In this deeply reflective episode of The Forties Formula podcast, hosts Jasmin Dhillon and Amanda Lim sit down with LAILA WHITE, former Reebok master trainer, fitness company founder, and Mrs. Singapore runner-up, to explore what it truly means to reinvent yourself across seasons of life. Laila reflects on how detours shaped her career, how resilience and discipline became her compass, and why she refuses to label setbacks as failures, only redirections and new doors waiting to be opened.

This episode also highlights Laila’s heart-centered work through Gallup and Spoonful of Hope, creating spaces and resources for women to connect, release, rebuild, and remember their power. From movement and mindset to community and purpose, this conversation offers grounded wisdom for any woman who’s ready to take risks, rewrite her definitions, and show up for the life she actually wants.

Tune in for a bold, inspiring reminder that growth isn’t linear, confidence isn’t inherited, and there are no final failures, only new seasons, new strengths, and new stories waiting to be lived.
