One brave ask can change a career, and one heavy loss can make you question who you even are. We sit down with Mary Elizabeth Murphy, CEO of Star Resources and author of Reset Your Buttons, to talk about both sides of that reality and what it takes to lead through it. Mary Elizabeth has spent decades in training and development, team dynamics, and workplace leadership, but her story starts with a moment many professionals recognize: layoffs, uncertainty, and that uncomfortable decision to reach out for guidance.
We dig into how mentorship actually works in real life, how the “wrong” person can still be the right connector, and why leadership often finds you before you feel ready. The conversation turns deeply personal as she describes grief after losing her best friend to ovarian cancer and how faith and community helped her find her legs again.
Thanks for listening!
