Aligning Mind, Body, and Soul for Lasting Career Success

“Honor who you are becoming, not who you’ve been.”

In this episode, I sit down with Marci Coppola, former HR leader turned transformational coach and founder of Seshen Coaching & Wellness, to explore her journey from a high-pressure corporate career to a life focused on alignment, calm, and purpose. Growing up in a hardworking family, she was influenced by hustle culture, which led her into corporate HR and talent acquisition. However, after years of chasing external success, she found herself burned out and unfulfilled.

We discuss how the pandemic helped her realize what was missing and ultimately sparked her transition into coaching. She also opens up about overcoming imposter syndrome, battling people-pleasing, and the transformative power of slowing down to reconnect with inner truth.
