In Episode 11 of Success Your Own Way, “Gratitude, Grit, and Growth”, I had the opportunity to share more about my journey – a narrative of reinvention, resilience, and redefining success on my own terms. From my roots in northern Wisconsin and a career that began in chemical engineering, I evolved through entrepreneurship, leadership roles at Microsoft and UnitedHealth Group, and ultimately found my calling in coaching. My story is marked by bold decisions, taking on a variety of roles and challenges —like crawling under machinery in a sweltering factory—and shaped by mentors who offered wisdom from all directions. I reflect candidly on misconceptions about loyalty in corporate life and the importance of self-advocacy, especially for women. Today, I embrace a life of flexibility, purpose, and deep gratitude, encouraging others to align their work with their values and to never underestimate the power of asking for help. My message is clear: authentic success is built through courage, connection, and staying true to yourself.
