概要
What if the next level of your leadership doesn’t come from pushing harder—but from pausing on purpose?
In this episode of The Pausecast, I sit down with Melody Olson, former Senior Engineering Director at Google, for a refreshingly honest conversation about leadership, career evolution, and what happens when you stop following the “expected” path.
After a successful, high-profile career at Google, Melody chose to pause—and that decision opened the door to a new chapter defined by curiosity, intentional growth, and smarter risks.
We talk about:
Why pausing can be a strategic move (not a setback)
How smart risks build stronger leaders and teams
The reality of balancing family life with ambitious careers
Why investing in personal growth pays off long-term
Setting boundaries, protecting deep work, and redefining success
Letting go of linear career ladders and embracing a “jungle gym” path
If you’re a leader who’s successful on paper—but sensing there’s more available to you—this conversation will resonate.
Real talk.
Grounded wisdom.
Permission to evolve.

Thanks for tuning in this week—and as always, remember: your pause might be the most powerful move you make.
