EPISODE 72: Just Ask The Trees

The podcast explores themes of identity, societal expectations, and personal transformation through a conversation with a guest who reflects on her experiences in the high-pressure world of private equity finance. The guest details how she transitioned from a manic, work-centric lifestyle, characterized by long hours and global travel, to a more present and reflective existence following a cancer diagnosis. This journey involved questioning her career-driven identity, embracing practices like talking to trees to slow down, and re-evaluating her relationship with money. She shares insights into the finance industry's darker sides, including its contribution to societal inequality, and expresses a desire to guide younger women in navigating the industry without sacrificing their well-being.
