After I Left shares powerful stories of people who walked away from jobs, relationships, places, or situations that no longer served them and discovered something better on the other side. Hosted by Mikayla Watson, each episode dives into the moments of courage, the challenges of letting go, and the transformations that followed.
Through candid conversations with guests, you’ll hear real-life wins, losses, and lessons you can use in your own journey of change. Whether you’re on the edge of a decision or reflecting on what you’ve already left behind, After I Left will inspire you to embrace your next chapter and live to your full potential!
In this episode of the After I Left Podcast we’re discussing the expectations and goals we had for ourselves going into last year and how that may have changed. I share my experience with not meeting the goals I set for myself, but how many new goals I did achieve and how the year was a success when I looked at it from a different viewpoint.
