Reinvention doesn’t happen by accident — it happens when you get honest about the stories shaping your identity.
In this episode I sit down with Meghan Stockman, a transformational coach and identity strategist who has reinvented herself more times than most people dare to imagine. From military commander to space weather scientist, CEO and founder of KidSpace Indoor Playground, and now a soul-led coach, Meghan understands what it truly takes to step into your next chapter.

155|Mindset Medicine: Healing from Cancer, the Power of Laughter, and Lasting Transformation

What if healing isn’t just physical — but deeply emotional, relational, and even joyful?
In this powerful episode of Interrupted: Act 2, I sit down with Dr. Neja Zupan, who shares her personal journey of healing herself from cancer and the mindset shifts that changed everything.
We talk about the underestimated power of laughter, why joy is not optional in healing, and how real transformation lasts longer when we don’t do it alone. Dr. Nejay explains why healing in community — with friends, family, or a supportive group — creates deeper and more sustainable change than trying to power through on your own.
This conversation is about more than recovery. It’s about transformation, mindset, and choosing a higher way of living in your Chapter 2.
✨ In this episode, we explore:
Healing from cancer through mindset and inner work
How laughter and joy positively impact healing and resilience
Why transformation sticks when done in community
The emotional and energetic side of wellness
Creating lasting change during major life transitions
If you’re navigating illness, recovery, reinvention, or a major life interruption — this episode will leave you hopeful, grounded, and inspired.
