What It Really Takes to Reinvent Your Life: A Conversation with Amanda Moreno Erdoğan

In this episode of  ⁨@empoweredwithgina⁩  Gina sits down with pastry chef, entrepreneur, and mother Amanda Moreno Erdoğan for a raw, grounded conversation about what reinvention actually looks like — not the pretty version you see online, but the real, layered, messy kind that happens when life forces you to grow.Amanda opens up about growing up in a big Mexican American family in East LA, watching her father, renowned attorney Greg Moreno, build a legacy that shaped her idea of impact and discipline. She shares how she built a fast-paced fashion career in New York, pivoted into the culinary world with zero experience, became an executive pastry chef serving some of the city’s biggest names, and later walked away from it all to move across the world with two small children.Together, Gina and Amanda talk about grief, identity loss, motherhood, marriage, career shifts, and the uncomfortable but necessary seasons where you feel completely unanchored. Amanda breaks down how she rebuilt her confidence and community in Istanbul, launched her business A Treat Life, returned home during the pandemic, and eventually created a life and career that finally felt aligned.This episode is for anyone who’s been asking themselves, “Can I start over again?” or “Is it too late to change my life?” Amanda’s story is proof that reinvention isn’t a one-time event — it’s something you earn over and over again by choosing yourself, even when it’s hard.If you’re ready to redefine what your next chapter looks like, this conversation will meet you exactly where you are.
