Big Meaningful Life

In this second part of our conversation, Kristin Vierra and I go deeper into what it really means to create a life that feels good to live — not just impressive on paper.
We unpack the myths of career fulfillment and talk honestly about what it takes to build a lifestyle that’s intentional, evolving, and deeply aligned with who you are becoming.

In this episode, you’ll learn:
  • Why fulfillment doesn't come from the “perfect job,” but from aligning your life with your values and energy
  • The dangers of rushing toward the next milestone without celebrating how far you’ve come
  • How to use lifestyle design as an iterative, ongoing practice (not a one-time fix)
  • What it really looks like to let go, reframe, and redesign your life in seasons
  • Why your individual timeline matters — and how to honor it with more self-trust
Whether you’re craving more space, struggling with burnout, or rethinking your pace — this episode will give you frameworks, reflection points, and permission to build differently.
