What if stability isn’t the goal? What if instability is actually where growth happens?
This week on Sh*t I Just Quit My Job, host Maricella Herrera talks with Dr. Tarul Kode — a pharmacist turned health tech co-founder, venture partner, advisor, nonprofit leader, and mom — about what it means to stop chasing stability and instead lean into the wobble.
After 15 years in the same company and 15 years in a marriage, Tarul found herself starting over. At the same time, her daughter faced a serious health crisis, pushing her to rebuild both personally and professionally. Instead of clinging to the familiar, she embraced change, reframed her leadership, and discovered what she calls her “destiny of instability.”
In this episode, Maricella and Tarul dive into:
What it means to stop living in the “shoulds”
How to recognize when you’re climbing the wrong ladder
The difference between peace-time and crisis leadership
Divorce, parenting, and modeling healthy choices for your kids
Why instability doesn’t have to be a crisis, but a calling
Whether you’re navigating a career pivot, rebuilding after loss, or just figuring out what’s next, this episode is a reminder that the wobble can be where you find your strength.
