Let's Pivot (and get more real)
After nine episodes of The Reinvention Room, it’s time for a shift — not a reset, but a refocus.
In this episode, I share how the podcast is evolving to better support you — with more situational, practical conversations about real reinvention moments: redundancy, promotion, career pivots, bad bosses, big dreams, and big changes.
You’ll hear about:
✅ The shift to shorter, topic-specific episodes ✅ Why some episodes will now live exclusively in the Reinvention Room Club ✅ The need for private spaces away from social media ✅ An open invitation to tell me what reinvention looks like for you

Stop copying your old CV
If you’re reinventing — your CV should be too.
In this episode, Coach Gwendy talks about something deceptively simple but quietly powerful: how we present ourselves on paper. Because when you’re shifting careers, returning to the market, or simply rethinking your next step, the last thing you want to do is copy and paste the past.
“You’re not who you were five years ago — so why are you still leading with that version of you?”
In this episode, you’ll hear:✅ Does your CV reflect who you’re becoming?✅ The subtle danger of the ‘file-open-save as’ approach✅ Being intentional without starting from zero✅ Does your CV feel more like you. Not like AI wrote it for you?✅ A three-part challenge to reconnect with your real value
This is more than a job-hunting task — it’s a reinvention move.
And even if AI can help with formatting or spelling, the story still has to be yours. This is definitely a task where you need to start Owning Your Space.
PS. I promised to share a guide - that will follow soon.

Traditional Job? You Have a Choice.
You don’t have to follow a path just because it’s familiar.
In this episode, Gwendy unpacks what it really means to want something different — not out of rebellion, but because life changes, and so do you. If you're quietly wondering whether the traditional job model still works for who you're becoming, you're not alone.
This isn’t about anti-job. It’s about pro-alignment.And it starts by asking: “Is this still working for me?”
In this episode, you’ll hear:
✅ What a “traditional job” means — and who defines it✅ Why challenging your path can cause friction✅ How your strengths are clues to what motivates you✅ Why portfolio paths are worth considering
You have more options than you think.
And reinvention doesn't always mean leaving — sometimes, it means reshaping.

Reinvention vs. Rebranding. What’s the Difference?
Reinvention isn’t about launching a new version of yourself. It’s about becoming more of who you really are.
In this episode, Gwendy explores why so much of what we call “reinvention” is actually just rebranding — a new role, a fresh pitch, a different platform — but the same patterns underneath.
If you’ve ever changed jobs, started something new, or stepped away from a career path but still felt stuck… this one’s for you.
In this episode, you’ll hear:
✅ Why reinvention isn’t about how you show up — it’s about what’s shifting inside✅ The key difference between repackaging and real change✅ What to ask yourself if you’re making a move but nothing feels different
You don’t need a new label. You need alignment. And reinvention always starts with the truth — not the packaging.
