If Anything's Possible, What Would You Love? Christine Farrugia on Career, Money, and Enoughness

Today we are joined by Christine Farrugia, an executive coach who spent 20 years climbing the corporate ladder before starting her own coaching practice. Christine opens up about growing up with financial instability and how that shaped her early relationship with money, leading her to prioritize safety above all else in her career choices. We explore how becoming an entrepreneur fundamentally shifted her relationship with money and conventional definitions of success. And we dive into her coaching work around helping clients define what "enough" really means for them, moving past society's endless pursuit of more.
