What if you walked away from it all?

The job, the salary, the prestige…to chase a life that actually felt like your own?

In this powerful episode, I sit down with Maddy Reynolds, a professional trail runner who left her high-flying career at Goldman Sachs in Sydney and moved to the French Alps to pursue her athletic dreams. We dive into her journey of walking away from a life that looked perfect on paper, overcoming societal expectations, and building a radically different life rooted in purpose, presence, and passion.

TOPICS WE COVER:

* Why Maddy left a “dream job” in finance to chase something more meaningful

* The identity crisis that comes with starting over abroad

* The challenges (and gifts) of living in a new country and culture

* Her near-death rafting accident and how it reshaped her perspective

* Reclaiming your narrative around success, purpose, and identity

* The power of following your intuition—even when it makes no sense on paper

* What it really means to build a life that truly feels like yours

And SO much more!

This episode is for anyone who’s ever asked: Is this it? If you’ve felt the nudge to start over, crave more freedom, or you’ve been looking for permission to completely reinvent your life, and your definition of success, this conversation is for you.

Until next time X
