The Destiny Scar: Bridgette Simmonds on Self Trust and Choosing Again

In this episode of Success Your Own Way, Yifat and Tina sit down with Bridgette Simmonds, transformational keynote speaker, executive coach, and founder of The Reset Movement.


Bridgette shares how growing up as the daughter of Jamaican immigrants shaped her early definition of success. Like many high achievers, she followed the path she thought she was supposed to follow, checking the boxes, making her family proud, and pursuing the version of success that had been handed to her. But a memorable moment she calls her “destiny scar” helped her question whether she was living someone else’s dream instead of her own.


From corporate marketing to coaching, breathwork, leadership development, and transformational work, Bridgette’s story is about learning to trust yourself, listen to your intuition, and choose again when the life you built no longer feels like yours. Together, Bridgette, Yifat, and Tina talk about self trust, burnout, mentorship, gratitude, emotional resilience, and the small ways we can remind others that they are seen.


This conversation is a reminder that success does not have to be rushed, forced, or built around proving yourself. Sometimes success looks like slowing down, savoring your life, reconnecting with your own voice, and remembering that as long as you are still here, you are not stuck.
