Episode notes

I love conversations that remind you who you are before the world told you who to be. In this episode, I sit down with Cynthia Garcia, Founder of Rewritten Beauty, to talk about what it’s really like to start over in your 40s, the ego deaths that come with reinvention, and the fear that shows up when you leave what you’re known for to answer a deeper calling. Cynthia shares the emotional reality of launching a physical product brand, the pressure of having more to lose later in life, and why an “easy” life can quietly drain your sense of purpose. Tune in to know the difference between a personal brand and a living brand, how to create a category of one, and why people buy who you’ve become.
