The Unexpected Career Podcast

Real people’s stories to inspire at every twist and turn of building a career and a life.

Did you know what you wanted to be “when you grew up” when you were small?  Is that what you are doing now?  Most people don’t and yet there is so much pressure at every milestone in life to know exactly what you want to be doing and make the right decision, as if there are only a few “right” ways to create a life.  


While there are cultural differences and systemic barriers that create real roadblocks and heighten this pressure for some, most individual decisions do not set your fate in stone.  Most people I know have found themselves in a particular industry largely by accident and have built careers from there; taking steps forward, sideways and complete pivots around great (or terrible) bosses, company cultures that encouraged (or discouraged) them, changing life circumstances and evolving values.  I’m excited to share the stories of people who have built their career and life on the winding road.
