E282｜Why your career crisis might be your greatest gift with The Wobbly Middle's Susannah de Jager and Patsy Day

What happens when your carefully built career suddenly... crumbles?

For Susannah De Jager, who was a hedge fund CEO at 32, it was losing her biggest client at work and realising her role was untenable while watching one of her closest friends die of cancer that upended everything. 

For Patsy Day, it was crashing her husband’s car after months of bone-crushing burnout that saw her hit the pause button.

But after resetting the course of their lives, Susannah and Patsy are now collaborating on a podcast designed for those of us who are trying to navigate a path through the wobbly middle of our careers.
