If you're feeling stuck in a career that no longer fits, but the idea of change feels scary or overwhelming, this episode is for you.
Today’s guest, Meredith Baker, has lived many lives. She’s a Harvard and Oxford graduate, a former international journalist, founder of an alcoholic beverage company and now a certified leadership coach and creator of the Powerful Stuff podcast. Meredith helps high-achievers tune out the noise, break up with perfectionism, and build a life that actually feels like their own.
