In this episode, we dive deep into what it really takes to thrive in tech and beyond. My guest, Dana Zellers, a former tech worker turned executive coach, joins me to unpack the lessons of work-life balance, the power of boundaries, and why intentional career planning is non-negotiable. 

Together, we explore coaching strategies, how to handle career crossroads, and the role mentors and managers play in our growth.

We talk about giving yourself (and others) grace, why positive reinforcement matters more than you think, and how self-driven professionals can learn to recognize when it’s time to reset. 

Whether you’re climbing the ladder or navigating a pivot, this episode is packed with practical insights to help you take control of your career path and protect your energy along the way.
