Listen Later

This week, we’re throwing it back to one of our favorite episodes from last year. 


Erica Williams Simon is a writer, host, and the CEO of Sage House media. Her new book reveals how she re-wrote her life story and shares how you can do the same. She walked us through how she makes tough decisions, starting with how she quit a perfect-on-paper job and changed her life.  


In this episode, Erica shares: 

  • What growing up in a church community taught her 
  • How she made the decision to quit 
  • How to navigate the financial burden of leaving a job 
  • How to craft and tell your career story 
  • How to learn from an unfulfilling job
