The Conversation: Reinvention and Rebuilding | Shea Petaja, Executive Coach

On this episode of Currently: The Conversation, Christal sits down with strategic advisor and executive coach Shea Petaja to talk about clarity, reinvention, and rebuilding trust in yourself after everything unravels. The Conversation is brought to you by TVC Cherry Capital Airport — Your Northern Michigan Connection. Shea shares how a season of personal and professional collapse — followed by an unexpected moment in a comedy club — shifted her perspective on pain, leadership, and identity. Together, they unpack why high-achievers cling to what isn't working, how to tell the difference between intuition and anxiety, and what people really mean when they say, "I need clarity." If you're successful on paper but feeling stuck internally, this conversation is for you. The Conversation is a Compass Local podcast produced by Pancake Boy Productions.
