Unlikely Choices by Stacy Mikulik
Do you want to quit your job and do something different or start your own business? You're in the right place! This podcast is going to be a journey in how to do that. Welcome to the Unlikely Choices podcast! I’m your host, Stacy Mikulik, the former lawyer turned jewelry designer. I graduated from top schools and practiced law in big cities, but after a decade in the legal profession, I lost my father to cancer and it forever changed the way I look at the world. It caused me to change my priorities, examine the motivations behind my life choices, and ultimately make the Unlikely Choice to quit my lawyer job and start a jewelry brand. In the years that followed, I built a multi-six-figure business doing something I love, moved to a different part of the country more aligned with my personality, and focused on creating a life that feels more like me. Here on the podcast I’ll share all that I’ve learned since I said “I quit” in 2017 and teach you how to find a similar path, but one that is unique and authentic to you. My hope is that you’ll of course learn a lot, experience shifts in your perspective, and begin feeling like it is very possible to make a big change like quitting your job to do something different or start your own business. Nothing gives me more satisfaction than helping people leave unsatisfying jobs to do work that is more in alignment with their personality, priorities, talents, and dreams. After listening, I hope you feel empowered to make an Unlikely Choice, just like I did when I quit my lawyer job. It just might lead to the best journey you’ve ever been on!
