30. Trusting Your Gut: Letting Go of a Career That No Longer Fits, with Lisa Foydel

from Who Do You Think You Are Talking To Podcast · host Jenny Maxwell

Thinking about quitting your job, but scared of what's next? This episode is your permission slip to trust your gut and pivot toward purpose. This week, I'm talking to Lisa Foydell, a former finance executive who walked away from a six-figure corporate career to raise her kids, and later stepped into the nonprofit world, completely redefining what success looks like. Whether you're facing burnout, stuck in a job that drains you, or wondering if it's too late to change paths, this episode will show you what's possible when you stop ignoring your intuition. In this episode, we explore: How to change careers after motherhood (even with a 12-year gap) The surprising emotional toll of "looking successful" but feeling lost Why trusting your gut is smarter than having a perfect plan The hidden cost of people-pleasing, burnout, and micromanagement What nonprofit work teaches us about empathy, ego, and real leadership Why so many people stay silent when they desperately need help, and how to break the shame spiral How to communicate without guilt, ask for support, and lead with compassion Whether you're navigating a career change, craving a deeper sense of purpose, or learning to put yourself back on the priority list, this conversation will inspire you to stop waiting and start listening to what your gut already knows.
