This week’s “How She Finds Purpose” insight comes from Jessica Galica. She says -

"You have the right to want more, and you deserve to go after what you want. Don’t let any one culture, any individual, box you into thinking that, 'Well, this is enough, this is enough for you.' I think if you have that instinct, and you have that gut feeling that there is something more for you, that’s something to be honored and something to listen to."

Jessica Galica is the bestselling author of LEAP: Why It’s Time to Let Go to Get Ahead in Your Career. Before publishing her book, Jessica built a successful 15-year corporate career in tech and management consulting, working with world-renowned companies like Apple, Bain, and Siemens. In 2020, she transitioned to the second chapter of her career, where she now coaches leaders, speaks at corporate events, and hosts the podcast Reclaim Your Career. Jessica lives in Boston with her husband and two children.

Here are 3 reasons why you should listen to this episode:

1. Learn what it means to “redefine success” and why that shift might be key to finding fulfillment in your career.

2. Hear Jessica’s story of letting go of external validation and discovering a career path that felt truly aligned.

3. Gain practical insights on how to honor your gut feeling when it’s telling you that there’s something more out there for you.

This week’s “How She Finds Purpose” insight comes from myself, Dr. Robin. I say:

“If you're afraid to start something new or make a career transition, know that it's okay to start afraid. Do it afraid. Just start. Do something, and it will get you on your way.”

I’m celebrating the 200th episode of Leadership Purpose with Dr. Robin, and kicking off season 5 with a renewed focus on the stories of high-achieving women who’ve made bold career transitions in pursuit of purpose, meaning, and fulfillment. Whether you’re just beginning your career, in the midst of a pivot, or considering a late-career shift, this season is here to encourage and inspire your journey toward work that aligns with who you are.

In this special episode, I reflect on the three biggest lessons I’ve learned over the past 200 episodes. These aren’t just podcasting tips, they’re life lessons for anyone who feels the pull to create a more meaningful career. Here’s what I’ve discovered along the way:

Here are 3 reasons why you should listen to this episode:

1. You’ll learn how to take action, even when fear tries to hold you back.

2. You’ll discover the value of asking for, and accepting, help as you pursue your purpose.

3. You’ll see why real growth comes not from perfect planning but from learning as you go.

If you’re ready to embrace your own journey of purpose, I hope this episode brings you the inspiration to keep moving, keep learning, and keep showing up, even if it means doing it afraid.

And, if you’ve been thinking about starting your own podcast and could use some guidance, my podcast manager, Lynda, has space for one or two new clients. She’s an amazing resource for helping you get started, you’ll find her links below.

This week’s “How She Finds Purpose” insight comes from Dr. Laura Gallaher. She says -

“Self-acceptance is being okay with who you are right now without having to change a thing. That means you're okay with your flaws and imperfections, and you can honor your talents and strengths. It’s radical because it’s rare—most of us are stuck in self-judgment.”

Dr. Laura Gallaher is a professional speaker, organizational psychologist, and national best-selling author. She shares a powerful message of radical self-acceptance, guiding driven individuals to transform their relationships with themselves. Her impactful work has touched organizations like NASA, Disney, and Yahoo. Outside of work, she enjoys water skiing, relaxing by the pool, and playing with her dogs, Grayson and Jackson, or spending time at her grand piano.

Here are 3 reasons why you should listen to this episode:

1. If you've ever struggled with self-doubt or perfectionism, you’ll learn practical ways to shift toward self-acceptance.

2. Discover how psychological safety can dramatically improve your leadership and team performance.
