Sometimes life presses pause on the path you thought you were on—and you're left to navigate what comes next. ✨

In this episode, we explore Dr. Susan E. Borrego's chapter "Letting Go of Being Let Go" from the best-selling book Brave Women at Work: Lessons in Letting Go. Sue speaks with grace and strength as she shares the raw truth of being pushed out of a successful leadership role—not for performance, but for politics—revealing the silence and grief that followed, and how she ultimately found her way back to herself. 💫

She opens up about the experience of letting go, rebuilding her sense of self, and choosing to lead with presence and purpose—no matter the circumstance.  Sue's story is a beautiful reminder that our jobs don't define us—and sometimes, what feels like an ending is an invitation to step into something more aligned.

Our conversation ends where all great leadership should begin—rooted in love.

I'm so grateful to call Sue a friend and to share her wisdom, her grace, and her courage with you. 💛
