Heather is joined by fellow author and career strategist Mandy Tang for a candid conversation about grieving the life you thought you'd have—and finding meaning in the one unfolding before you. They explore career disappointment, identity shifts, unmet expectations, fertility journeys, and the quiet grief that can accompany life transitions. If you've ever questioned your path, struggled with burnout, wondered whether you're behind in life, or felt disconnected from the future you once imagined, this episode offers a thoughtful perspective on resilience, reinvention, and how the body often reveals change before the mind fully understands it.
