Blaze a new trail in your career!

This is exactly what my guest on this episode did - her story featuring in the Wall Street Journal, Fox News, ABC, NBC and more.

Sara McElroy is a former hustle culture devotee, ex-chief marketing officer, the Wall Street Journal’s poster girl for pandemic career burnout, and a two-time member of the Great Resignation: class of 2021 and 2022.

Following a stress-induced shingles diagnosis in early 2021, Sara decided to hit the reset button on her life; she quit her hard-won CMO job and trekked to Peru's Sacred Valley to reset her frayed nervous system.

When she returned, she relocated from the buzzy metropolis of Atlanta to the beach in South Florida for a new job and a fresh start. But she once again encountered deeply ingrained cultural issues in her new role, and ultimately, she walked away again.

Finding herself in the company of millions of other women who also set unfulfilling jobs ablaze during the Great Resignation, she returned to her journalism roots and began to explore the stories, breaking points, and defining moments that led women to seek greater opportunity mid-pandemic. These conversations became the genesis of Raze to Rise – an organization created to amplify women’s voices from the Great Resignation and inspire others to blaze new trails in their own careers

In this episode, Sara and I talk about:

• Taking off the blinders and rethinking the role of work in your life.
• Supporting others in the career journey a few steps behind us.
• The shift we’re seeing in our career energy.
• Listening to the message our bodies are telling us.
• The entrepreneur journey Vs that of the corporate leader.

And so much more!
