    What happens when the life you built no longer fits who you’re becoming?

Paula shares what it was like to walk away from a high-profile, prestigious role that defined her publicly... and what happened internally after the applause stopped.

    70. Reinvention Isn’t Starting Over. It’s Coming Home to Yourself | Adrianna Martin

    What happens when you build the life you always dreamed of… and still feel empty inside? In this episode of Wisdom Stripes, Meg Tuohey sits down with wellness leader, entrepreneur, and host of the Thank You, Next podcast, Adriana Martin, for a powerful conversation about perfectionism, toxic positivity, midlife awakening, and the bravery required to tell yourself the truth.

Together, Meg and Adriana explore: The difference between success and fulfillment Why “everything is fine” can become a survival strategy How intuition guides us long before logic catches up The courage it takes to leave a life that looks perfect Leading longevity by honoring your body as a partner, not a project Why saying “next” can be an act of empowerment, not escape This episode is about choosing alignment over appearance and remembering that reinvention is not failure — it is evolution. 📕 PREORDER MEG'S BOOK!

    67. From Skateboarder to Community Leader: Reinventing Identity, Purpose, and Wealth | Mikey Taylor

    What happens when success ends—and identity goes with it? In this episode, Meg Tuohey sits down with former professional skateboarder turned entrepreneur, investor, and Vice Mayor Pro Tem Mikey Taylor for a powerful conversation about reinvention, faith, leadership, and rebuilding when the life you knew disappears.
