Breakfast Special:  Leaving a “Safe” Career to Build Something of Her Own

For many people, career success is often measured by progression – climbing the ladder, taking on bigger roles, and building stability over time. But what happens when that path starts to feel disconnected from the work you actually set out to do? The Breakfast Show speaks to Theresa Pong, Founder & Counselling Director, The Relationship Room, about her decision to step away from a stable leadership role to start her own counselling practice. She shares what that turning point looked like, how she navigated the financial and emotional uncertainty that followed, and what she discovered about purpose, risk and growth along the way and what her journey might mean for others rethinking their own careers.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
