Meredith for Real: the curious introvert

Sarah Vermunt had a public meltdown in a Publix that made her realize the career she was in & the Ph.D. she was pursuing was not at all what she really wanted.
Many can relate but remain stuck in expired jobs because they don’t know what else they would do. Sarah is now a career coach & best-selling author of Careergasm.
In this episode, you’ll hear what to do if you don’t have time for soul searching, why picking a job is like trying to orgasm, how to reverse engineer your next career & how to know if you’ve outgrown your career.
