Hannah was at the top of her game. In just a few years she and her husband had built multimillion-dollar businesses between them. She was then an executive coach with high profile agency, Marshall Goldsmith.

Then motherhood happened.

In this episode of Unlock More I interview Hannah Biggs about her incredible journey from high-flying exec to a fulfilling, chosen role as a full-time parent. She knew something had to give in her stressful life but by facing down guilt and uncertainty, she was able to change her life in an uncompromising, brave and purposeful way.

We reflect on our work together and what drove her progress. We look at:

• The negative impact of being one person with full-time two jobs – it’s not something we’re built to do.

• Our dreams and how they’re not always what we think they are.

• How sometimes someone else has to tell you to stop – often at a time when we feel we’re least able to.

• Why trust is so important as it allows you the freedom to boldly follow the breadcrumb trail.

• Why negative feelings can stand in our way and how to shed (or at least minimise) them.

• The power that’s unleashed when you finally find your tribe.

• The importance of having a clear game plan in your ability to adapt to life’s challenges.

• Why taking stock at regular intervals helps to guard against regret further down the line.

Hannah made a massive leap and it’s not the choice that everyone would have made. We’re surrounded by stories about what we should be doing and why – but in the end, we must pick what makes sense to us because otherwise, we’ll be living someone else’s life.

And what a waste that would be.
