Why do some people find happiness and fulfillment in their work and others don’t? We’ve all heard that finding fulfillment in our work can significantly enhance our overall well-being and life satisfaction.

Sure, it’s true.

But what if the work you do doesn’t align with your greater purpose and meaning? In this episode, Kim and Louise are joined by Doug Barna, a former engineer who realigned his life teach others how to find success in their careers.

They dig deep on why some people thrive and find joy in their professional lives while others struggle, and discuss the dynamics of workplace interactions and cultivating a positive mindset.
