What happens when the career and life you’ve worked hard to build no longer feel completely aligned with the person you’re becoming?

That doesn’t necessarily mean you made the wrong choices.

And it doesn’t mean you need to burn everything down and start over.

Sometimes it simply means it’s time to examine the story you’ve been telling about who you are, what success should look like, and what you’re allowed to want next.

In this episode, Shannon sits down with Laura Nespoli, founder of Mesh and Movement, strategic storyteller, and author of Threads of Me and You.

After more than 15 years helping organizations, from Fortune 500 companies to local nonprofits, communicate their stories, Laura found herself beginning a personal exploration of her own.

That journey led her to follow what she calls the loose threads, unravel old meaning, and intentionally reweave a life and career that felt more aligned with her purpose.

In this conversation, you’ll discover:
✔ Why a life that looks successful from the outside can stop feeling aligned on the inside
✔ How to recognize the “loose threads” that may be trying to tell you something
✔ Why purpose can become a North Star for career and life decisions
✔ How clarity around your story can create confidence
✔ Why owning your story can make thought leadership and visibility feel less uncomfortable
✔ How storytelling can strengthen trust, belonging, and connection on teams
✔ What Laura calls the vulnerability loop
✔ Why someone else sharing their story can give us permission to share ours
✔ How storytelling can help women realize they aren’t as alone as they thought
✔ Why changing your story doesn’t require throwing away everything you’ve already built
✔ How to begin exploring who you’re becoming with curiosity instead of pressure

As Laura reminds us, you don’t have to unravel everything to begin weaving the life you’re intended to have.
