Purpose, Loss, and UNBLOCKED Reinvention: Finding Clarity in Career Paths and Career Pivots

In this episode of the UNBLOCK Yourself Podcast, we continue sharing the stories behind your hosts, Greg and Whitney.

Today, Greg shares his journey — from building a life that looked perfect on the outside, to navigating unimaginable loss, and ultimately stepping fully into a life of intention and purpose.

Through the highs of career success and the depths of personal tragedy, Greg found himself faced with a choice: stay in survival mode, or intentionally create a new chapter.

This conversation is about resilience, realignment, and choosing to live fully — not just when life forces your hand, but because you decide to.

In this conversation, Greg shares:

• Growing up with strong family roots and high expectations
• Building a career and family on autopilot without questioning the cost
• Navigating the loss of his wife during the COVID-19 pandemic
• Learning how to rebuild life with intention, clarity, and heart
• Why you do not have to wait for tragedy to live the life you want

Greg’s story is at the heart of why we’re doing this work today.

We are so grateful you are here.

We’d love to connect with you. Here’s where to find us:

Every other Thursday, we talk to people who got UNBLOCKED. You'll hear stories about finding clarity, career paths, career pivots and living with intention. Our guests tell us how they realized something had to change, made bold moves, and built lives that feel more aligned, more alive, and more intentional. We’ll share some of our own stories too, because we’re right here, figuring it out like everyone else.
