The Life That Looked Right (Until It Didn’t)
Beth spent years building the life she believed she was supposed to have — marriage, helping build a business, and pushing herself to succeed professionally. After her divorce, she threw herself into work, dating, and proving to herself that she could thrive on her own.
But even high performers can’t control everything. When unexpected layoffs disrupted the path she had worked so hard to stay on, Beth was forced to stop and take a hard look at her life.
In Part 1 of this two-part conversation, Beth shares the story of the life she built, the pressure to keep achieving, and the moment she began asking a question many of us quietly wrestle with: What if the life you worked so hard for isn’t actually the life you want?
