The Reinvention Issue
Alert the group chat, your new era is about to drop. Ahead of the new year, we’re spotlighting all the ways — big, medium, and small — you can reinvent your world and live a bolder, fuller life in 2026. The women featured below have done exactly that: One quit the corporate grind to get her hands dirty on a pig ranch, another gave herself a clean slate by deleting every text she’s ever sent or received, and plenty of others made tiny tweaks to their daily routines, kissing sluggish mornings goodbye.
Their stories don’t just show what reinvention can look like — they’re blueprints for your own. So if 2025 felt stale, 2026 is your chance to level up. Whether you're searching for your life's purpose or simply seeking a few outfits that feel more like you, let their transformations spark yours.
