After more than 20 years in corporate America, Kim shares the honest story of what happened when she finally stepped away from the career path she had spent years building. From Harvard Business School to brand marketing roles at Kraft, Victoria’s Secret, Sephora and beyond, she had followed the “right” steps, earned the titles, and kept climbing, until the life she had built no longer felt like her own.


In this episode, Kim opens up about the breaking point that led her to quit, the relief and panic that came after, and the unexpected grief of slowing down after years of measuring herself by achievement. She shares what moving to France taught her about stillness, why purpose can’t be rushed, and how the answers often come when we finally get quiet enough to hear them.


This is a vulnerable conversation for anyone questioning their path, feeling restless in a life that looks good on paper, or wondering what might be waiting on the other side of slowing down.
