She Tried to Go Back to What Was Safe. It Was Too Late.

When we're facing uncertainty, most of us have a version of 'safe' we go back to. The job. The title. The comfortable path that makes sense to everyone else. In this episode, Colleen Porter shares her reinvention story — after a transition that ended a decades-long career in male-dominated industries, she tried to go back to what she knew. That's when everything changed. It was the confirmation she needed that she'd outgrown the safe path for good. That 'failure' became the launch pad she needed to finally give herself permission to fully own her next chapter — and move forward on her  terms. If you've ever talked yourself back into something that stopped fitting — this one is for you. If this episode resonates, leave us a 5-star rating and written review telling us what landed.
