Choosing Your Change: Lens Shifts for Purposeful Leadership and Life with Vicki Landers

How do you recognize when your career or life path no longer fits—and how do you navigate the challenge of changing course without losing yourself?

In this episode, I chat with Vicki Landers, a coach and speaker whose leadership and healthcare background blend with deep life experience. Vicki's story of leaving corporate healthcare to become a coach reveals the power of conscious choice, perspective shifts, and giving yourself grace through transitions.

Vicki shares how she navigated identity changes, including the evolving role of caregiver, and how small adjustments in how you see your world create profound shifts in satisfaction and clarity.

In this episode, we explore:

- The slow-burning realization that what once worked doesn't anymore
- The importance of choosing change on your own terms
- Battling societal "shoulds" and reframing your narrative
- How perspective lenses impact your experience and leadership
- Integrating personal and professional identities authentically
- Navigating the complexities of shifting caregiving roles
- The value of grace and acceptance in life's seasons
- Practical mindset tools to overcome fear and find agency
- How to move beyond victim mentality to empowered living

This conversation reminds us that change doesn't require a total reinvention. Sometimes it's the lens shift—the way you see your life and work—that unlocks a more fulfilling path. Whether you're facing a career transition, leadership challenge, or personal shift, it's about living a values-first, human-centered life where your internal compass guides the way.
