Episode Description
Have you been feeling stuck, lost, or uncertain about what comes next in your work or career? You're not alone - and there's a name for what you're experiencing.
In this episode, Jean shares her own journey through what Jim Collins calls the fog — the disorienting period that follows a significant life or career change. Honest, personal, and at moments quite extraordinary, this is a conversation about resilience, trust, and the quiet process of emergence.
Jean draws on ideas from Jim Collins, William Bridges, Martha Beck, and Lisa Miller, and shares a remarkable real-life experience of synchronicity that helped her find clarity.
You'll also find practical tools to help you navigate your own fog — including reflection prompts, small steps to take, and questions worth sitting with.
