Self-Worth, the Human Experience and UNBLOCKED Courage: Finding Clarity in Career Paths and Career Pivots

In this deeply personal and powerful episode, we sit down with our long-time friend and leadership coach, Natalie Dumond. Natalie is a certified Dare to Lead facilitator, speaker, and the creator of The Worthy Project, a transformational coaching program for women.Natalie shares how she walked away from a successful HR career to follow a calling she couldn’t ignore. A calling filled with courage, vulnerability, and a whole lot of uncertainty. We talk about what it really takes to leave the "safe" path, how to overcome the voice in your head that keeps you stuck, and why naming your shame is the first step in reclaiming your worth.In this conversation, Natalie shares:What was behind her leap from corporate to coaching (and how a glowing door helped her decide)How she got quoted in Brené Brown’s Dare to Lead and what it taught herWhat the “itty bitty shitty committee” is and how to stop it from running your lifeThe role of self-talk, action, and intuition in getting unblockedA reminder that your personal story has the power to heal others BUT only if you show up and share itThis one’s for anyone who’s staring down a big decision, battling inner doubt, or ready to take the leap toward something that actually lights them up.Every other Thursday, we talk to people who got UNBLOCKED. You'll hear stories about finding clarity, career paths, career pivots and living with intention. Our guests tell us how they realized something had to change, made bold moves, and built lives that feel more aligned, more alive, and more intentional. We’ll share some of our own stories, too, because we’re right here, figuring it out like everyone else.Connect with NatalieNatalie Dumond's WebsiteThe Worthy ProjectDare to Lead by Brené BrownNatalie Dumond on LinkedInWe’d love to connect with you.
