Podcast Insights
Content Themes
The podcast covers themes like career pivots, identity shifts, leadership growth, and motherhood, with episodes exploring topics such as navigating career inflection points, overcoming imposter syndrome, and the concept of 'messy middle' life experiences. For example, recent episodes include discussions on the impact of futures thinking on healthcare and why sharing one's brilliance is crucial.
The Reimagining Lab is where mid-career and midlife women come to explore the truth of who they are, what’s shifting, and who they’re becoming next.
Hosted by Christine Perfetti, social psychologist, founder of Lift Up Connections, and creator of the Only You Reinvention Framework, this podcast shares honest, intimate conversations with women navigating reinvention at one of the most pivotal stages of adulthood.
Each week, you’ll hear real stories of growth, clarity, and becoming from career pivots and identity shifts to healed relationships, new beginnings, and the messy middle moments we rarely talk about. Christine brings her warmth, wisdom, and decades of experience in human behavior to help you reconnect with your voice, your desires, and the next chapter calling you forward.
Inside The Reimagining Lab, we experiment.
We get curious.
We create space for the woman you are becoming, not the one the world expected.
Welcome to The Reimagining Lab.
Six months ago, UX leader and educator Amanda Stockwell said yes to a cup of coffee, never imagining that one conversation would lead her into founding a nonprofit, joining a social enterprise accelerator, and reshaping her entire career path.
In this inspiring episode, Amanda returns to The Reimagining Lab to share what she’s learned in the messy middle of building The Seed List, a nonprofit designed to create equitable internship pathways for students entering the tech and startup world.
We explore:
- What the messy middle really feels like
- Why her UX research career uniquely prepared her for nonprofit leadership
- The power of a little naïveté when starting something new
- Redefining success when the external markers don’t match the impact
- How community, connection, and authentic networks open unexpected doors
- Why taking the smallest step, showing up, saying yes, often becomes the big turning point
Amanda’s story is a reminder that reinvention doesn’t require certainty. It requires alignment, courage, curiosity, and a willingness to walk through the “yellow door” when life shows you a path you never expected.
