Career Spotlight

Jeremy Stegall's lifelong curiosity about why we do what we do led him to Iowa State University in 2004, where he earned his B.A. degree in Psychology. But he didn't go into that career path directly. In this episode, we explore his journey to becoming a life coach and author with Where the Change Happens Coaching.

We hear the ways his life has helped him grow into the type of coach he wanted to become. And how he leaned into his passion for writing through his blog, Where the Change Happens. That resulted in him publishing a book of the same name! In it he shares more practical steps to grow your mindfulness, and align with your values and goals.

Jeremy's latest book, After the Divorce: From Looking Back to Leaning In, is a fiction story that is sure to inspire and offers a different way to learn about life coaching. He shared with us about what inspired him to write both books, and the lessons he's gained along the way!

Nancy's first interest for her career path was woodworking. With talents in science and math, she was encouraged to attend college instead. But, her first interest in Environmental Science was not a viable career path. At least, that's what she was told at the time. She found herself as a Civil Engineer working for the City of Seattle. But then an opportunity for lunch-time education sparked her interest in a very different direction.

She followed her curiosity and switched career paths. Turns out her family has a long line of small businesses, from her Grandparents to her parents and now herself as she runs her own practice of Acupuncture.

We learned her story, and the lessons she gathered along the path to running her own business. She shares her experience, wisdom and joy for continuing to learn!
