Struggling to find your purpose or feel fulfilled in your career? In this episode, Krista sits down with renowned career coach and TED Talk expert Ashley Stahl for a surprising take on why “following your passion” might be sabotaging your professional happiness—and what to do instead.  Ashley breaks down how to reconnect with your core self, identify your natural strengths, and create a career path that feels aligned, sustainable, and energizing.
