What would make two sisters walk away from dream jobs in Hollywood — working on Oscar-winning films, blockbuster franchises like Harry Potter and The Matrix, and high-profile campaigns — to start over from scratch?
For Nancy and Amy Harrington, co-founders of The Passionistas Project, the answer was simple but life-changing: purpose over fame.
In this empowering episode of the Starter Girlz Podcast, host Jennifer Loehding speaks with the Harrington sisters about their remarkable journey from Hollywood insiders to leaders in women’s empowerment.
What you’ll learn:
✅ Why two sisters left successful Hollywood careers for purpose-driven work
✅ How to redefine success when prestige and fame no longer fulfil you
✅ The power of sisterhood, storytelling, and amplifying women’s voices
✅ Insights into entrepreneurship after leaving a stable career
✅ How resilience fuels impact and long-term fulfilment
This episode is more than a story about leaving Hollywood. It’s a conversation about choosing authenticity, building community, and stepping boldly into your true calling. Whether you’re seeking purpose, courage, or inspiration, this dialogue will remind you that change is possible at any stage.
