Having achieved huge success in her stellar career in beauty, she describes how inside she was feeling broken and knew something had to change. From working through significant life events and overcoming health setbacks, Pippa shares some hilarious and heartfelt moments (gold jumpsuit, anyone?) as a reminder that sometimes in our careers, the best is yet to come.  Pippa reminds us that no matter our age of experience, to dream BIG (we call this Bold, Inquisitive & Goalposts can move).  She talks about the life-changing exercise of asking the big 4 questions (we summarise this at the end, but here is the original book: Ikigai Discover Your Purpose and Passion in LifeA reaffirming, funny and feelgood listen for those whom may resonate with the topics of handling health challenges, recently-diagnosed ADHD or a sense of feeling lost in their career. Follow Pippa on her adventures via insta @pippawinner or @pippawinn on LinkedInCurious for more?
