From Tech Exec to Published Poet: Neelam Patel, Age 47

Published: April 24, 2022, 9 a.m.

Neelam Patel is on the show today! She\u2019s a former and longtime tech executive who left the industry in her late 40\u2019s and became a published author/poet and public speaker. Her specialty is embracing the \u201cmessiness of the middle\u201d, which we, of course, talk a lot about. If you\u2019re ready to embrace the danger of vulnerability, befriend your rage, and follow your curiosity, this episode is for you! The name of her book is \u201cBurning it Down: Dancing in the Rubble\u201d and it\u2019s emotional and touching and as I read it, I felt SEEN. You\u2019ll also hear me recite one of her poems in my stuffy, snotty voice as I begin to recover from Covid. Enjoy!
