Ep. 84 - Getting Comfortable with Change, Fulfillment Outside Career & Freedom Over Fear with Sam Vander Wielen

Sam Vander Wielen is an attorney-turned-entrepreneur who helps coaches and entrepreneurs grow their businesses so they get paid, protect their content, and get legally legit. After nearly 5 years as a corporate attorney, Sam chose to leave it all behind to chase more joy and fulfillment in life. Sam's passionate about travel, coffee, cooking and learning more about how we can all live a more authentic life.   We Talk About: Finding the right morning routine & the magic of the “menu” how Sam started her career as an attorney The scary flight that gave Sam a wake up call about her life Why it’s so hard to change when you’ve invested so much in a career The steps Sam took to start her business The difference between a hobby and a business Why not all your hobbies need to be a business How you’ll always keep pivoting (whether you want to or not) Why pivoting isn’t as scary as we think Fear versus freedom Why we aren’t wasting money or education when we change our careers/lives How to know when you want your hobby to be a career (and when you don’t) Do you love the boring parts of the job? The power of connection and listening to grow your business and career “What if the “what if” was a good thing” Intent is so important Finding fulfillment outside of work - taking the pressure of your career or relationship to bring you happiness Balancing self-development with doing the work     Announcements: New date: January 12th Boston Frank & Whit Event Get tickets: https://franklinandwhitman.com/products/yoga-for-the-pups-boston-1   Get the Lightroom Presets: buy here: https://gumroad.com/l/init4thelongrun-presets   Connect with Sam On instagram: https://www.instagram.com/samvanderwielen/ On her website: https://samvanderwielen.com/   Connect with Me On instagram: instagram.com/init4thelongrunblog On the blog: http://init4thelongrun.com   Join the Joy Squad Joy Squad Private Facebook Group https://www.facebook.com/groups/thejoysquad/ Chasing Joy Podcast Instagram https://www.instagram.com/chasingjoypodcast/
