Wendy Kleinfeldt is a Career Breaker.
After rising through leadership and Learning & Development roles in tech, Wendy reached a breaking point. She realized the the “golden handcuffs” weren’t worth the cost to her self-respect or well-being. Drawing on a lifelong third-culture perspective and a strong mind–body intuition, she chose to walk away from corporate life and redesign work on her own terms.
In this episode, Wendy shares how she left a high-paying role, moved states, and pivoted from corporate consulting to coaching. She’s now the founder at Purple Tiger Fitness where she helps women at the crossroads of fitness and leadership.
In this episode, she shares about separating passion from purpose, why “career” isn’t always the right frame, and what it looks like to build an integrated life where work, family, and fitness support each other. We also talk about accountability, boundaries, and the small habits that unlock big change, like prepping for her first bodybuilding competition!
Wendy offers powerful insights for anyone questioning the path they’re on. Tune in to hear Wendy’s story of courage and reinvention. Listen now and follow for more stories from bold Career Breakers like Wendy.
