🎙️ Welcome back to Not Fully Qualified!
For this episode, Sara sits down with Irina Young, a certified purpose coach who spent 13 years in the corporate world at Google before leaving to build a more aligned path of her own.
Irina helps people reconnect with their authenticity, discover what truly matters to them, and find the courage to pursue work and lives that feel more purposeful.
In this conversation, we talk about the signs that it may be time for a change—like boredom, burnout, and that feeling that there has to be more. Irina shares what led her to leave her corporate career, how she found purpose coaching, and why nervous-system capacity can make such a difference when you are navigating uncertainty or making a major life decision.
