over, she's beginning to recognize something powerful: Reinvention doesn't happen after the mess. It happens inside the mess. In this raw episode, Melissa explores what reinvention really means—not the glamorous social media version, but the daily decisions, small acts of courage, and consistent actions that slowly create a new identity, new income, and new independence.

    I Lost Everything After the Car Crash… Then Rebuilt with a Patch Make a clear, concise name for your title

    In this episode of the Messie Missy Podcast, Irene Vaksberg joins the I Lost Everything series to share the unbelievable story of how a devastating car accident destroyed the life she had spent years building. After creating a successful six-figure hair business and overcoming years of personal struggles, Irene thought she had finally reached a season of freedom and peace. Then, overnight, everything changed. Chronic pain, financial collapse, emotional exhaustion, failed marriages, miscarriages, motherhood struggles, and survival mode forced her into the deepest rebuild of her life. We talk about what it really feels like when your identity falls apart, how trauma changes you, why “hot mess” seasons can shape who you become, and the mindset required to keep rebuilding anyway. This episode is funny, painful, powerful, and full of the kind of truth women desperately need to hear when they feel like life knocked them flat.   Please consider donating to the fundraiser for dental work, for a person who has lost everything and we can help replace some teeth: Go Fund Me: GoFundMe — Messy Missy Movement: https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-our-friend-smile-again-through-cancer-and-dental-work/cl/o?utm_campaign=man_sharesheet_dash&utm_content=amp17_control-amp20_t1&utm_medium=customer&utm_source=copy_link&lang=en_US Contact Irene: ivaksberg2@gmail.com https://www.instagram.com/gothealth_vaksberg?igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ%3D%3D&utm_source=qr Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/irene.vaksberg?mibextid=LQQJ4d Tik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@irenevaksberg?_t=8ZY1BCwlE8Q&_r=1 LinkedIn: http://linkedin.com/in/irenevaksberg YouTube: https://youtube.com/@irenevaksberg-painManagement   Work with Messie 1:1: Apply Here Apply to work with me on a 1:1 session Download the FREE Messy to Momentum Framework: Download Framework Here Connect with Missy: Facebook: Facebook Link Here Substack: Follow Me on Substack Instagram: Follow Me on Instagram Youtube: Youtube   Email Me: Melissa@messiemissy.com Building beautiful businesses and beautiful lives through our messes.

    Rebuilding Your Life in Your 40s: What Now? Consistency Problem

    What Now? Rebuilding Your Life in Your 40s The Consistency Problem Nobody Talks About What happens when you reach your 40s and realize the life you built doesn't quite fit anymore? Your kids are growing up. Maybe you're divorced. Maybe you've lost a career, a job, your financial security, or the identity you once had. Maybe you're sitting there asking the question I've been asking myself lately: What now? In this episode of the Messie Missy Podcast, I'm getting honest about where I've been, where I've struggled, and one thing I've realized I need to fix: consistency. I've been incredibly successful in my career and business, but when I honestly looked at my own consistency, I realized there are plenty of areas where I'm not showing up the way I want to. So I'm asking myself—and you: Where are you not showing up consistently in your life? We talk about: Rebuilding your identity in your 40sWhat happens when your kids start leaving homeWhy career success doesn't always equal fulfillmentDiscovering that you're an entrepreneur after years in corporateWhy consistency may matter more than motivationSMART goals and turning big goals into small actionsHabit stacking and building routines that actually fit your lifeThe role of accountability in following throughWhy networking is becoming part of my own business growth strategyTurning your life experiences—including the really painful ones—into solutions that can help other peopleBuilding a business with systems and infrastructure instead of simply selling somethingI've spent years building businesses, leading teams, and creating systems. Now I'm taking those skills and applying them to rebuilding my own life and business. And maybe that's the real lesson: You don't have to have the whole next chapter figured out. You just have to start showing up for it consistently. So here's the question I want you to sit with: Where do you need to become more consistent? Your business?Your health?Your relationships?Your faith?Your finances?Your next chapter? Pick one. Start there. And if you're rebuilding your life or business through your own mess, you're welcome here. We're building beautiful businesses and beautiful lives through our messes. If you're ready to stop spinning and start building, I offer Messy to Momentum, a 90-minute 1:1 strategy session where we work through where you are, where you want to go, and what needs to happen next.
