S1 Ep184: Building a Life After Prison

In this deeply moving and powerful episode, Janeen speaks with Connie Paglianiti — a multi-award-winning speaker, bestselling author, and creator of the Red Flags in Plain Sight™ framework. With over four decades of experience in high-stakes event production, Connie shares the raw, personal story behind her remarkable transformation — from trusted professional to incarceration, and the long road to redemption.

After losing everything and spending time in prison, Connie candidly explains how shame and stigma kept her feeling locked away long after her sentence ended. In rebuilding her life, she uncovered the power of recognising red flags — in people, in business, and within ourselves — and now dedicates her career to helping others do the same.

This episode is a must-listen for any woman in leadership, business, or transition. Connie’s story is a reminder that even in the darkest moments, there is opportunity to rise, rebuild, and lead from a place of authenticity and courage.
