My “first life” was in marketing: I built a 13-year career filled with creativity, incredible colleagues, world-renowned clients and a deep well of knowledge. I was also constantly stressed out and struggled with daily overwhelm that led to burnout. I was reactive in most work situations, and it wasn’t until I started working with a coach that I was able to understand how my mindset was affecting me, and what I was actually passionate about. I realized I wanted to help others gain clarity in their own careers so they could build a life that provided purpose, enrichment, and contentment. With the right tools we can be agents of change, actively creating the reality we desire.
