The Ripple Effect — Quiet Ripples, Lasting Impact.

“When the ground shifts, you discover what you're really made of”

In this episode of Shameless Reinvention, we sit down with Christin Zollicoffer — a changemaker who turned an institutional ending into a powerful beginning. After her VP of DEI role at Brown University was eliminated, Christin didn't retreat. She built https://TheStrategyCatalysts.com and redefined what leadership without self-erasure actually looks like.

We explore the quiet ripples — the ones that don't trend but transform. How do you lead with both ferocity and humanity? What happens when you stop hiding your highest self? And what does it mean to give others permission to breathe again?

This conversation is for anyone who's ever had to choose between fitting in and standing out — and chose themselves anyway.

Special Guest: Christin Zollicoffer

Production Management: Rolf Taylor

Hosts Sonya and Sharon revisit their episode on the myth of "having it all" and reframe it through their Ripple Effect series. They explore how letting go of performance and modeling vulnerability creates outward ripples that give others permission to breathe, rest, set boundaries, and reinvent.

The episode contrasts masks (performing perfection) with mirrors (showing truth), shares practical steps—lighten the load publicly, curate your witnesses, and treat rest as leadership—and issues a simple challenge: identify one pattern to break and ask who benefits when you do.

When you stop pretending you have it all together, something powerful happens. You give someone else permission to breathe. In today's episode of Shameless Reinvention, Sharon and Sonya are revisiting "The Myth of Having It All" - but with a twist. We're exploring the ripple effect of letting go, because your reinvention? It's never just about you. Your daughter is watching. Your team is watching. Your community is learning from the patterns you break and the boundaries you set.

Today we're getting real about: The difference between masks and mirrors Who taught us the myth (and why we're breaking it) How rest is actually a leadership act What it means to leave something beautiful behind Listen now wherever you get your podcasts or click the link in bio!

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 longer serves you.

Want to see Sonya & Sharon as well as listen? Follow the video version here.

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.
