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.

This conversation is packed with permission slips, mindset shifts, and practical tools for navigating change - whether you’re stuck in a job that doesn’t light you up, hiding behind perfectionism, or wondering if you’re “too late” to pivot.

In this episode, we cover:

✨ The silent pressures that keep us stuck in the “shoulds”
 🧠 How to start listening to your intuition again
 📈 Confidence as compound interest — and how to build it
 🌱 A step-by-step roadmap for moving through your next transition with clarity and confidence

Stick around to the end for a grounding visualization you can do anytime you're feeling stuck or unsure about your next move.

More about Meredith:
Meredith is a Master Certified Life Coach, 500hr meditation, yoga, and breathwork teacher, and the founder of The Upgrade, a group coaching program designed to help women create more meaningful, aligned lives.
