Episode 10: The Power Of Choice: On Stepping Back & Recreating Your Life
Happy 2021! To kick off this brand new year, I’m excited to share an episode with someone who I happened to meet through the internet. A few months ago, I happen to stumble upon Lucy Puttergill’s article on why she left her successful job in finance, and what her plans were moving forward.
Her words of honesty and transparency struck me, I was instantly moved, and I knew she would be a great guest who so many of our listeners can relate too, on various levels. Listen in as Lucy joins me from London, England, to share more about her ‘why’, the choices she has recently made, and what she plans to do with her life moving forward.

– 13:35: What led Lucy to step back, and ask herself the hard questions.
– 18:02: The untalked about coping mechanism of succeeding.
