What becomes possible when you stop trying to prove yourself and start building something that reflects who you truly are?

In this episode, Dr. Caroline Sangal talks with Dr. Jeff Kiplinger, a PhD chemist, bestselling author, and entrepreneur whose career has spanned scientific leadership, business ownership, and incredible growth through real-world experience.

Jeff shares how he navigated the unexpected loss of his job at Pfizer, a role he once believed would define his entire career, and how that turning point led him to build something of his own. He founded Averica Discovery, grew it through the 2008 recession, sold it successfully, and now helps other science-driven companies grow through smart sales and communication strategies. His story is shaped by resilience, reinvention, and a willingness to figure things out as he went.

Inside this conversation:

• How Jeff discovered his love for science and earned a PhD
• The emotional impact of losing a job and the ripple effects that followed
• What scientists often miss when stepping into entrepreneurship
• How he learned to lead, sell, and communicate in a whole new way
• What success and fulfillment look like now, from rewilding land to singing bluegrass

If you're navigating a career shift or considering a leap into something new, Jeff’s story will help you feel seen, grounded, and inspired to keep moving forward.

Today we’re diving deep into what it means to reach for control in your life and career and how often that’s actually holding you back from what you truly want.

We explore why questioning your path might be more normal, and more important, than you’ve ever given yourself credit for. We’ll also look at how to begin listening to that quiet voice inside you, your gut, intuition, or maybe God that’s been gently nudging you all along.

In this episode, you’ll hear about:

• The illusion of control and why it’s so tempting to chase
• How reacting vs. responding changes everything about how you navigate uncertainty
• Why feeling restless or questioning your career is often a sign you’re exactly on time for your next evolution
• The predictable turning points when most people start asking if they’re still on the right path
• How to start noticing what your body and soul are telling you — so you can live more aligned, more alive, and more fully yourself

If you’re feeling an ache for something more, this episode is here to help you slow down, pay attention, and take the next small step toward what truly matters to you.
