This month, we're giving the wheel a fresh spin. We'll explore reinvention in different forms - personal, professional, and even playful, because reinvention isn't about tossing everything out, it's about keeping the good stuff and adding a new twist.
The Nostalgia Effect: Back to the Future in 2025
Ever found yourself craving the comfort of the past - a song, a place, or even a childhood holiday? You're not alone. One of 2025's more curious travel trends is nostalgia tourism. But nostalgia isn't just shaping travel. In careers and life too, many are revisiting passions and skills that once defined them. Reinvention often starts not with something new, but with something remembered. What's one part of your past you'd love to revisit, and maybe reimagine?
Beyond One Paycheck: Reinventing How We Earn
If the years since Covid have taught us anything, it's that no career is fully secure - and resilience comes from creating more than one way to thrive. As this article points out, side hustles and extra income streams aren't just smart, they're essential. Reinvention isn't always about changing careers; sometimes it's about reimagining how we earn. So, what's one idea you've been holding onto that could become your next stream of possibility?
