From Construction Executive to Thai Massage Therapist in Thailand

My guest Darla Reed joins me this week to share her incredible journey of walking away from everything she had built. For seven years, she was a leader in the male-dominated construction field, sitting on the Executive Board. This episode is about the non-negotiable self-check she had to do when she realized that success was costing her soul. We dive into the 'lightbulb moment' that pushed her to leave it all behind for a total re-architecture of her life in Thailand. We discuss the vital role of defining a fulfilled life outside of a job title, the surprising transferable skills between mechanical insulating and Thai massage, and the profound mindset shift that happened when she chose healing over hustle. If you are burned out and dreaming of your own radical career change, this excerpt is your proof that the pivot is possible.
