What if the “dream job” you worked so hard to earn… wasn’t your dream anymore?

In this episode, Natalie sits down with Lindsay MacMillan - a former VP at Goldman Sachs who walked away from a prestigious Wall Street career to follow a lifelong dream of becoming a published author. Since leaving Wall Street, Lindsay has signed major book deals with Penguin Random House, taken the TEDx stage four times, and created a multi-faceted creative business aligned with her values.

Together, they unpack what it really takes to leave a good job, why the “Plan B” trap keeps so many women stuck, and how to navigate the financial, emotional, and identity shifts that come with choosing the creative path.

This conversation is an honest, vulnerable, and deeply empowering look at what happens when you stop settling for a life that looks good on paper, and start creating one that actually feels good.
