Share the Chair: Jodi Innerfield

What this episode covers

Taking control and redefining success. Two concepts much easier said than done, but often necessary when we hit a fork in our life journey road. Join us this week in another of our Share the Chair series as CH sits down with friend, former colleague and fellow podcaster, Jodi Innerfield, who shares the transformative journey she’s been on since being laid off earlier in 2025 and of which has found her embracing not only her own entrepreneurial spirit but redefining what it means to be successful. Jodi opens up about how this career fork is a little bit different than those in her past, and how she has embraced the transition from a structured corporate role to carving her own path as an independent consultant fueled by a newfound sense of control and direction.
