Today I’m joined by a fellow student from my Harvard days, Susan Lieu – a management consultant turned author, playwright, and performer. She joins us to explore how unhealed intergenerational trauma shapes how we lead, the choices we make in our careers, and our ability to live a life that’s authentic to our values instead of focussed on survival and pleasing our families.
We have a deeply vulnerable, soul-elevating conversation about how hard it is to go against the grain and follow your calling into the life that you were truly created for, even if it upsets people you love.
Susan and I also discuss her critically acclaimed memoir, “The Manicurist’s Daughter,” and the wisdom she’s gained from writing about how her mother’s death during a tummy tuck changed her life and her family forever.
Topics discussed:
Intergenerational trauma, the cost of silence and protecting our families secrets
Overcoming the fear of pivoting careers from corporate to the arts as an A-type high-achieving financially-driven Harvard graduate
How hard it is to find enoughness in your leadership and career journey, and as a parent
How Susan brought more fulfilment into her career by discovering her top 3 values
The role our careers play in our personal growth stories and the unfolding of our soul’s highest purpose
