Change. It’s something we’ve all experienced in the past few years.
Today’s conversation with Jessica Christin explores what change can look like along the career journey. Like many of us, Jessica had a story about what it meant to be successful and how to get there.
Her story was that she had to start her own business as a health consultant and be an entrepreneur to create freedom and an abundant lifestyle. Well, she quickly found that her story around success actually led to stress, debt, and constraint.
NOT what she was looking for.
In this episode Jessica shares what has actually created freedom and choice in her life. She’s changed that story around success. It’s okay for yours to change too.

When I say that today's guest is a rocket scientist, you probably have a stereotypical character that pops into your mind. Kelsey is super passionate about outer space, but that’s where the similarities end with what you envision. She’s charming, charismatic, and makes you want to try harder on those 8th grade math problems.
Our interview takes us inside of the space industry to understand the role that NASA plays in orchestrating space missions with the help of their many contractors. Kelsey shares the education and training that prepared her for her role, as well as the skill that make her truly successful. She also unpacks the well known phrase "It's not rocket science." Don't miss this episode.
You'll likely feel a little smarter after.

Everyone has a birthday ritual whether they know it or not. Some make it a big production that goes on all month. Some prefer to ignore it and treat it like just another day.
Over the past few years, I have developed a birthday ritual that I genuinely look forward to. It’s my chance to look back and reflect on the year before I make my goals for the year to come.
Since my birthday is this week, I figured that I would talk about the ritual that only those closest to me know about. And I also share a few lessons that I learned this year.
Cheers to being another year older! Even here, there’s so much to be grateful for.
