From Corporate Layoff to Coaching Success: Audrey Dendy-Hightower’s Inspiring Leap EP | 151
In this episode of Life’s Checkmark, I sit down with Audrey Dendy-Hightower, a former Wall Street program manager turned mental health and life coach. After a 35-year corporate career and a life-changing layoff, Audrey shares how she found the courage to pursue her passion for coaching and speaking. We talk about facing fears, rebuilding after divorce, embracing self-care beyond spa days, and stepping into a purpose-driven life. Audrey opens up about her first speaking experiences, her bold leap into hosting her own table at an event, and what it feels like to finally put herself first. If you’ve ever wondered “what’s next?” or doubted your next step, this episode serves up honest advice, encouragement, and the reminder that it’s never too late to go after what you want. Join us for this real conversation about new beginnings and staying true to yourself.
