Stop copying your old CV
Apr 24, 202500:12:47Tap to summarizeIf you’re reinventing — your CV should be too. In this episode, Coach Gwendy talks about something deceptively simple but quietly powerful: how we present ourselves on paper. Because when you’re shifting careers, returning to the market, or simply rethinking your next step, the last thing you want to do is copy and paste the past. “You’re not who you were five years ago — so why are you still leading with that version of you?” In this episode, you’ll hear:✅ Does your CV reflect who you’re becoming?✅ The subtle danger of the ‘file-open-save as’ approach✅ Being intentional without starting from zero✅ Does your CV feel more like you. Not like AI wrote it for you?✅ A three-part challenge to reconnect with your real value This is more than a job-hunting task — it’s a reinvention move. And even if AI can help with formatting or spelling, the story still has to be yours. This is definitely a task where you need to start Owning Your Space. PS. I promised to share a guide - that will follow soon.

Reinvention vs. Rebranding. What’s the Difference?
Apr 10, 202500:09:48Tap to summarizeReinvention isn’t about launching a new version of yourself. It’s about becoming more of who you really are. In this episode, Gwendy explores why so much of what we call “reinvention” is actually just rebranding — a new role, a fresh pitch, a different platform — but the same patterns underneath. If you’ve ever changed jobs, started something new, or stepped away from a career path but still felt stuck… this one’s for you. In this episode, you’ll hear: ✅ Why reinvention isn’t about how you show up — it’s about what’s shifting inside✅ The key difference between repackaging and real change✅ What to ask yourself if you’re making a move but nothing feels different You don’t need a new label. You need alignment. And reinvention always starts with the truth — not the packaging. 📲 Want to go beyond just listening?
