Fun fact: I didn’t apply to medical school because I flunked an Organic Chemistry lab in my junior year. While that isn’t the entire story, it was the last straw.
For years, I felt like a failure for not becoming a doctor. Eventually, I realized it didn’t matter to anyone else but me, and my “failure” was a stepping stone to my success.
When I pivoted to a career in television, I promised myself that I wouldn’t give up when the going got tough. I worked hard for decades, put in long hours, and dealt with volatile bosses and big egos in a highly competitive field.
Because of that hard work, I could retire early and pursue a second career as a life coach.
Coaching has allowed me to utilize my analytical mind, love of psychology, and years of experience in corporate America to do what I originally wanted to do…
