This week on Resiliency Redefined, Dr. Robyne is joined by executive coach, business advisor, keynote speaker, and podcast host Marissa Teeter for an inspiring conversation about redefining success, making bold moves, and what it really takes to bet on yourself.

Marissa shares her journey from a thriving corporate career in wealth management to launching her own executive coaching firm, reflecting on both the challenges and the rewards that came with such a leap.

Together, they explore what often holds people back—especially women—from taking risks, the importance of building a supportive community, why it matters to give yourself permission to pursue what feels meaningful right now, and the freedom that comes from trusting your future self to handle whatever comes next.

This conversation is packed with practical insights and decision-making strategies for anyone considering a big change or simply longing for more fulfillment in their career and life.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• The importance of defining success on your own terms and why it’s okay for your definition to evolve over different seasons of life
• Why betting on yourself isn’t always easier but is often more rewarding
• What often holds people back from pursuing their dreams
• How to navigate the tension between current joy and future security
• Practical strategies for making bold moves and taking risks with both courage and a plan
• The unique richness of supportive networks and communities
• Why collaboration and generosity create more success than competition
• The value of trusting your future self to figure things out—even when the path feels uncertain
