Ep #259: Lifting the Mental Health Stigma: How Prioritizing Happiness and Changing Careers Can Help You Live a More Fulfilling Life, The Career of Dave Rowan
We're excited to have XYPN member Dave Rowan, owner of Rowan Financial, a fee-only firm in Bethlehem, PA, on the show today. Dave is a career changer; he spent a majority of his professional life at Crayola - yes, the Crayola - as the Director of Research and Development, and though he loved his work, he found that he was drawn to financial planning and decided in 2010 to start his own firm on the side.
While Dave remained employed full time at Crayola for seven years while he ran his firm part time, he found that he was having trouble balancing all of his personal and professional responsibilities, and ultimately, his mental health declined. Dave became restless, anxiety-ridden and depressed, which ultimately led to his decision to leave Crayola and focus on a career that gives him the most fulfillment.
Join us as we discuss the mental health stigma and Dave's career-path, from having a high-level position in a corporate environment to running his own firm. Learn how he has prioritized happiness and ways to practice self-care through meditating, eating right, and more. Finally, listen as we talk about embracing what he calls an "experimental attitude" and having fun discovering what serves you in order to ultimately serve your clients more authentically.
If you're interested in hearing about how to take care of yourself personally during these turbulent times, this episode is for you.
