In this episode, Melissa sits down with Andy White, host of Leading Our Own Way, for a raw and genuinely human conversation about purpose, resilience, and creating a life that feels aligned.
Andrew shares his journey from being an award-winning teacher to writing a book, stepping into podcasting, and the quiet inner shifts that helped him navigate a deeply misaligned workplace experience.
He reflects on the subtle signs of toxicity, the importance of psychological safety, and how connection and authenticity became anchors in his healing.
Together, Melissa and Andrew explore the power of self-reflection, the “four C’s of contentment,” and the small daily practices that help us stay grounded in who we are.
A gentle, insightful episode for anyone navigating change, recovering from unhealthy workplace cultures, or seeking a more meaningful way of living and leading.
