In this episode of the Lead to Soar Podcast, Michelle Redfern is joined by Kerry Ashbrook, author of A Life Reinvented, for a grounded conversation about career change, reinvention, and agency.
Kerry shares her journey across senior corporate leadership, entrepreneurship, and investment, and reflects on the decisions required to move from success defined by others to a life and career designed with intent. This is not about an overnight transformation. It is about judgment, timing, and taking responsibility for choice.
The conversation explores:
What career reinvention actually involves beyond motivation and mindset
How women assess risk and opportunity at different life stages
The role of financial independence in expanding career choice
Why reinvention is often incremental, not dramatic
This episode is for women considering change, questioning what comes next, or wanting language for choosing a different path without burning everything down.
