What advice would you give to someone who is feeling stuck or unsure about their career path?

First, give yourself grace. Everybody feels stuck or unsure at some point. Second, I would say start to redefine what success looks like for you right now. It changes constantly. And often we're trying to go with a version of success that is outdated. Like we're trying to live in chapter eight as if it's still chapter one.

And so I think it's redefining what does this look like and mean to me right now and craft around that. And sometimes when we're stuck, it's because we need to redefine and recalibrate.

What is a lesson that you wish that you'd learned earlier in your life?

To really listen to your intuition. I think sometimes our intuition screams at us and we do, what we should, what we think we should. And a lot of us are ruled by shoulds, right? And I call it, we should all over ourselves. And I think there's this idea of really tuning into your intuition because I feel like when you really tune in, it's always right and really check in with that.

What negative experience in your life are you most happy happened to you?

When my very serious high school boyfriend cheated on me. It allowed me to open myself up to what a, a real beautiful loving relationship would look like, and I have that in my marriage.

What is your definition of success, and has it changed over time?

I think my definition of success now is still has a lot to do with achievement. I think that's always going to be ingrained in who I am, but I think the infusion of joy is a huge part of it now, that feeling joyful and fulfilled and community.

And success, I think, is a really key part that has shifted over time. And success also means to me how I'm showing up for my kids just as much as how I'm showing up for my clients. And that's a part where I've recalibrated success in my home life and at me as a human, not just me at work.

What's one thing everybody listening to this episode should go do today?

I think what everybody should start today is we didn't, we've never talked about this, but flipping from the golden rule to the platinum rule, golden rule is treat others the way we wish to be treated.

Platinum rule treat others the way they wish to be treated. And I think what everybody can start doing today is figuring out somebody you care about platinum, which means. Asking them questions to find out how they want to be treated. How do you want to feel valued? How can I best support you? How can I best give you feedback in a way that lands for you?

What does help look like to you? What does happiness feel like to you? Just starting to ask these questions of people you love. So you can be more meaningful in that relationship.

The Infinity Gauntlet gives the holder the ability to snap their fingers and make anything their mind can imagine into reality. Here's the catch though: it generally costs the wearer who snaps their fingers their lives. I have this gauntlet, and I'm offering it to you. What would you want to happen?

Yes. I guess I would put it on and I would cure cancer. All cancers. All cancers.
