    Nov 12 2025
    In this episode, I sit down with Shannon Russell, career coach, podcaster, and founder of Second Act Success, to talk about what it really means to start over — and the courage it takes to build something new. After spending 16 years as a television producer in New York, Shannon made the bold decision to pivot into education, entrepreneurship, and now coaching women through their own career transitions. We talk about the mindset shifts that come with reinvention, how to tune out the noise of “should,” and the practical steps to creating a second act that feels aligned and fulfilling. Whether you’re craving a career change, thinking about a new business, or simply need the reminder that it’s never too late to begin again — this conversation will leave you inspired to take your next step forward.
