Reinvention Without Reinventing the Wheel
Reinvention Without Reinventing the Wheel
Over the years, I’ve picked up new skills, side hustles, and passions—because, well, we’re all evolving. But instead of just letting change happen, I’ve decided to do it intentionally. As I learn, grow, and study myself, I discover more about my purpose and how I want to express it.
But here’s the thing: reinvention isn’t about wiping out the old you or completely starting from scratch. You’re not erasing who you were—you’re upgrading. Think of it like a phone update: fixing bugs, adding new features, and letting your apps (aka your life) run at their best.
How to Approach Reinvention
I’ve learned from incredible coaches like Jenna Kutcher and Glo Atanmo that reinvention is really about sorting out what stays and what goes—like that classic “jar of rocks and sand” analogy.
Try this:
Write down what you want to let go of (limiting beliefs, bad habits, that sweater you’ve had since college).
List what you want to keep (the good stuff, the strengths, the things that light you up).
Decide what you need to add (new habits, skills, or routines that align with who you want to become).
Here’s the twist—I’m not sharing this from a place of mastery. I’m right in the middle of my own reinvention too. Personal growth isn’t a solo journey. Yes, it’s called personal development, but the reality is: who we become impacts the world around us. That’s why having support (coaches, mentors, a solid community) makes all the difference.
Making Reinvention Real (Not Just Theoretical)
If there’s something you want to add to your life—whether it’s drinking more water, sleeping better, or seeing your best friend more—it has to get scheduled.
For example:
Want better sleep? Track your wake-up time and bedtime. I love my quiet mornings for personal development, so instead of sleeping in, I changed my nighttime routine—reading in amber light and aiming to be asleep by 9:30 PM.
More water? Fill a bottle and keep it next to your bed. I carry a bottle with a handle and straw everywhere, and if I have a busy day, I set reminders to hydrate (bonus: make your reminders fun—“Drink your water, you beautiful, hydrated boss”).
See your best friend more? Pick a day of the week to check in. Send a message, a voice note, something. Then—say it with me—put it in your calendar. Look at the calendar and send over a few dates and times you know you can get together or have a call and book it.
I know, I know—it sounds repetitive. That’s the point. We repeat until the new ways become habit. A goal without a plan is just a wish.
