Manage episode 420766170 series 2854910
When Carole Mac faced unimaginable grief, she chose an extraordinary path to healing: she reinvented herself. This episode brings you Carole's transformative journey, highlighting her resilience and resourcefulness as she built her Mid-Career GPS. Carol's transition is not just a career change but a tale of personal rediscovery, focusing on how nourishing our passions can lead to profound satisfaction and a renewed sense of purpose.
After losing her 14-month-old son to mitochondrial disease, Carole shares how the darkest periods in our lives can set the stage for the most amazing transformations. The local food culture in Italy taught her about more than just organic farming and artisanal cheese-making; it was a lesson in embracing life with gusto and how the support of a community can be a lifeline back to joy.
Lastly, Carole takes us behind the scenes of television production, sharing the thrills and challenges of bringing stories to life as an executive producer. Her latest projects are a testament to the possibilities that await when we combine our truest interests—in her case, sports and food—into our professional endeavors. For anyone navigating a mid-career transition or facing adversity, our discussion offers actionable advice on harnessing your passions to guide your career path.
