Start Your Second Act: How to Pivot with Purpose and Launch a Life You Love (#86)

Are you feeling stuck in a career that no longer excites you—and wondering if it’s too late to pivot?

I’m joined by Shannon Russell, certified career transition and business coach and founder of Second Act Success. Shannon shares her journey from successful TV producer to entrepreneur, and how she now helps women reinvent their careers and build second acts aligned with their purpose, passions, and lifestyle goals.

Shannon is also the author of the brand-new book: Start Your Second Act: How to Change Careers, Launch a Business, and Create Your Best Life—a strategic, step-by-step guide to help you pivot with confidence and clarity.

Whether you want to leave corporate, start a side hustle, or launch your own business, this episode is packed with insights to help you get unstuck and take action.

🔥 In This Episode, You'll Learn:

• The defining moment that inspired Shannon to leave TV and build a second act
• The most powerful mindset shifts that helped her reinvent herself
• Why the YouMap® assessment is a game-changer for career pivots
• Common fears women face around starting a business—and how to overcome them
• The biggest challenges Shannon has faced as an entrepreneur and author (and how she got through them)
• What Shannon wishes she knew before writing her book
• Her best advice for the woman who knows she wants a change but doesn’t know where to start

You don’t have to start over—you just have to start intentionally. With the right mindset, strategy, and support, your second act can be the most fulfilling chapter yet.
