Exit Interview - Kristi Coulter on Surviving 12 Years at Amazon and Why High Achievers Burn Out

Kristi Coulter is an author, essayist, and former Amazon employee whose writing explores ambition, addiction, relationships, and the complicated realities of building a life that feels authentic. She is the author of Nothing Good Can Come From This and Exit Interview, and has built a career around telling honest, often funny stories about the parts of life we don't always talk about.In our conversation, we explore what it was like working at Amazon, how her corporate career shaped her understanding of success and ambition, and what ultimately pushed her to make a major career change and pursue writing. We also discuss the realities of burnout, knowing when it's time to walk away, the vulnerability of turning your own experiences into stories, and what happens when the life you built no longer feels like the life you want.Whether you're navigating a career change, questioning what success means to you, or simply trying to figure out what comes next, this conversation is a reminder that sometimes the biggest risk is staying on a path that no longer feels like your own.Kristi Coulter's Website Follow Kristi on LinkedInFollow Kristi on InstagramLink to purchase:FYLPxTracee Badway Merch CollaborationFYLPxWRDSMTH Merch Collaboration*suggestion is to size upDownload this episode of For Your Listening Pleasure wherever you get your podcasts!
