In this unforgettable episode of Reinvention Real Talk, I sit down with the incomparable Guerdy Abraira award winning global event designer, breast cancer survivor, Real Housewives Of Miami star, and now media correspondent with her own segment G-Spot with Guerdy on Island TV.

From shaving her head on national television on her terms for chemo-treatment to claiming her place as one of the top event planners in the world (Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar & The Knot approved), Guerdy opens up about the radical self-prioritization, resilience, and reinvention that followed her cancer diagnosis. We go beyond the Bravo screen to unpack her legacy as a powerhouse, mother, media voice, and creative disruptor.

 In this episode:

  • The raw emotional reset that followed her cancer journey

  • How Guerdy redefined success and learned to say "no" with grace

  • The intersection of creativity, culture, and identity in business

  • Why G-Spot with Guerdy is her boldest storytelling yet

  • What reinvention looks like through trauma, television, and truth

Plus, a fun rapid-fire round and Guerdy’s one-word definition of reinvention that will stay with you long after you listen.
