You did everything right. You built the career, earned the title, took the speaking slot, and finally had the baby. From the outside, you reached the pinnacle. From the inside, something is empty, and you can’t name it.
In this episode, I sit down with Rachel Spekman, founder of Made for More Coaching, a licensed therapist, and a former senior director in tech startups. Rachel spent a decade in entrepreneurship and tech, walked through a three-year fertility journey, and came back from her first parental leave to a realization she didn’t expect: the career she had built no longer fit. She tells the story of the international flight, the Disney movie, and the cry that started the pivot — and then she shares the practical, non-impulsive way she now helps other high performers redesign their careers without blowing up their lives.
What you’ll take from this conversation:
If you’ve ever looked successful on paper and felt empty inside, if you’ve ever wondered whether you’re allowed to want something different, if you’ve ever felt stuck and didn’t know how to start moving, this conversation is for you.
