On the show today we have the honor & privelage of interviewing author, speaker & dear friend Stephanie Hendrick. Stephanie chats about falling into a 10 year career after college, where she & her husband built an amazing business together but ultimately, it wasn't what she wanted.  She made a choice to pivot into doing the thing she wanted to do all along which was be an author & a public speaker as she didn't want to showcase to her daughters that living a life unfulfilled was okay. She launched her first book titled Meant For More in December of 2020 which means her girls were home with her during the writing process. Tune in to find out more about how Stephanie's pivot gave them permission to seek more!
