What would you do if you built a career most people envy, but deep down, you knew it wasn’t the life you truly wanted? In this episode, I talk with Dr. Gail Saltz about the courage it takes to make a massive life and career pivot, even when it means facing judgment, stigma, and fear head on. Dr. Saltz shares how to navigate criticism from colleagues, let go of shame, and build a career that aligns with your passion and purpose. We also dive into how to reframe “disabilities” as unique strengths, move past fear, and own the truth of who you are. Give yourself the courage to unlock your unique gifts, reframe challenges, and use your voice to make a bigger impact.

Mindset SHIFTS that help you move past fear and self-doubt. Tips to recognize your UNIQUE STRENGTHS. How to BUILD a life and career that’s aligned with who you really are.
