Resilience Through Reinvention

Joanne Lockwood is joined by wisdom speaker and coach Bobbi Barrington for a candid conversation about resilience, reinvention, and the cost of living an inauthentic life.

Bobbi shares her lived experience of transitioning later in life and the profound changes that followed—losses alongside new freedom, joy, and a renewed sense of possibility. Together they explore how self-trust is built, how fear and grief show up during major life shifts, and why emotional intelligence and emotional vocabulary can be a gateway to healthier relationships and stronger communities.

They also discuss practical realities that come with being a trans woman, including navigating healthcare, self-acceptance, and moments of doubt, alongside the power of supportive women’s spaces and connection. The episode leaves listeners with an invitation to challenge limiting beliefs, “tell a better story,” and choose a life that is truly their own.
