Ok guys, this is an episode I could not wait to share with you - especially at the start of the year, when so many of us are making big (and small) career resolutions.

This conversation is all about how to figure out what you REALLY want to do - when you’ve done everything “right”, but still feel that something is missing.

I’m joined by two brilliant executive coaches who both had high-flying careers in finance before stepping into their coaching journeys:

- Tatiana Poliakova - Partner at Adaptaa, former Managing Director at Nomura, and author of the upcoming book "Intensity as a Superpower"

- Daria Ibrulj - Founder of FireUp Coaching, and former Investment Banker and private equity investor

In this episode, Tatiana and Daria openly share:

- What it’s like to achieve everything you set out to achieve - yet slowly realise you’ve lost your spark (and we go deep into why this happens)

- The messy, honest journey of figuring out who you are beyond the fancy title you once dreamed of - plus practical tools you can actually use

- The biggest challenges of stepping off a prestigious, “successful” path: identity and financial fear

Why do I love this conversation so much?

Because it shows - so clearly - how our societal narrative of “just be successful and you’ll be happy” is a massive oversimplification of human fulfilment.

And this episode gives you a glimpse of how much more there really is.
