What you'll learn from this episode:
Why Ashley left what she thought was going to be her "dream" job as a counter-terrorism professional at the Pentagon to become a career coach and help people similarly redefine their purpose.
Why it's riskier staying on a so-called "safe" career path that makes you miserable than trying to find a better fit.
The meaning behind Ashley's mantra for job hunting: "High intention and low attachment."
How finding time to let our minds wander away from modern distractions (like smartphones) can benefit idea generation and overall mental well-being.
What Ashley's free, 60-second quiz can tell you about your current career path and where you might look to find an alternative should you so desire one.
And so much more!
