Welcome to a whole new year and another truly impactful episode of The Seismic Shift. We’re starting off 2025 strong, talking with serial healthcare entrepreneur, Chantell Preston, all about how to actually achieve that always-elusive work-life integration. Let’s dive in! 

Chantell has been starting her own companies since she was 27 years-old, and in that time she’s learned a thing or two about what it takes to find fulfillment both at work and at home through building connection with the entirety of your employee—not just their work identity or ability to produce results. During her candid conversation with Michelle, Chantell vulnerably shares her own story of finding a work-life integration that fulfilled her, plus the two also talk females in leadership, how they would define personal success, and their best advice for managing your time and priorities in a way that’s life-giving, not draining. 

Chantell’s is a story that will empower you to get up and make your goals happen! Don’t miss this incredible kickoff to a whole new year on The Seismic Shift!
