About This Episode

What if the clarity you're desperately seeking only comes after you take the leap? In this deeply personal episode, Lisa Tarkington reflects on seven years of podcast evolution while unpacking the complex emotions surrounding change and transition. 

Lisa identifies the subtle signs your professional life might be calling for transformation: dreading tasks that once energized you, feeling persistent heaviness, or catching yourself daydreaming about different paths. She also explores personal indicators like feeling drained in environments that used to inspire you, no longer relating to the same people, or experiencing physical manifestations of stress that won't subside.

The heart of this episode addresses why change feels so terrifying despite knowing it's necessary. Lisa unpacks how fear of disappointing others, fear of failure, and the comfort of familiarity keep us trapped in situations we've outgrown. She vulnerably shares her own "what if" stories that once held her back, revealing the powerful truth that "clarity often comes after the leap, not before it."

You will walk away with a practical framework for embracing change: listen to your internal cues, name your fears without letting them control you, and take small, aligned actions toward your evolving vision. Most importantly, you'll be reminded that you're allowed to outgrow things, evolve, and pivot—but first, you must give yourself permission.
