It's Not About the Alcohol

EP155 Finding purpose and pleasure in your career with Gail Taylor


Listen Later

Do you dismiss your heart-felt ambitions because going after what you really want feels impossible?

It's easy to go for broke when you have nothing to lose. But when you've worked your ass off to get where you are, the idea of taking a risk can seem childish and unrealistic.

Which is why so many of us end up drinking too much despite having enviable lives. We become stagnant, uninspired and trapped by our own choices. And then feel resentful of loved ones who depend on us as if it's their fault for holding us back.

But women are doing some pretty badass things these days. And as long as you believe you're too old, too tired or otherwise incapable, you're never going to know what it's like to be one of them.

My guest today is Gail Taylor. After surviving childhood trauma and addiction, she became a successful financial advisor. And then, at age 60, completely reinvented her career as a musician, author and keynote speaker.

You'll walk away from this episode with an inspiring perspective on much fun it can be to just fucking go for it.
