Astrid Baumgardner is a Yale Professor, NYC-based career coach, author of the book Creative Success Now, TedX speaker (you name it!) who helps others make life and career choices based on their values, strengths and passions.

Today, Astrid delves into:

What sparked her own life leap after 25 years
The questions we should all ask ourselves
What mindset is (and isn't!) helpful
Why we should all unlock and cultivate our inner creativity when making life and career changes - and how to do it
