Rebloom Intro

Before the guests. Before the conversations. Before all of it — you deserve to know who’s behind this podcast.In this first episode, Vanessa Bright sits down with you and tells the whole story. Not the resumé version. The real one.From the classroom with locked doors inside a Maryland women’s correctional facility, to founding the Maryland Reentry Resource Center and GreenLift, to building Reentragent inside the Johns Hopkins Innovation Lab — and why all of it led to ReBloom.Vanessa also talks about what it means to build as a Black woman founder, the Michael Jordan no one invested in, her son’s asthma and the quote that changed how she sees the earth, dating after fifty, line dancing in cowboy boots, and why she built a podcast called ReBloom.Because blooming isn’t always linear. Sometimes you have to go dormant before you can come back deeper and more yourself than before.This episode is for every woman who has been through something hard and is still showing up.———Tell me where you are right now → https://reblooming.gumroad.com/l/hxrdbvI read every response and send you something personal back.Pre-order The ReBloom Life Plan workbook → https://reblooming.gumroad.com/l/hxrdbv60+ pages · Guided workbook · Delivered by May 30You know something needs to change.
