I have a coaching client from many years ago who put his life savings into a health center

and he was doing really, really well and then the pandemic hit and literally zero clients.

On the verge of bankruptcy right now, probably will lose everything.

I have another friend who has had a restaurant for over 20 years.

Again, right on the verge of bankruptcy, I don't think he'll make it through the pandemic.

Lastly, I have a number of former students here in Barcelona who worked in the travel industry.

Barcelona is kind of a tech travel hub with booking.com and big Airbnb offices and things and

they've just lost their jobs. They've just gone. Right and so in the past year,

the pandemic has affected pretty much everyone's work and maybe in the best case scenario,

that means you're in your pajamas with your laptop in the living room, worst case scenario,

maybe your whole industry is at least for the time being completely gone.

And the question is, what do you do? Well, on the one hand, it's a total upheaval and it's scary

and it's unsettling. On the other hand, it's an opportunity to reinvent yourself, perhaps for the

better. A lot of people lost jobs that they weren't that passionate about and I know that because,

well, about 70, 80% of people are pretty unhappy with their job before the pandemic and so,

they've lost something they didn't like that doesn't mean that makes it any easier,

but perhaps this is a time to reinvent. And I have personally reinvented my life and my lifestyle,

even my geography more times than I can count. And this past year has been a reinventian for me too.

And I've just been doing a lot of thinking about how to do that better, a little more gracefully.

Can't say that I'm an expert at the grace part, but my guest on this week's show potentially is.

She is an author and expert kind of a pivot expert. She has this new book called You Turn,

meaning like you turn pivot to your life. Hope you find it useful. If you're new here,
