Episode 9: Fired for a Form: The Vacation That Changed Her Life. Featuring Nanette Sandy

from Shameless Reinvention · host shamelessreinventions

After returning from a family vacation, guest Nanette finds herself unexpectedly out of a job because of a paperwork error. Instead of panicking, she leans into her long-held creative passions, publishing her novel Bad Intentions and pursuing screenwriting and filmmaking. This episode explores loss, freedom, and the power of choosing authenticity over performance—reminding listeners there is no expiration date on reinventing your life and following your art. She filled out a vacation form wrong. They let her go. She became an award-winning screenwriter, filmmaker, and published author. Sometimes the worst thing that happens to you is the best thing that could happen to you.   This week on Shameless Reinvention, Nannette Sandy tells us what happened when she stopped performing for her employer and started living authentically. Her husband said five words that changed everything. Her kids were watching. And she had a choice: play it safe or leap. She leaped. 🎙️ WATCH NOW and hear:   The conversation with her husband that shifted everything   What "stepping out on faith" actually looks like when you have real bills   Why you can't go back to performing once you've tasted authentic living   Her shameless truth bomb for anyone stuck in a job they hate #ShamelessReinvention #CareerTransition #Authenticity #Reinvention #Screenwriter #Author #CreativeCourage

NEWMORROW SESSIONS - A PodCast Series on the Future of Hospitality Mario C. Bauer, Florian Schneider, Axel Weber & Dr. Tillman Bardt The Newmorrow PodCast is more than a podcast — it's a platform for open dialog on the future of our business, a platform for those building what doesn’t exist yet. Here, we share and embrace our passion for the hospitality industry, but we won’t romanticize the journey. We ask the tough questions, confront uncomfortable truths, and prepare for a future that resists easy answers. We believe that the tougher and wilder times become, the more openly, honestly and humanely people need to talk to each other and act together. We believe, openness, togetherness, and truthfulness should also be cornerstones of a professional community to develop our utopian idea of „open source“. This is a space where visionaries don’t just imagine the future — they wrestle with the paradoxes that shape it: success vs. happiness, data vs. instinct, stability vs. reinvention. Join leaders, entrepreneurs, and thinkers as they share not what made them — but what’s actively shaping them, now and next.
