Summary:
What does it actually look like to walk away from a thirty-year career and start over from scratch?
In this episode, we turn the mic on DeAnna and she gets real about the decision to step down from her role as a brokerage owner, the identity crisis that followed, going back to school in her fifties, and building Elevated Edge Coaching one client at a time. She also breaks down what coaching actually is, why it is nothing like therapy, who it is for, and why the people who invest in it tend to be the ones who go the furthest. If you have been thinking about a reinvention of your own (a new career, a new direction, a new version of yourself) this is the conversation you need to hear.
Key Takeaways:
- 00:00 Welcome back: the Lindsay Clancy trial, postpartum psychosis, and an important resource before we dive in
- 07:24 On a lighter note: Ted Lasso, Theo of Golden, and the Tom Hanks casting rumor we are very on board with
- 10:04 Today’s topic — reinvention: what it looks like, what drives it, and why more people in their fifties and beyond are doing it than ever before
- 11:54 DeAnna’s story: thirty years in real estate, stepping down from Summit Sotheby’s, and the six months of sitting with the question of what comes next
- 15:10 Why she chose coaching, what the International Coaching Federation certification actually requires, and the imposter syndrome she fought through in every Zoom class
- 21:11 The financial conversations, the spousal support, and what it really takes to make a reinvention work as a couple
- 25:41 What coaching is, and what it is not, the difference between therapy and coaching, why the two work beautifully together, and how to find the right coach for you
- 27:00 Why the top performers are always the ones with a coach, and what DeAnna has seen in her own clients that proves it
