In this episode of Invisible Glitter, host Sandy Parker Martinez sits down with her lifelong friend and reinvention role model, Deborah Wright. Together, they explore the power of second (and third… and fourth) chapters and the gritty, graceful work of becoming who you were meant to be, at any age.

Deborah shares her journey from being unexpectedly let go at 47 to launching her own successful translation business, Phoenix Translations—a nod to rising from the ashes. But she didn’t stop there. At 60, she and her husband adopted an 11-year-old girl from foster care. At 65, she went back to college. And by 68, she had earned her master’s in addiction counseling.

This episode is full of laughter, truth-telling, and the kind of wisdom that only comes from living fully and bravely. Deborah reminds us that reinvention isn’t always glamorous—it’s often born out of desperation, heartbreak, or sheer determination. But it’s always worth it.

Listeners will walk away with a renewed sense of purpose, the belief that it’s never too late to start again, and a powerful reminder: You are enough. Be yourself. And don’t wait to start living.

Because life isn’t over—it’s just getting interesting.
