In Part 2 of my conversation with Mallory Mahoney, we move into the moment that changed everything — her decision to step away from corporate life and choose a pause instead of a plan. We talk honestly about what it takes to listen to yourself when the next step isn’t clear and the identity you’ve known no longer fits.

This episode explores what happens after the decision: the uncertainty, the grief, the relief, and the quiet work of remembering who you are beneath the titles. A conversation about trust, courage, and allowing what’s next to unfold without forcing it.
