Within a few years she had offices across the globe, the New York Times declared her a Breakout Star, Forbes took notice, she made history as the first Australian jewellery designer to appear on QVC.And then, after 15 years and at the height of her success, she closed it all down.What Samantha did next - and why - is the real story. Letting go of something you've built your entire identity around is one of the hardest and most honest things a person can do, and yet it has given Samantha a clarity and a purpose that feels even bigger than what came before. She is now a bestselling author and everything she does is in service of the same thing - helping women build creative careers from true alignment.In this conversation, we talk about what happens when the thing you built becomes the thing you need to leave behind and what it takes to trust yourself enough to do it.Find Samantha at samanthawills.com | @samanthawillsinstitute | @samanthawills Of Gold and Dust available at all good bookstores Hosted on Acast.
