Navigating Life with Coach Laura Berman Fortgang

If you’ve ever felt stuck in a career you’re "qualified" for but not "meant" for, this episode is your roadmap.

David Gadarian welcomes Laura Berman Fortgang, a bestselling author and pioneer who helped pave the way for the modern coaching industry. While she is now a frequent guest on Oprah and The Today Show, Laura’s journey began with an 8-year grind as an actress and waitress in New York City.

What you’ll learn in this episode: • How to distinguish your "Yolk" (identity) from your "Shell" (job title). • The reality of the 10-year pivot: Why Laura coached for a decade before her "Eureka" moment. • Why workplace happiness stats are declining and what you can do to reclaim your agency. • Sharp insights on managing a business based on 32 years in the driver's seat.

EPISODE HIGHLIGHT: Don't miss "The Flipped Story Recipe Book" segment at the end, where Laura provides a 30-second instruction on how to step out of your shell and into new possibilities.
