As ambitious professionals, we often define our career, identity, ambitions based on the story we wrote for ourselves before starting our degrees. But what happens when we discover along the way that that story we created for ourselves back then no longer feels right? How do we walk away from something we’re good at, that defines us, that makes us feel like we’re contributing something important to the world, even if it no longer fulfills us?
This podcast was developed to share my own and others’ stories in moving through this, as well as strategies for what has helped along the way. Over time, the podcast’s mission has shifted slightly, and is now all about learning how to figure out what we want, doing things differently, navigating the associated challenges, and supporting one another in pursuing what's true and meaningful for each of us as individuals. And how that pursuit can ultimately impact the world around us.
