Ep 77: Champagne, Apple Pie, and Reinventing Your Life with Fabienne Jacquet
What if the next version of you isn’t about becoming someone new, but finally coming home to yourself? In this episode, I’m joined by the ever-delightful Fabienne Jacquet, whose new book Champagne and Apple Pie is a fizzy and heartfelt manifesto for anyone craving a bold reinvention.
From her move from France to the U.S. in the 90s to the lessons she's poured into her second book, Fabienne offers a refreshing take on starting over—not as escape, but as expansion. We talk about intuition, identity, and the unexpected beauty of asking for help. Plus, we play a little “champagne or apple pie” game that will leave you smiling.
Topics Covered:
- Why moving abroad was an act of self-discovery for Fabienne, not escape
- The surprising role of feminine energy in personal reinvention
- How intuition guided her decision to start over
- Creating a life formula based on joy, not just improvement
- The power of cultural contrast to reveal your true self
- Why reinvention doesn’t require fixing yourself
- The human need for connection in an increasingly digital world
- How to prepare emotionally for big life changes
Here are some actions you can take, whether you have 5 minutes or 50:
- If you have 5 minutes, I have a video from Marie Forleo called “Need a life reset? Ask yourself these 5 questions”
- If you have 50 minutes, I have a podcast episode from Brendan Burchard called “10 Questions to Reinvent Your Life”
