A Life Worth Working – Finding Purpose & Overcoming Setbacks

As a middle school teacher, mom of two young adults finding their paths in life, and a middle aged woman finding her own way after several bumps and turns in my own career, I am utterly hooked on this podcast! Michelle & Dana have discovered the most fascinating people to interview and learn from. There is so much wisdom to be found in the life stories and reflections of people finding success and meaning in their careers. These people come from all different backgrounds and they’ve all experienced failures and changes in their life’s direction. They have learned how to learn, grow, and persevere, something we all should aspire to do. I love learning with Michelle & Dana and being able to reflect more wisely on my own life journey.

I am hooked! Dana and Michelle are both down to earth and have great sense of humors. Their guests have been so interesting and I can’t wait for each episode to come out. A favorite is Scarlett Lewis…such an uplifting episode and her positivity and desire to make a difference is contagious.

Full disclosure, I was able to listen to a preview of multiple episodes of this new podcast, and I can say, it’s very much worth your time and consideration. We spend so many hours of our day at work, and it’s a huge part of our lives to make those hours feel meaningful. Michelle and Dana offer a little humor, a lot if diverse and intriguing guests, and a joy and hope that many of us desperately need in our search for, as they call it, “the soul of work.” I’ve been encouraged so far by what I’ve heard and even empowered to think about my work in a new light, not to be daunted by the idea of possibly stretching my comfort zone and making a change! Give it a listen.

Great narrative lessons perfect for work life and a career landscape that has been rapidly evolving!
