What happens when the host becomes the guest? In this final episode of our Brave Women at Work: Lessons in Letting Go series, we’re flipping the script. My dear friends (and co-authors) Jackie Cetera and Amy Quesenberry take the mic and interview me about my chapter in the book, “Blood, Sweat, and Careers.”

I won’t lie—I was nervous (still am). Sharing this story out loud is vulnerable. But like so many women in this book—and life—I’ve learned that letting go of old identities, relationships, expectations, and the weight of other people’s actions has been the hardest and most freeing work of my life.

We talk about:

  • What led me to walk away from a "successful" corporate career
  • How a health challenge became the wake-up call (and permission slip) I didn’t know I needed
  • And why I chose to build a business rooted in heart
  • This entire season of The Flourish Careers Podcast serves as a reminder that letting go is not loss—it’s liberation. And sometimes, the bravest thing you can do is write your own story.

    With all my heart, thank you. Thank you for listening, for supporting, and for walking this path with us. 💚
