What happens when you build a successful career and realize it was never really yours?
In this solo episode, Limor Bergman Gross shares her personal story of spending 20+ years in tech leadership, doing well on paper, but never feeling truly fulfilled. She chose computer science because it was safe and practical, not because it was her passion. And she climbed the ladder vertically without ever considering that the thing she actually cared about, people, customers, the business, might have pointed her in a different direction.
This is a companion to her conversation with Gabriela Embon about why achievement without fulfillment is the trap most high-achieving women don’t see coming.
