In episode 268, I speak with coach, mentor, speaker and adventurer, Bobbi Barrington. Imagine spending 26 years in the wrong marriage, 40 years in the wrong career, and 59 years in the wrong body. That was Bobbi Barrington’s reality - until she chose change. Now, at 65, in just a few short years, Bobbi has completely reinvented herself, proving that transformation is possible at any age. A speaker, storyteller, and coach, she shares powerful insights on courage, resilience, and stepping into the unknown - lessons that apply to us all. Bobbi is an inspiring example of the stunning sculpture that resides within everyone of us, just waiting to be set free. This is a transformational conversation, not to be missed.
Bobbi Barrington is the real, authentic, deal. She doesn’t just talk about transformation—she lives it. After living 26 years in the wrong marriage, 40 years in the wrong career, and 59 years in the wrong body—Bobbi made a radical choice: to rewrite her entire life. In just a few short years, she went from feeling lost, failing, & in the wrong body, to becoming female,, fulfilled, thriving, & so FREE !
She has lived as a man & she has lived as a woman. Now single, female, & so free, she has seen the world from both perspectives and gained profound insights into gender, identity, and the universal human experience. Bobbi is a trans woman & of course gender is a massive part of her story, but just one part, because Bobbi has transitioned twice, in body, & in mind.
Because her real story is about facing her fears & coming out stronger the other side. it’s about courage, facing fear & self-doubt, building an emotional capacity & nervous system that have made her almost bullet proof, and finding such power within her, the power we all have inside to break free of limitations and create a life on our own terms, if only we knew how to access it. A storyteller, traveller, and French speaker, Bobbi brings depth, humour, and wisdom to every conversation.
She is deeply reflective, articulate, and willing to go to the raw, real places others shy away from because she's been there - elbow deep in the messy emotions & fears, living & breathing transition, transformation & change, going places people fear to go, to make for an unforgettable, thought-provoking conversation. Listeners will be drawn in by her energy, her humanity, and her ability to reframe life’s biggest challenges into opportunities for reinvention and growth. Whether discussing personal transformation, emotional intelligence, authenticity, the unseen delights of womanhood, or stepping onto a path you can't see & trusting one will appear, Bobbi brings real-world strategies and insights that inspire action.
This is a conversation that’s raw, real, and life-changing, and one not to be missed.
