In this episode:
A slightly different episode for you this time! My fabulous friend and podcast strategist and producer, Shelley Röstlund, interviews me about what drove mine and my late husband’s own huge career and life change.
Back in 2012, together, we made the decision to throw everything up in the air and totally reinvent what our work and personal lives looked like.
It saw us leave a central London lifestyle for a home in the Welsh mountains, and big careers we’d invested years in for new jobs in completely new fields.
Several people thought we were mad and quite a few thought we were making a huge mistake, but 12 years later, I’m sharing the story, warts and all, about what happened, how we made the transition, and what it did for us.
Shelley helps me unpick our story. I hope it gives you some inspiration if you’ve been feeling less than enthused about where life and work sits for you right now.
