The Shameless Reinvention Podcast
We provide the honest conversations about reinvention that you can't find elsewhere—delivered with cultural wisdom, spiritual depth, and the kind of truth-telling that actually creates change. You may have to try different approaches to find what works uniquely for you, and we're here for that entire journey.

Our hosts are in a happy holiday mood, counting down their top 10 things to let go — from waiting for permission and scarcity mindset to perfectionism, people-pleasing, and the fear of who you’re supposed to be — to create space for reinvention and authentic living.
They share personal stories, practical steps (pick a few items, take one small action this week), and reading/watch suggestions to help you start releasing what no long...
Hosts Sonya and Sharon turn a family potato salad fiasco into a warm, funny exploration of authenticity, reinvention, and building your own life "recipe."
The episode mixes Thanksgiving reflections, practical steps for personal reinvention (inventory, improvise, taste as you go), and two finale truths: the plan isn’t the life, and your mess becomes your message.
Hosts Sonya Seymour and Sharon LaSure-Roy explore the "time, talent, and treasure" framework to help listeners recognize what they have in abundance and how that changes the way they show up.
Through real stories, including a medical student’s $5 donation and a retired surgeon teaching with shoestrings, they offer three simple steps: identify your current abundance, name one way to give from it, and take action.

After returning from a family vacation, guest Nanette finds herself unexpectedly out of a job because of a paperwork error. Instead of panicking, she leans into her long-held creative passions, publishing her novel Bad Intentions and pursuing screenwriting and filmmaking.

"I just sent a text that said "I'm fine" when I'm not fine at all. Twenty minutes later, I'm recording an episode about authenticity. The irony isn't lost on me. Here's the thing nobody tells you: You can know better and still do the thing. You can understand authenticity intellectually and still perform it away when the moment gets uncomfortable. That gap—between knowing and doing—is where most of us live."

You've lost your job, and suddenly you don't know how to introduce yourself. You're looking in the mirror wondering who you are without your title. And it doesn’t stop there. Relationships can shift, too. Some people don’t know how to connect with you once you’re not wearing the role they recognized. Who Are You When Your Title Doesn’t Define You?
Today we're talking about faith and resilience—not the Instagram quote version, but the real, messy, desperate way faith has to rebuild itself when everything you thought you knew gets destroyed.
Today we're talking about something that's been weighing on both of us lately – this idea of "having it all." You know that phrase that gets thrown around like confetti at a graduation party?
The myth whispers that if you're good enough, good things will happen. But what defines "good enough"?
Welcome to Shameless Reinvention, where we talk about the real work of changing your life. I'm Sonya, she's Sharon, and we're two women who got tired of living according to other people's playbooks. Every week, we're having the conversations about career pivots, relationship boundaries, faith questions, and personal growth that actually matter—the ones that help you build a life that fits who you're becoming, not who you used to be...
