Reinventing Leadership Through a Negative Split (Feat. Mary Beech)

In this episode, Mary Beech, Chief Growth Officer at Thorne, shares how a personal health scare reshaped her approach to leadership, wellness, and purpose. With a background at globally recognized brands like Disney, Ralph Lauren, and Kate Spade, Mary now channels her experience into helping others live healthier, more intentional lives. She introduces the “negative split” mindset — borrowed from marathon running — as a powerful metaphor for growth: the idea that your best work may still be ahead of you. Mary reflects on what it means to reinvent your career with clarity, lead with authenticity, and find fulfillment through purpose-driven work. You’ll learn how aligning with wellness transformed Mary’s leadership journey, why embracing reinvention can fuel lasting impact, and how bringing your full self to the table creates meaningful connections in any role.
