Have you done everything “right”? Followed the rules, built the dream career, checked all the boxes you thought would make you happy — and yet, you still feel that ache inside?

Today’s guest, Megan Hellerer, knows that feeling well. After graduating at the top of her class from Stanford and spending eight years as a Google executive, she found herself crying on the bathroom floor — successful on paper, but completely miserable inside.

Now, as an executive career coach for Underfulfilled Overachievers and author of Directional Living, Megan helps women realign their lives and careers with who they truly are. We talk about the “fulfillment ache,” why you should forget your purpose and follow your curiosity instead, how to start making decisions that feel truly aligned, and so much more.
