with Stephanie Georges — former top-ranked Wall Street analyst and senior executive in technology and telecommunications, and co-founder of the Meraki Dignity Project
Episode summary
What if getting older gives us more freedom to make the changes we want, rather than fewer options?
Rachel talks to Stephanie Georges, former top-ranked Wall Street analyst and senior executive in technology and telecommunications, and co-founder of the Meraki Dignity Project, about how to take more risks in midlife, navigate uncertainty and find the confidence to try something new.
They explore why we often focus on what we might lose when making a change, how to distinguish a smart risk from a reckless one, and why staying where we are can carry its own risks. Stephanie also shares how curiosity, asking questions and having conversations can help us discover new possibilities, even when we don’t have all the answers.
