Like so many women, Amy followed the path she was taught would keep her safe: college, corporate jobs, financial stability.She even landed a coveted role on Wall Street — after being told flat-out by a recruiter that she would “never” make it.And yet, even after proving everyone wrong, the feeling didn’t change.“I achieved the pinnacle of what I thought I wanted… and it still wasn’t right.”For 16 years, Amy tried to fix that feeling with promotions, new roles, and new teams. But the truth kept resurfacing: she wasn’t unhappy because she wasn’t successful — she was unhappy because she wasn’t aligned.This is the reset so many women face in midlife: realizing that external success can’t compensate for internal disconnect.
