#46 - Reclaiming the New You To Live a Fun & Creative Life with Jen Chambers
Manage episode 520153040 series 3615642
When life strips away everything you thought you were… who do you become next?
In this raw and breathtaking conversation, Jen Chambers shares the story of waking up at 15 with her entire memory erased — no past, no identity, no sense of who she was supposed to be. What followed wasn’t just recovery; it was a full-blown rebirth.
Together, we explore the messy beauty of midlife reinvention, the deep wisdom stored in the body, and how choosing yourself — even in the face of fear, illness, or uncertainty — becomes the most sacred act of freedom.
Jen opens up about rebuilding her identity from the ground up, the power of storytelling as self-trust, and why midlife is not a winding down…but a revving up.
If you’re navigating a transition, craving a deeper sense of purpose, or feeling the pull toward your next chapter, this episode will remind you of your resilience, your joy, and the woman you are here to rise into.

- How storytelling becomes a pathway back to your power.
- Why your body remembers what your mind forgets — and how to honor that truth.
