In this interview, I chatted with my dear friend Melanie Smadi. We dive into how she left her unfulfilling career as a nuclear engineer to pursue her passion to become a personal trainer, helping people to feel strong and confident in their bodies. We discussed some pretty common themes that come up when you're making a big career change like this:

• Suppressing your own needs to satisfy what your family wants for you
• The internal conflict of hating your job and feeling stuck
• The fear that comes up when you find a spark of passion and start thinking about making a big change
• How to figure out if you're READY to take action towards your dream
