In this episode of She Boss, Megan sits down with Christy Dunn, Founder & CEO of Awaken Professional Development, for a real conversation about career pivots, confidence, and what it looks like to build a life (and work) that actually fits.

Christy shares her journey from corporate accounting to 20+ years in Mary Kay, and how a 2020 reset helped her reconnect with what mattered most — coaching, mentoring, and helping women step into who they already are. They also dig into tools like CliftonStrengths and Working Genius, why fear is often fear of success (not failure), and how routines + accountability can change everything.

If you’ve been feeling stuck, burnt out, or like you’re due for a next chapter… this one’s for you.
