What if it all works out? What if you decided to change direction? Today's WECAN interview with Alisha Fernandez Miranda is a masterclass in radical reinvention and the courage to embrace new chapters. She is a Cuban-American bestselling author of My What If Year and USA Today bestseller Someone’s Gotta Give, Speaker, I.G. Advisors Chair, and Mom living in Scotland. Discover how stepping away from a high-powered corporate career at age 40 to spend a year exploring the dream jobs of her youth, working on Broadway, and as an unpaid intern has transformed her relationship with ambition, burnout, success, and joy. Alisha shares powerful insights on shedding perfectionism, conquering the fear of failure, and proving that you are never too old and that it is never too late to rewrite your life’s story. Give yourself permission to explore entirely new paths without needing a linear blueprint. The most thrilling chapter of her journey is yet to unfold on screen: her personal memoir, My What If Year, is currently being adapted into a Warner Bros. feature film starring and produced alongside America Ferrera, beautifully proving the magic of owning your narrative and that it is never too late to reinvent your path. Alisha reminds us that we have absolute free will, giving ourselves permission to feel joy and excitement, chase our dreams, and pivot at any age. I love her books, and she is such an incredible role model who leads with her authentic self and inspires so many of us to at least do that a little bit, leaning out the window every now and then to do something different that might scare us a little bit, leave our comfort zones, and try things out. 0:00 - Introduction & The Inspiration Behind My What If Year 5:20 - Embracing Radical Reinvention and Leaving Comfort Behind 12:45 - From Corporate Leader to Beginner: Navigating the Fear of Failure 21:10 - The Power of Curiosity and Asking \"What If?\" at Any Age 30:15 - Writing, Storytelling, and Designing a Life on Your Own Terms 39:40 - Takeaways:
