Ep 44 Transitioning from Corporate to Creative: A Journey to Becoming an Author a Coach and Healer
This episode is sponsored by InsideTracker.
On this episode, Tamara Schenk shares her BF (before fulfillment) to AF (after fulfillment) story. Her story highlights three key affirmations that created transformation in her midlife career transition journey.
- She realized where she was experiencing fulfillment and wanted more of that.
- Her understanding of what was a waste of her time, skills, and energy.
- How both of these realizations fit together like a puzzle to create transformation in her career transition journey.
Tamara came to a point of transformation when not one but two cats in her life inspired her to write a book she titled Soul Cats. And, now she helps people and cats overcome trauma.
This episode is not about cats, although Tamara explains how her cats influenced her midlife career transition. It's about transformation.
My challenge to you is to embrace the takeaway from Tamara's story which I reveal on the other side of the interview with Tamara.

Ep 46 From Exhaustion to Fulfillment: A Speaker’s Painful Journey of Self-Actualization on the Water
Andrew Davis is a best-selling author and keynote speaker.
On this episode, Andrew (Drew) shares how he finds fulfillment and joy in boating. Drew's BF (before fulfillment) to AF (after fulfillment) story is about his realization that he knows where to go to experience a moment of 100% fulfillment.
In this episode, I came away with three key realizations of my own.
- It's possible to have moments of 100% fulfillment.
- I don't have a boat, but I have "a boat" of my own for midlife fulfillment.
- Everyone should strive to have "a boat" of their own for midlife fulfillment.
Today, Drew is a globe-trotting keynote speaker and is at the top of my list of favorite keynote speakers. Drew says that everywhere he travels, he makes a point of getting on the water if it's at all possible.
After my interview with Drew, I share "my boat" and challenge you to think about "your boat" where you can experience a moment of 100% fulfillment.
Tune in to hear Drew Davis' BF to AF story and discover what "your boat" is where you have moments of 100% fulfillment.
