There was a season in my career where I was crystal clear on two things: what I wanted and what I absolutely did not.

In this episode, I reflect on my journey through financial services, why I never chased the corner office, and how learning to define success for myself has changed the way I make career decisions and coach others today.

After spending more than 15 years in talent acquisition, I’ve seen how often professionals feel pressured to pursue titles, visibility, or leadership paths that don’t actually fit who they are or the season they’re in. This conversation is about alignment, impact, and giving yourself permission to choose differently without guilt or explanation.

If you’ve ever felt like your career should look a certain way but something about that path feels off, this episode is an invitation to pause and rethink what success really means for you.
