Hannah Onstad is a powerhouse businesswoman who answered her calling to write fiction after climbing the corporate ladder. She's also one of the first and brightest students I taught as a psychology professor. We talk about what inspired her to go to graduate school two years ago and get an MFA in Creative Writing even though she's wanted to write since she was a young girl. We discuss what stops us from pursuing our dreams, how to find values-aligned work, and the importance of reclaiming our purpose later in life. Hannah is now publishing impressive ⁠book reviews⁠ and working on a novel while running a successful consulting company. She will be in conversation with Manuel Munoz, author of The Consequences, at Orinda Books in Orinda, CA on October 7th at 3 p.m.
