What do you do when life and business hit the fan and everything that could go wrong does? We’ve all been there—the messy rock bottom that no one ever wants to talk about, but we do. Let’s face it, this is the raw stuff you never see online.
Together with Alex Vailas, SVP of Brand Marketing for DYPER™, we dive into how Alex used intuitive decision-making through divorce, career shifts, and choosing to work at a startup over Google, which led her to finding true peace and fulfillment on her terms. Alex, with her unique blend of personal experience and entrepreneurial insight, shares invaluable lessons on trusting your intuition during life's toughest moments.
This episode covers an array of topics, from the emotional turmoil of a difficult divorce to the bold career shifts that led Alex to pass on a job at Google in favor of joining a startup. Alex takes us under her wing as we explore practical techniques for intuitive decision-making, the surprising breakthroughs that can come from following your gut, and the resilience required to bounce back stronger. We delve into the nuances of making life-changing decisions, the art of aligning your career with your inner guidance, and the fulfillment that comes from choosing the path less traveled.
