    From Burnout To Breakthrough-Designing A Career That Finally Fits

    What happens when doing everything “right” still doesn’t feel quite right? In this episode of The Trailblazer Chronicles, I am joined by Julie Fedele, an unconventional business mentor who left the C-suite behind to create a career aligned with who she truly is and now helps other high-achieving women do the same. From discovering the power of Human Design to building income streams that honor freedom and fulfillment, she shares how redefining success can lead to a life that actually fits. If you’ve ever felt like you’re forcing yourself into a mold you’ve outgrown, this conversation is your permission to pivot. Listen now and take your next bold step! #TrailblazerChronicles #HumanDesign #WomenInLeadership #BoldMovesBigDreams #DesigningACareer Bio Julie Fedele is revolutionizing how women think about career success. As founder of The Portfolio Career Club and author of The Portfolio Careerist newsletter, she's helping thousands of professionals abandon the outdated corporate ladder for portfolio careers that deliver both financial security and personal fulfillment. After 20 years climbing to the C-suite - only to discover she'd climbed the wrong ladder entirely, Julie pioneered a methodology that combines Human Design with strategic business building. Her approach helps accomplished women escape the "success trap" of prestigious roles that drain their energy, instead building multiple income streams aligned with their natural design. Since 2019, Julie has mentored hundreds of women through her sold-out programs, proving that the future of work isn't about choosing between money and meaning. Her clients regularly double their corporate salaries while working fewer hours, creating the flexibility and freedom that traditional careers promise but rarely deliver. Julie's work challenges the fundamental assumption that career success requires sacrifice, showing instead that sustainable prosperity comes from working with - not against- your innate strengths.
