About this episode

Megan Hellerer discusses grief, self-honesty, and the concept of directional living with host Katie Dalebout, providing insights on personal reinvention and productivity.

I spoke with my longtime friend, Megan Hellerer, career coach and author of Directional Living. We talk about directional living versus destination living, why clarity comes from action (not thinking), grief, reinvention, productivity, self-honesty, and what happens when you've outgrown a version of yourself but aren't quite sure what's next. Somewhere along the way, Megan ends up coaching me through my own comeback in real time. This one is thoughtful, practical, emotional, and honestly a little therapeutic.
