How Many Jobs Does it Take to Land Your Dream Job

How Many Jobs Does It Take To Land Your Dream Career? 🎯 Glamour Shots. Hooters. Singing telegrams. Easter bunny costumes. And somehow... a record deal. 👇In this episode of Reinventing Rumbley, Christina gets hilariously real about the winding, wild, completely unpredictable path it takes to find your dream career — and why most of us are asking the wrong question entirely.From selling pencil tattoos at eight years old to bartending at Calico Jack's in a cowgirl holster to handing Babyface her demo reel across a restaurant table — Christina has held more jobs than most people can count. And every single one of them led her exactly where she needed to go.In this episode Christina breaks down: Why the average person holds 13 jobs between the ages of 18 and 58 — and why that's actually a good thing. How over 40% of those jobs happen before you're even 25. Why every job — even the ones that broke your heart or made you gag — was a stepping stone you needed. The real question to ask yourself instead of "what's my dream job?". Why Gen X might actually have the advantage over younger generations when it comes to AI and the changing world of work. What Christina learned from serving Christian Slater coffee and handing Babyface a demo CD Why your job doesn't have to feed your soul to feed your future. What it means to find "your flavor" — and why Christina is a vanilla chocolate Häagen-Dazs in a world full of pistachio. Plus — the honest, vulnerable moment when Christina admits that starting this podcast pulled her out of one of the darkest periods of her life. And why reinvention, even when it's your thousandth time, can still feel terrifyingly unfamiliar.This one is for every person who's ever felt lost, behind, or like they missed the memo on what they're supposed to be doing with their life. 💪Spoiler: You didn't.

Not So Deep Thoughts: I Should Have Been a Detective

We all have one. That secret career that lives rent-free in your head. The one where you think — God, I would have been SO good at that. 👇For Christina Rumbley? She wanted to be Jodie Foster.Not the actress. The character. Clarice Starling. Forensic psychologist. Criminal profiler. The one who sits across from killers and figures out exactly what makes them tick.There was just one tiny problem.The smells. The blood. The barf. The... everything. 🤢 Christina has a gag reflex so legendary that when her daughter was a baby and something exploded in the diaper — she had to leave the room, vomit, compose herself, and come back. Her husband was catching barf with his bare hands while Christina ran in the opposite direction at full speed.Safe to say forensic psychology was never going to work out.But that hasn't stopped her from Googling the cost of a master's degree in criminology at 52. You know. Just to see.In this episode of Not So Deep Thoughts, Christina gets into: *The secret detective that lives inside her and refuses to be quiet *Why her dad being a Vietnam vet, former Chief of Police and her brother being a retired, Green Beret Major probably has something to do with all of this *The three separate times she pulled over on the highway to "save" people who did not need saving *Performing chest compressions on a perfectly breathing woman in an LA parking lot *Why she'd write a thriller novel if she could — and why writing like she speaks might be a problem What YOUR secret career says about who you really are? Why it's never too late to explore the version of yourself you never gave a chance! This one is funny, real, and will have you thinking about the dream you quietly shelved — and whether it's time to dust it off. 🎙️📩 Email Christina: ReinventingRumbley@gmail.com 🔔 Subscribe — new episodes every Wednesday ⭐ Leave a 5-star review — it genuinely helps more than you know 👇 Drop a comment: What's YOUR secret career?

Kalle Simpson: Discover Night Brand Owner - Part 2

In Part 2 of this incredible two-part conversation, Christina sits back down with Kalle Simpson, founder of Discover Night, and they go places most entrepreneur interviews never do. From the psychology of self-funded founders to the moment Kalle realized her company was becoming as unhealthy as she was — this is the conversation every woman in business needs to hear.Kalle gets brutally honest about: Why she walked away from VC money even when it was on the table — and why profitability always made more sense to her than burning cash for top-line growth. The moment she realized she was selling self-care products while completely neglecting her own self-care. Why "you can't have a healthy company from an unhealthy person" — and how she watched it play out in real time. How her company went from a cult-following silk pillow to a 35-product nighttime beauty empire in Costco, Sam's Club, and now — military contracts. Why she stopped asking permission to go to the gym and started treating her own health as a business strategy. The hard truth about paying for outside business advice — and why trusting your gut might be worth more than any consultant. What going digital-first has unlocked for Discover Night after years of brick-and-mortar retail Her advice to any entrepreneur stepping into the arena scared and excited — and why she wouldn't change a single hard lesson. Plus — the story of the customer whose house was on fire and grabbed her Discover Night pillow before anything else. 😂 🔥And Christina gets personal too — about gaining 45 pounds while owning spas, her daughter thinking the spa was mommy's home at two years old, and what it really costs you when you put yourself last for 20 years.This one is raw, real, funny, and deeply human. Two female founders who've been in the fire — talking about what it actually takes to come out the other side. 💪📩 Email Christina: ReinventingRumbley@gmail.com 🔔 Subscribe — new episodes every Wednesday ⭐ Leave a 5-star review — it genuinely helps more than you know 👇 Drop a comment: What's YOUR reinvention story?

Kalle Simpson: Discover Night Brand Owner - Part 1

This week Christina sits down with entrepreneur, founder, and fellow reinventionist, Kalle Simpson — the powerhouse behind Discover Night, a 10-year self-funded beauty and wellness brand that went from a single silk pillow to a full 360 nighttime beauty company with 35 product lines. And her story? It's one of the most raw, real, and relatable founder conversations we've ever had on this show. Kalle built something extraordinary. Seven years of hockey stick growth. Self-funded. No VC money. No safety net. Just pure grit, vision, and an insane level of dedication. And then 2022 hit. A stolen truck. Millions in uninsured inventory. The loss of her biggest customer — which represented 75% of her business. All at once. "I went from that huge peak to doing everything I possibly could." In Part 1 of this two-part conversation, Christina and Kalle dig deep into: How Discover Night went from one silk pillow to a 35-product beauty empire — all self-funded What it really takes to build a product company from scratch when nobody's backing you The difference between VC-funded startups and self-funded founders when the bottom falls out Why business partnership requires alignment in lifestyle, sacrifice, and season of life — not just vision The identity crisis that hits when a founder who has never NOT grown revenue suddenly faces contraction. How Kalle faked five different customer service email personas to look like a bigger company Why she spent a fortune on outside business advice — and what she learned the hard way The muscle she never knew she had until she was forced to build it Why the hardest years may have actually saved her company Plus — Christina gets real about her own parallel experiences running and selling her companies, the emotional toll business stress takes on your body, and why sometimes blind faith is the only thing keeping you going at 3am. This one is for every founder, entrepreneur, and woman in business who has ever felt like the floor just dropped out — and had to figure out how to keep going anyway. 💪 📩 Email Christina: ReinventingRumbley@gmail.com 🔔 Subscribe — new episodes every Wednesday ⭐ Leave us a 5-star review — it helps more than you know 👇 Drop a comment: Have you ever faced a moment that nearly took down everything you built?

You're not alone.Christina breaks down: Why friendship after 50 feels exactly like navigating a dating app — without ever having used one The very real difference between how men and women approach new friendships (spoiler: men just... show up with their bowling ball) Why women over 50 judge themselves so harshly before meeting someone new The unwritten rules nobody gave us — and why we desperately need an SOP for adult friendship What happens when the conversation lulls and you're sitting there wondering if you've already said too much. Why overthinking might actually be the thing standing between us and the friendships we're craving Plus — Tank makes a cameo because of course he does. 🐾😂This one is short, real, and hits exactly where it hurts — in the best possible way. 📩 Email Christina: ReinventingRumbley@gmail.com 🔔𝐃𝐨𝐧'𝐭 𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐠𝐞𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐮𝐛𝐬𝐜𝐫𝐢𝐛𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐦𝐲 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐥 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐮𝐩𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐬. https://www.youtube.com/@ReinventingRumbley?sub_confirmation=1 🔗 Stay Connected With Me.
