Description

What if stepping away from your career wasn’t the end of your story but the beginning of your impact?

In this episode of The Luminous Life, we’re joined by Alina Albano, former NYC attorney, mother of five, and now a board member at Family Promise, a nonprofit helping families facing homelessness in Bergen County, NJ.

Alina’s story is equal parts bold, hilarious, and deeply affirming ... a reminder that we are allowed to evolve. From high-powered legal work to diaper duty to rediscovering her voice and purpose in the nonprofit space, this conversation speaks to any woman who’s ever said:

“I love my kids... but I need more.”

We explore:

Life after leaving a traditional career

Finding meaning beyond motherhood

Why women are allowed to change — again and again

Self-care as alone time, not spa days

Aging, style, and trusting yourself more at 40 than you ever did at 20

✨ This is a love letter to reinvention and to the women who refuse to disappear in the process. ✨
