    Not So Deep Thoughts: I Should Have Been a Detective

    We all have one. That secret career that lives rent-free in your head. The one where you think โ€” God, I would have been SO good at that. ๐Ÿ‘‡For Christina Rumbley? She wanted to be Jodie Foster.Not the actress. The character. Clarice Starling. Forensic psychologist. Criminal profiler. The one who sits across from killers and figures out exactly what makes them tick.There was just one tiny problem.The smells. The blood. The barf. The... everything. ๐Ÿคข Christina has a gag reflex so legendary that when her daughter was a baby and something exploded in the diaper โ€” she had to leave the room, vomit, compose herself, and come back. Her husband was catching barf with his bare hands while Christina ran in the opposite direction at full speed.Safe to say forensic psychology was never going to work out.But that hasn't stopped her from Googling the cost of a master's degree in criminology at 52. You know. Just to see.In this episode of Not So Deep Thoughts, Christina gets into: *The secret detective that lives inside her and refuses to be quiet *Why her dad being a Vietnam vet, former Chief of Police and her brother being a retired, Green Beret Major probably has something to do with all of this *The three separate times she pulled over on the highway to "save" people who did not need saving *Performing chest compressions on a perfectly breathing woman in an LA parking lot *Why she'd write a thriller novel if she could โ€” and why writing like she speaks might be a problem What YOUR secret career says about who you really are? Why it's never too late to explore the version of yourself you never gave a chance! This one is funny, real, and will have you thinking about the dream you quietly shelved โ€” and whether it's time to dust it off. ๐ŸŽ™๏ธ๐Ÿ“ฉ Email Christina: ReinventingRumbley@gmail.com ๐Ÿ”” Subscribe โ€” new episodes every Wednesday โญ Leave a 5-star review โ€” it genuinely helps more than you know ๐Ÿ‘‡ Drop a comment: What's YOUR secret career?

    Kalle Simpson: Discover Night Brand Owner - Part 2

    In Part 2 of this incredible two-part conversation, Christina sits back down with Kalle Simpson, founder of Discover Night, and they go places most entrepreneur interviews never do. From the psychology of self-funded founders to the moment Kalle realized her company was becoming as unhealthy as she was โ€” this is the conversation every woman in business needs to hear.Kalle gets brutally honest about: Why she walked away from VC money even when it was on the table โ€” and why profitability always made more sense to her than burning cash for top-line growth. The moment she realized she was selling self-care products while completely neglecting her own self-care. Why "you can't have a healthy company from an unhealthy person" โ€” and how she watched it play out in real time. How her company went from a cult-following silk pillow to a 35-product nighttime beauty empire in Costco, Sam's Club, and now โ€” military contracts. Why she stopped asking permission to go to the gym and started treating her own health as a business strategy. The hard truth about paying for outside business advice โ€” and why trusting your gut might be worth more than any consultant. What going digital-first has unlocked for Discover Night after years of brick-and-mortar retail Her advice to any entrepreneur stepping into the arena scared and excited โ€” and why she wouldn't change a single hard lesson. Plus โ€” the story of the customer whose house was on fire and grabbed her Discover Night pillow before anything else. ๐Ÿ˜‚ ๐Ÿ”ฅAnd Christina gets personal too โ€” about gaining 45 pounds while owning spas, her daughter thinking the spa was mommy's home at two years old, and what it really costs you when you put yourself last for 20 years.This one is raw, real, funny, and deeply human. Two female founders who've been in the fire โ€” talking about what it actually takes to come out the other side. ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿ“ฉ Email Christina: ReinventingRumbley@gmail.com ๐Ÿ”” Subscribe โ€” new episodes every Wednesday โญ Leave a 5-star review โ€” it genuinely helps more than you know ๐Ÿ‘‡ Drop a comment: What's YOUR reinvention story?

    Kalle Simpson: Discover Night Brand Owner - Part 1

    This week Christina sits down with entrepreneur, founder, and fellow reinventionist, Kalle Simpson โ€” the powerhouse behind Discover Night, a 10-year self-funded beauty and wellness brand that went from a single silk pillow to a full 360 nighttime beauty company with 35 product lines. And her story? It's one of the most raw, real, and relatable founder conversations we've ever had on this show. Kalle built something extraordinary. Seven years of hockey stick growth. Self-funded. No VC money. No safety net. Just pure grit, vision, and an insane level of dedication. And then 2022 hit. A stolen truck. Millions in uninsured inventory. The loss of her biggest customer โ€” which represented 75% of her business. All at once. "I went from that huge peak to doing everything I possibly could." In Part 1 of this two-part conversation, Christina and Kalle dig deep into: How Discover Night went from one silk pillow to a 35-product beauty empire โ€” all self-funded What it really takes to build a product company from scratch when nobody's backing you The difference between VC-funded startups and self-funded founders when the bottom falls out Why business partnership requires alignment in lifestyle, sacrifice, and season of life โ€” not just vision The identity crisis that hits when a founder who has never NOT grown revenue suddenly faces contraction. How Kalle faked five different customer service email personas to look like a bigger company Why she spent a fortune on outside business advice โ€” and what she learned the hard way The muscle she never knew she had until she was forced to build it Why the hardest years may have actually saved her company Plus โ€” Christina gets real about her own parallel experiences running and selling her companies, the emotional toll business stress takes on your body, and why sometimes blind faith is the only thing keeping you going at 3am. This one is for every founder, entrepreneur, and woman in business who has ever felt like the floor just dropped out โ€” and had to figure out how to keep going anyway. ๐Ÿ’ช ๐Ÿ“ฉ Email Christina: ReinventingRumbley@gmail.com ๐Ÿ”” Subscribe โ€” new episodes every Wednesday โญ Leave us a 5-star review โ€” it helps more than you know ๐Ÿ‘‡ Drop a comment: Have you ever faced a moment that nearly took down everything you built?

    Not So Deep Thoughts: Adult Friendship Anxiety

    Can we talk about something nobody warned us about? Making friends after 50 is giving full-on first date energy โ€” and Christina Rumbley hasn't dated in 28 years.In this episode of Not So Deep Thoughts, Christina gets hilariously honest about the very real anxiety that comes with trying to make new friends at this stage of life. The outfit changes. The perfume debate. The pit sweats. The boob sweats. The full mental dissertation about whether you're splitting the bill or sharing dishes before you even walk out the door.Sound familiar? Yeah. You're not alone.Christina breaks down: Why friendship after 50 feels exactly like navigating a dating app โ€” without ever having used one The very real difference between how men and women approach new friendships (spoiler: men just... show up with their bowling ball) Why women over 50 judge themselves so harshly before meeting someone new The unwritten rules nobody gave us โ€” and why we desperately need an SOP for adult friendship What happens when the conversation lulls and you're sitting there wondering if you've already said too much. Why overthinking might actually be the thing standing between us and the friendships we're craving Plus โ€” Tank makes a cameo because of course he does. ๐Ÿพ๐Ÿ˜‚This one is short, real, and hits exactly where it hurts โ€” in the best possible way. ๐Ÿ“ฉ Email Christina: ReinventingRumbley@gmail.com ๐Ÿ””๐ƒ๐จ๐ง'๐ญ ๐Ÿ๐จ๐ซ๐ ๐ž๐ญ ๐ญ๐จ ๐ฌ๐ฎ๐›๐ฌ๐œ๐ซ๐ข๐›๐ž ๐ญ๐จ ๐ฆ๐ฒ ๐œ๐ก๐š๐ง๐ง๐ž๐ฅ ๐Ÿ๐จ๐ซ ๐ฆ๐จ๐ซ๐ž ๐ฎ๐ฉ๐๐š๐ญ๐ž๐ฌ. https://www.youtube.com/@ReinventingRumbley?sub_confirmation=1 ๐Ÿ”— Stay Connected With Me.
