Becoming with Mallory Mahoney: When You Stop Doing, Who Remains? [Part 1]

This week on Fearlessly Becoming, I’m joined by Mallory Mahoney for an honest, expansive conversation about stepping away from corporate life and sitting in the in-between.

Mallory recently chose to take a sabbatical after years of defining herself through titles, timelines, and external expectations. In this first part of our conversation, we explore what it looks like to decouple identity from career, to slow down without having all the answers, and to gently come back to yourself after years of “doing.”

We talk about the discomfort of unlearning productivity as worth, the grief and relief that can coexist when you walk away from something familiar, and the quiet (sometimes messy) process of rediscovering joy when there’s no clear next step yet.

This is a conversation for anyone who’s questioning who they are outside of their job, feeling untethered in a season of transition, or learning to trust themselves in the pause.

Part two of this conversation will be released next week — and if this episode is any indication, you’ll want to stay for what unfolds next.
