#354: How to Find Your Purpose Without Becoming Someone New in a Midlife Transition, with Eva M. Kennedy

Has a career or life transition left you wondering who you are without the titles and roles you've carried for years? When a job, a role, or a long chapter of life ends, it's natural to assume the answer is to become someone new. Empowerment speaker and coach Eva M. Kennedy offers a different way forward. After decades in corporate life and a health crisis that changed everything, Eva found that her next chapter began when she reconnected with the woman who had been there all along.
