From Soul Crushing to SoulCycle: How Steph Made the Leap to Work She Loves
What if you didn’t have to escape your job? What if the place you were your happiest and the place you felt most alive was actually where you worked? Steph had known for almost 9 years that she felt the most alive, and the most like herself, in fitness studios, but she had never allowed herself to believe that she could actually build a career in fitness. Steph had a great career in the Marine Corps, and then with Amazon, but she never felt like she was doing work that was true to her. In this episode, she discusses her realization that she could make a living doing what she loved, and how she took the leap to pick up her life and go after it.
