b"\\u201cI didn't wanna be still, I had to be still, but I, I, I wanted more than anything to continue being a human doing. And the universe was insisting that I became a human being and it's profound. I mean, it's the greatest transformation of my life. You know, I went from being extremely supported on a business perspective to having to go buy stamps. And it takes me all day to mail a letter. You know, I'm really, I'm only able to do what I can do in a day and I love it. I really love it because as I often said, like, I can do bad all by myself. I don't need somebody else confirming a reservation and rubbing somebody the wrong way so that when I get there, the energy is weird. It's like now off I get somewhere and the energy's weird it's cuz of me.\\u201d\\nSo says Jennifer Rudolph Walsh, a dear friend and mentor, who in her prior life, was the global head of literature, lectures, and events at WME, the agency. During her long and storied career she shepherded many of culture\\u2019s biggest luminaries, including Oprah, Bren\\xe9 Brown, and Sue Monk Kidd. And yes, Jennifer is an amazing dealmaker, who can look for synergies across industries so that everyone wins, but I believe her particular genius point is finding the story\\u2014I have watched her work with people where their story, which they perceived as messy, random, unimportant, comes together in her eyes as a cogent, powerful narrative. It is incredible to witness, and truly transforms that person\\u2019s perspective on their entire life. She is one of my friends and mentors\\u2014on any given day, she might be my mother, my sister, or as she would joke, my daughter\\u2014and I have learned so much from watching her navigate the world with fierceness and power. In today\\u2019s conversation, she talks about her transition into a sacred pause as she contemplates how she wants to serve in this next phase of her career\\u2014and we explore story as both a tool for personal healing and an opportunity for societal change. Let\\u2019s get to our conversation.\\n \\nTo learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy\\n \\n Learn more about your ad choices.
