What happens when your body starts telling you the truth before your career does?

In this deeply honest and grounding conversation, Christine Perfetti sits down with Roberta Dombrowski, a coach, meditation teacher, and former VP of UX Research, to talk about reinvention, intuition, motherhood, and the courage it takes to leave behind a version of success that no longer fits.

Roberta shares her own journey from senior leadership in tech to coaching women through identity shifts, including the painful, nonlinear middle: layoffs, self-doubt, postpartum depression, and the temptation to return to what once felt safe.

Christine and Roberta explore:

• Why so many high-achieving women hit a wake-up call in mid-career
• How listening to your nervous system can change everything
• The myth of “blowing up your career” to reinvent
• Why motherhood and caregiving complicate (but also clarify) career transitions
• How to move away from “shoulds” and toward what’s actually aligned
• What to do when fear, uncertainty, and grief show up along the way

This episode is for women who look capable on the outside but feel misaligned on the inside and are ready to slow down, tune in, and take the next right step. Episode Notes: Listen to Roberta's podcast, In Her Words Roberta's company, Learn Mindfully
