概要
What happens when the life you planned no longer exists?
In the first episode of Layered Lives, I’m joined by Sarah Polan, a technology leader, mother of two, and an American living in Amsterdam. Her life has taken unexpected turns across countries, careers, and identities.
From starting as an opera singer to navigating life as an undocumented immigrant, Sarah shares what it really means to rebuild, not just your career, but your sense of self.
This is a conversation about being brave, not perfect, and the quiet strength it takes to keep starting again.
