Tell us what you want to hear on the show!

Have you ever hit a breaking point at work where you just knew—you were done? In this powerful episode #205 of the Second Act Success Career Podcast, host Shannon Russell sits down with leadership coach and HR strategist Lindsay White, who shares the moment she abruptly quit her 20-year corporate career with no plan... and never looked back.

Lindsay opens up about the toxic leadership that pushed her out of her corporate job, the toll it took on her health, and how she turned that career crisis into a successful business through High Voltage Leadership. You’ll hear how she leaned into her experience, built her coaching certification, and launched a podcast and consultancy that helps leaders build better cultures and become the kind of bosses people want to work for.

This candid conversation dives into:

• How to know when it’s time to walk away from your 9-to-5
• Turning HR experience into a purpose-driven business
• Creating a people-first culture in small business
• The emotional side of quitting a job without a backup plan
• Why your second act can be the best one yet

Whether you're thinking about leaving your job, dealing with burnout, or dreaming of building something of your own—this episode will inspire you to take the leap (with or without a plan).
