Hey Pivot With Purpose fam! I am so excited to have Camille Cook on the podcast today! Camille is the host of the (Un)Fulfilled podcast, a show that’s all about finding meaning and joy in our daily lives while navigating the raw and real emotions that come with personal growth. Camille's journey has been far from conventional. By day, she navigates the fast-paced world of finance, bringing a unique blend of analytical thinking and heart-centered mindfulness to her work. And when she’s not crunching numbers, she’s guiding others to inner peace and balance as a certified yoga instructor. Camille is the epitome of a modern-day renaissance woman; passionate, purpose-driven, and always on the move. She’s on a mission to help others find fulfillment in their own lives, no matter how messy it gets!
Today, Camille joins us to talk about her personal pivots, the lessons she’s learned along the way, and how she continues to create a life that’s not just about success, but about true fulfillment!
Topics Covered:
(02:18) Camille’s career journey in finance and how she started her podcast as a side hustle.
(07:57) The importance of diversifying your sources of fulfillment beyond your main job.
(14:44) Camille's advice for those feeling stuck or unfulfilled in their current roles.
(21:34) Not taking things personally in the workplace and how most reactions aren’t about you.
(23:08) Responding to feedback well and maintaining compassion for yourself and others.
(28:24) Overcoming the people-pleasing mentality and accepting that not everyone will love you, especially at work.
(30:36) Having good workplace boundaries.
Your fulfillment shouldn’t come from just one source. By embracing our multifaceted interests and letting go of perfection, we can create a more balanced and fulfilling life. Whether you're considering a side hustle or a career pivot, remember that growth often starts with taking that first step into the unknown!
