How Her Healing Journey Led to Her Career Leap with Camille Ali

Leap Like Me

If you’ve ever been in a toxic work environment, you know how it wreaks havoc on your mental and physical health. It can be difficult to find a way out, and it’s common to leave one job and jump right into the next.

For today’s guest, taking a sabbatical was something she had never really considered, until she found and listened to Season 1 of this podcast. She realized she needed to embark on a healing journey to find her authentic self and learn what makes her happy, when it comes to both her personal and professional life.

In the last episode of this season, I’m chatting with Camille Ali, who left her six-figure job to focus on her health and happiness, which led her to a career pivot and discovery of how to be herself, despite what her family and society “expected” of her.
