[COMEBACKS] How to End Well So You Can Begin Again: Megan Hellerer on Grief, Self-Honesty & Directional Living

This week I spoke with career coach, author of Directional Living, and my longtime friend Megan Hellerer. What started as a conversation about her book turned into a conversation about grief, endings, iteration, and what happens when you've outgrown a version of your life. We talk about directional living versus destination living, why clarity comes through action, the importance of self-honesty, productivity as a form of avoidance, and how to navigate the uncomfortable in-between when you know something needs to change but aren't sure what's next. In the second act of this episode, Megan ends up coaching me through my own transition from Let It Out into COMEBACKS, and we talk about how to let go of a chapter that no longer fits so you can begin again.
