Many women grow up believing their careers should follow a clear and stable path. But what happens when that path no longer feels aligned?
In this episode, Lindsay is joined by Laure Goubau to explore how values, purpose, and thoughtful risk-taking shape a more authentic and fulfilling life. Through her experience building Gloria and navigating her own career decisions, Laure shares a perspective on purpose not as a single defining moment, but as something that evolves over time.
This conversation offers a grounded look at the tension between stability and fulfillment, and what it means to make decisions that reflect who you are becoming — not just what is expected.
