Redefined explores what happens when life's biggest challenges lead us on a transformative search for what matters most. After recently facing a near-death experience, renowned humanitarian and author Zainab Salbi has been on a quest to understand the connection between who we have been and who we must become. As Zainab continues her own vulnerable search, evaluating and re-evaluating matters of her own identity, she's reaching out to open-minded guests in this series of courageous, big-hearted conversations to ask questions about how we draw our inner maps, and how to approach and perpetuate meaningful, intentional change. Redefined aims to uncover the hidden gifts that emerge from adversity, to discover the power of reinvention, and to learn from one another--establishing a sense of community so even our most intimate transformations never have to be experienced alone.

Customer Reviews
Two brilliant minds
Refreshing to hear two notables talk authentically about their experiences and journey. Deep insights with a touch of humor. Both have lovely souls. I hope to learn more about Saduguru and Zainab’s story. Great piece!
Finding Our Truth, Finding Our Meaning
Zainab hosts warm and meaningful conversations with people who are known for their individual expression about how they came—and are coming—to be at home with themselves. Each guest approaches it from a different perspective, but they each seem to conclude that discovering and living our truth, as difficult as it can be, is the most effective way to find meaning in this brief life. Seeing this conclusion reflected across so many experiences is refreshing and inspiring for those on the journey of self-discovery themselves.
Beautiful, intimate and heartwarming!
These conversations are such a gift. Thank you for sharing your words of wisdom with the world!
