E41: Arezou Zarafshan - Take Action, Make Choices, and Lead as Women in Tech, Start-Ups, and Founding Companies

 “If I believe in a mission, I don’t stop. I do stop toxicity when I sense it. And then I pick a different path and keep going”; Arezou - mom, entrepreneur, former global executive, an immigrant. Breaking free of a toxic situation that did not serve her. When the toxic situation started to affect her health, she made a huge decision to leave a successful job as an executive.Leaving the job left her unsure of who she was as a person outside of her professional self. For 6 months, she did all kinds of self-studies, Kellog executive professional development etc. to develop her identity outside of the corporate world.The mental load of taking care of EVERYTHING, on top of your career is real.  RELATED EPISODES: Own it like a Boss - Part 3 of the Build your Brave Framework Welcome Help whole-heartedly  RESOURCES Arezou Zarafshan:Call Emmy LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/callemmyapp/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/callemmyappInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/callemmyapp/Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/callemmyapp/_created/Twitter: https://twitter.com/callemmyapp For more information on how you can build your brave:[email protected]://tricksteinbach.com/https://www.linkedin.com/in/nicoletricksteinbach/https://www.facebook.com/NicoleTrickSteinbach Transition music courtesy of Audionautix
