When you leap into your new thing, don’t leave your decades of experience and hard-won credibility behind! The key is to blend the old and the new, to remix what you did with what you’re doing.
If you’ve been wanting to meet someone who pivots with purpose, you’ll love this chat with friend and colleague Karen Taylor Bass of TaylorMade Media, who left success in the corporate arena for success as an entrepreneur, and now she’s merged those experiences into success as a yoga instructor.
Different realms, different work, but she’s served the same purpose through it all – ensure that people are seen and feel seen by the communities they represent.
Listen in to hear the truth about life/work balance, living authentically, the expiration date on that corporate treadmill, where you’ll find your soul wealth, pivoting with forgiveness, what you gain in your 50s and 60s (besides weight lol), creating success from disappointment, relationships and collaboration, mixing wine and wellness, and how sitting still can get you further and faster than racing forward … and more!“Every situation prepares you for the setup... It’s during those challenges where you really dig in and live the life that you’re supposed to lead.” – Karen Taylor Bass
