From Fitness Trainer to Filmmaker: Kit Rich on Reinvention, Risk & Pursuing Your Dreams

In this episode of Shift Your Day Job, I sit down with Kit Rich, a former celebrity fitness trainer turned award-winning filmmaker, to talk about the power of reinvention and chasing your true calling. Kit shares her unexpected path into the fitness world, the internal struggle of putting others’ goals before her own, and the bold steps she took to finally pursue her passion for storytelling.

We dive into the challenges of self-doubt, rejection, and taking risks—plus the importance of celebrating your growth along the way. Kit’s journey from training clients to writing, directing, and producing Isabella’s Garden is proof that it’s never too late to pivot and go after what you really want.

If you're feeling stuck or afraid to make a big change, this conversation will remind you that failure isn’t the end—it’s part of the process. Tune in and get inspired to take that first step toward the career (and life) you truly desire!
