Megan Hellerer Talks “The Gift of Desperation,” Getting “Unstuck” and Directional Living, A Transformational Guide to Fulfillment in Work and Life

Courageous Wellness

Career coach Megan Hellerer has become known as the “Conscious Career Coach,” working with clients including journalists, lawyers, a Nobel Prize-winning scientist, a Fortune 30 Under 30 tech founder, the editor-in-chief of a major lifestyle magazine, and Democratic Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.  

She offers a culmination of over a decade of learning, training, and coaching in her new book, DIRECTIONAL LIVING; A Transformational Guide to Fulfillment in Work and Life, released on September 24th. Hellerer’s unique framework comes from her innovative premise that a fulfilling, purpose-filled career, and life are built by cultivating your inner sense of direction, not pursuing a fixed destination.  

In DIRECTIONAL LIVING, Hellerer presents a new way of thinking about our lives, one that turns away from the voices telling us what a good life “should” look like, and instead relies on cultivating our own inner navigation. Through Hellerer’s revolutionary plan, we can get unstuck in our careers or even transform them, move from misery to meaning, and find the work we are meant to be doing in the world.
