If you’re a high achiever who’s ever thought, “There has to be more than this,” this episode is your wake-up call.
Rachel Spekman went from chasing titles and climbing ladders to helping others find purpose and fulfillment in their work. Whether you’re thinking about quitting your job, changing direction, or just craving a career that actually lights you up — this conversation is for you.
Today, I sit down with Rachel Spekman — therapist, elite career strategist, and coach for high performers ready to ditch burnout and design soul-aligned work.
We talk about what it really takes to move from “high-achieving but unfulfilled” to “aligned and thriving.” Rachel shares her personal story of leaving the corporate grind, how motherhood sparked her career transformation, and the practical steps anyone can take to find purpose without blowing up their life.
What You’ll Learn:
The exact moment Rachel realized she needed to change jobs and how she built her next chapter from scratch
How to know when you’re out of alignment — and what “80% happy” really means
Why fear, loyalty, and money keep high achievers stuck (and how to get unstuck)
Tactical tools like Rachel’s “Internal Audit” exercise for identifying what drains vs. fuels your energy
How storytelling and personal narrative can help you reinvent your career
The mindset shift that helps you trust yourself and take calculated risks toward fulfillment

Description

You are not alone, building a business is hard. This is a podcast to hear from those who have done it before you so you can become the healthy, wealthy and wise entrepreneur you want to be. 
My name is Paden Squires, and I started  out of college working in finance at a Fortune 500 company and hated it- I was bored out of my mind. So I wanted to change my life. I started studying for the CPA exam, listening to podcasts six hours a day; and I took four exams in eight months. I even started my business in my living room with zero public accounting experiences and taxes. At this point, I had never done a tax return before, but I didn’t let that stop me. In 2014, I launched my business Squires CPA,  and opened up an office in 2016. My business has grown ever since through trials, lessons, networking, and planting the right seeds. Since then I have had a lot of success in other business ventures including real estate, and property management and more.  Now I want to help inspire you to achieve your potential and dreams in business and break from the corporate mold. 
So let’s learn from the stories and hard lessons of successful entrepreneurs so you can become wealthier and wiser today.
