Unlearning Success: Shifting Careers, Shifting Selves


Listen Later

What happens when the career or calling you thought was “it”… no longer fits?

In this episode, I share my own pivots — from nearly two decades as a military spouse, to motherhood, to coaching, to retail, and now exploring corporate paths. Along the way, I’ve had to redefine what “success” really means.

We’ll talk about:
 • Why careers (like names) can become masks we hide behind.
 • How hustle culture and “shoulds” push us out of regulation.
 • The nervous system toll of chasing success at all costs.
 • Mantras and practices for loosening your grip on roles that no longer fit.

Success isn’t one ladder anymore — it’s a landscape. Pivoting isn’t failure; it’s listening.
