This episode was a long time coming. I realized I still owe you my own Reinvention story to share (or at least the first part of it today). What shaped my life the way it is today, and what influenced me during my life under communism?

Nobody told me that failures are part of growth, then. If I failed, I wasn't praised for "trying", I was made aware that I screwed up big time so I better never try again. That was my upbringing. It still occasionally stops me in my tracks. But I walked a long, long way since that time, and far away from the small village in the Czech Republic.

We all have those moments that change our direction. Some have a few, some plenty. Some intentional, some unpredictable. How powerful they are when looking back, realizing YOU DID overcome it, something amazing came out of it and your life is better for it.

We all come to situations when we need to remind ourselves of those strong moments. Especially when facing something hard, when we feel like the end of the world when we can't make a decision or move on ... it pays to stop, sit back and remind yourself that YES - there were super hard moments in your life before. And not only you survived it, you turned it around, and found the strength to take charge. It will remind you of your power.

That's the whole reason I do this podcast - sharing stories that turned someone's life upside down - and what seemed like an impossible obstacle turned into a great new opportunity.

Today I'm sharing some key moments from my life. Some that I'm proud of and some that I'm not so proud of. No filter. I believe it serves us all to remember who we once were, and what we accomplished. That should be the only reason for looking back.

Tune in tonight, and let me know what you think. If you feel inspired, please share this episode with someone who may need to hear it! Today's show is audio only.
