What if your biggest "no" was actually the first step toward your truest "yes"? This week on The Reinvention Game, I sat with Ganyah Goldstein—a wildlife biologist, traveler, and deeply soulful human whose life didn't go according to plan… and thank goodness for that.
Her story is a testament to the strength that grows in the wild, the kind that teaches us to trust our instincts even when the path disappears.
We talked about:
Transition — From a childhood dream of acting to the jungle floors of Borneo, to being told "you'll never make it," and proving every doubter wrong.
Failure — What it feels like to pour your heart into something, only to watch it slip away. And how she alchemized that heartbreak into a new kind of purpose.
Purpose & Leadership — Ganyah is now helping others step into the wild, connect with nature, and reimagine their lives, too.
What moved me the most was how Ganyah spoke about staying consistent and focused on her dreams. She had everything lined up to become a wildlife vet because that was what she thought would help her leave an impact. And when she didn't get in twice, she had to figure it out from the beginning. But she kept going. She reimagined. She reinvented. And she found something even more alive, more in sync with her soul.

If her story resonates, you can connect with her directly on Instagram at @gardenofganyah. She also runs group trips centered around wildlife conservation. These are life-changing opportunities to learn how to become a conservationist, reconnect with nature, and, yes, reconnect with yourself.
She teaches from the field. From the forests. From real life. And you'll feel it in every word.
Take a deep breath, trust the detours, and go listen.
