    Decoupling My Identity From Work And Money with Danielle Cadhit

    This transformational tale is a fairy tale for modern times—how the young successful consultant found her way back to her love of life. After being successful as a corporate consultant to big pharma, Danielle Cadhit experienced burnout and went on a sabbatical where she prioritized her gut experience and her playful side.  She ultimately reinvented herself in a way that honors her playfulness, and creativity as much as her work savvy and innovation. She is no longer defined by her money or her job.  This tale inspires all of us to heed the signs of deep discontent and not be lured by external success; instead, to find another way to live, even if it means leaving something you're good at.

    I Could Have Been A VP But I Had To Dance with Sandi Scheuber

    Sandi Scheuber has lived parallel lives, one as a systems engineer for a large organization and the other as a dancer and choreographer.  She has experienced times of great courage putting dance first along with many years of dance being after hours only.     Here she shares with Julie the value of purposefully not advancing up the ladder in her life as an engineer in order to make real time for her dancing life.   This is not a story of leaving everything behind to follow one's passions.
