Life & Career Milestones

My path in life has been direct

  • 1.

    She was working as a pharmaceutical VP, making six figures, traveling often and flying first class.

  • 2.

    One day, she was leaving to go to Chicago and she passed her husband at the airport-he was coming home from a trip.

  • 3.

    She realized that she'd become obsessed with being successful and proving herself in the corporate world, and it didn't make her happy.

  • 4.

    Soon afterwards, she was sitting outside of her house, reflecting, and she decided to call her boss and quit.

  • 5.

    Two things happened after she quit: one, she started volunteering a local crisis nursery, and two, she adopted a rescue dog.

  • 6.

    For the nursery's holiday party, she decided to dress up her dog like Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer.

  • 7.

    The response from the kids was so amazing that she decided to found a nonprofit that helps bring pet therapy to at-risk children.

  • 8.

    Says that she's realized both children and animals live in and enjoy the moment, and that's helped her focus on being more present.
