What happens when achievement no longer feels like alignment?

In this episode of Life Between Titles, host Savan Kong sits down with Dr. Sarah Johnson, who went from designing marketing campaigns at a fast-growing Seattle startup that went from startup to IPO—to walking away and pursuing a completely new path in occupational therapy. Sarah opens up about leaving a high-performing role, navigating uncertainty, and learning to trust her own intuition through the process.

They explore clarity, purpose, and the courage to start again. Sarah shares how reflection, community, and self-awareness helped her define success on her own terms and create a more intentional life.

Sarah shares practical tools for self-discovery that helped her redefine her career path:

Whether you are feeling stuck, burned out, or uncertain about what comes next, Sarah’s story proves that reinvention is possible at any age, and that courage often begins when comfort ends.
