Right now, I’m preparing to take the stage at Take the Lead Charlotte, a powerful event designed for women leaders navigating growth in their careers and personal lives. As I’ve been refining my message, I kept thinking about this conversation I had as a guest on the Badass Women in Business podcast—so I knew I had to share it with you.

In this episode, we dive into a question so many of us wrestle with: How do you know when it’s time for a change? I share my own story of walking away from a career in TV news, how I resisted the process of reinvention, and what finally helped me trust myself enough to move forward. Whether you're facing a big career decision or just feeling like something is shifting inside of you, this episode will help you start paying attention to the signs and following what truly lights you up.

If you’re in the Charlotte area, I’d love for you to join me at Take the Lead Charlotte on April 4, 2025. I’ll be sharing how one shift in perspective can give you the clarity and courage to make bold, aligned decisions. Use my code AMizzellVIP for a special ticket rate!

In This Episode, We Talk About:

✔ The moment I realized I was forcing myself down a path that no longer fit
✔ Why we ignore our inner voice (and how to start trusting it)
✔ How I found my next steps without a perfect plan
✔ The power of paying attention to what expands vs. drains you
✔ Why clarity doesn’t come from overthinking—it comes from noticing

What does it really mean to find your voice—and why does it feel so hard sometimes?

In this episode, I’m joined by functional health coach and author Marnie Dachis Marmet. Marnie shares how writing her memoir, My Song Unleashed, became an unexpected journey of self-discovery, helping her break free from expectations and embrace authenticity.

We talk about how movement, mindset, and writing can help you reconnect with yourself, why it feels so hard to share vulnerable parts of your story, and what happens when living more like you starts to shift your relationships.

If you’ve ever felt stuck, silenced, or like you’re searching for what’s next, this conversation will inspire you to take the next step toward a life that feels more like you.
