Former TV host and now life empowerment coach Pirie Jones Grossman interviewed 30 people whose inspirational stories of reinvention reveal struggle, strength, survival, and success. In Conversations with Pirie, each author's story uncovers their why and how of reinvention while illustrating their journey straddled by personal and professional challenges.




From a place of hope and self-belief, every ounce of courage and vulnerability is palpable in these stories whose authors navigated difficult and often devastating situations from gender inequality, divorce, and bullying to ageism, cancer, and homelessness before achieving their vision of a new future.




Confronting those challenges illustrates our shared humanity, and this collection demonstrates what it means to face the decision to act upon gut and passion and risk comfort for the unknown.




Pushing the boundaries is recreating; braving new orbits is reinvention.




Rethinking their approach to reinvention empowered these people with innovative paths to business, entrepreneurship, wellness, media, and more. And, no matter their obstacle, they all agreed it was worth every moment because their experiments and experiences paid off in fulfillment and prosperity and a healthy dose of resilience.




Filled with "I wonder if I can do that" to "I wish I had known," to "I did it," you'll read with the belief that anything is possible and that it's never too late to start something new.




This powerful storytelling contains valuable quotes and journal-worthy anecdotes that encourage us to believe in our second chapters.




Thought-provoking and personal, consider these authentic voices the first step in your creative transformation towards a reinvented life.
