She candidly opens up about how she has had to work harder to prove herself but also her own challenges around work-life balance and the sacrifices she’s made getting to this level in her career. This is a wide ranging conversation appealing to anyone looking to make a career transition, find purpose and fulfillment in life, and wanting better strategies for choosing the right projects to match both your lifestyle needs and your creative needs.</p><h3>Want to Hear More Episodes Like This One?</h3><p><a href="https://optimizeyourself.me/subscribe/" rel="nofollow"><strong>» Click here to subscribe and never miss another episode</strong></a></p><p> </p><h3><strong>Here&#39;
