This week's "At Her Career Crossroads" insight comes from myself, Dr. Robin. 

"Sometimes an aligned decision feels deeply right and deeply costly at the same time. True and vulnerable at the same time. Relieving and stretching at the same time."

If you've been sitting in the tension between what looks good on paper and what actually feels true to you, this episode will help you think about career decisions differently. I'm exploring why so many high-achieving women still make choices from pressure, fear, urgency, or external expectations — even after doing the inner work to understand themselves more deeply. And I share what it really means to make a purpose-aligned decision and why the most aligned path is not always the easiest one.

Here are 3 reasons why you should listen to this episode:

• If you've been overthinking a career decision, this episode will help you separate fear from truth so you can stop making choices based only on what feels safest or most explainable.
• You'll hear a practical framework for making decisions that reflect who you are now — not just the version of yourself shaped by old expectations, conditioning, or external pressure.
• This conversation will help you recognize the difference between a difficult decision that stretches you and a misaligned decision that slowly wears you down over time.

I'm Dr. Robin, leadership expert, executive coach, and creator of the PurposeMAKER™ framework. Through Leadership Purpose with Dr. Robin, I help high-achieving women close the gap between external success and true fulfillment by making more purpose-aligned decisions in their careers, leadership, and lives.

This week's "At her Career Crossroads" insight comes from myself, Dr. Robin.

"Sometimes high-achieving women at a career crossroads think it's just an issue of stress, or maybe they think it's timing or workload. But sometimes the deeper issue is that they're succeeding inside conditions that violate what matters most to them."

In this episode, I'm talking about why so many career crossroads feel confusing — especially when the decision looks good on paper, but something inside still feels unsettled. I share why values are often the missing piece in the decision-making process, how values conflicts can quietly shape exhaustion and disconnection, and why clarity starts to change when you stop asking only "What should I do?" and begin asking "What actually matters most to me?"

Here are 3 reasons why you should listen to this episode:

• If you've been feeling torn between a "smart" career move and what genuinely feels right for you, this episode will help you understand why those two things are not always the same — and why that tension matters.

• You'll learn how values often show up through friction, resentment, exhaustion, or disconnection — and why those feelings may actually be important clues instead of something to ignore.

• I walk through practical questions you can ask yourself to make more purpose-aligned decisions, especially if you're in a season where success no longer feels as fulfilling as it once did.

I am a professor, speaker, author, coach, and creator of the PurposeMAKER philosophy, framework, and platform. Through the Leadership Purpose podcast, I help high-achieving women close the gap between success and fulfillment so they can create a life and work filled with more meaning and true purpose.

This week's "At her Career Crossroads" insight comes from myself, Dr. Robin.

"Many of us were taught to think about careers as a straight line. Choose a direction, work hard, advance, continue succeeding. But real careers rarely unfold in such a simple way. As people grow, their sense of identity grows as well. Values start to become clearer, interests deepen, priorities shift, and sometimes the career path that once felt perfectly right begins to feel incomplete."

Here are 3 reasons why you should listen to this episode:

• You'll understand why career uncertainty often appears after success, not at the beginning of a career. If you've ever wondered why something that once felt right now feels unclear, this episode will help you make sense of that moment.

• You'll hear how the career crossroads shows up for many high-achieving women — including the subtle shift from asking "How do I succeed here?" to asking "Is this actually the direction I want my career life to go?"

• You'll walk away with a powerful reflection question that may help you recognize whether the uncertainty you're feeling is actually a signal for deeper alignment in your work and life.

I'm Dr. Robin L. Owens, professor, speaker, author, coach, and creator of the PurposeMAKER philosophy, where I help high-achieving women close the gap between outward success and inner fulfillment so they can create work and lives that feel truly aligned.

Is that really what makes you whole?

"I think having the intention around, what is it that you want to do, and really being honest with yourself. Are you doing it for this reason, or are you doing it for that reason? And does that fulfill you? Is that really what makes you whole? And a lot of times, we compromise to have that image and vision of what we think success is, and that success might not be fulfilling to us."

We can extend both vertically, horizontally, diagonally, spiralled. It's not linear, success. It takes you by surprise.

"Maybe it's time to go to another ladder or to take another little walk on that plateau you're on and find a ladder you want to continue climbing. I don't think it ever ends. I don't think it's like, that's it, we've achieved the pinnacle, and there's nowhere to go. Because we can extend both vertically, horizontally, diagonally, spiralled. It's not linear, success. It takes you by surprise. That's the serendipitous moments that you should always be at."

Cultivate the relationships with women in your life because they will bring you through life.

"We forget that to build and cultivate relationships with women, it's about intentionality. It's about taking time and effort to build relationships, because the women in our lives will see us through our lives. They will lift us up when we need to. They will check us when we need to be checked. They will send us the flowers that we deserve. They will hold us through the gnarly and the scary and the dark, and they will also show us the way."

True power is when you are literally able to claim your authentic self.

"Start by thinking about what success means to her and whether that is based on expectations from, say, her parents, from her education, from society in general, from her friends, from her, position that she has now claimed, or whether that is coming from a deeper place where the definition of purpose where when she is expressing truly who she is, her authentic self. And I that's what I call true power, when you are literally able to claim your authentic self."

This week's "How She Finds Purpose" insight comes from Rúna Bouius.

Rúna is an accidental entrepreneur and says of herself 'this Icelandic trailblazer wasn't always a catalyst for leadership empowerment.' She crushed it as an entrepreneur and CEO in her native Iceland before ditching the suit for a bigger and more purpose driven mission, which is guiding leaders that become conscious leaders.

Rúna is also a futurist, speaker, author, executive coach, and social change agent. And she's on a quest to build a better world, one empowered leader at a time.

In this episode we discussed:

• how Rúna began focusing on conscious leadership after a devastating personal loss

• becoming aware of your impact on others and society

• reflecting on your own definition of success, and questioning societal norms

This week's "How She Finds Purpose" insight comes from Tammy Alvarez.

"To have people who know you well enough to say, 'I remember you had this goal. I remember accomplishing this is really important to you. How are you taking care of that now? And if there's some way I can help, let me know.'

This week's "How She Finds Purpose" insight comes from Alida Miranda-Wolff.

"So your advice would be then to make the goal the feeling?"

"Yes, I did not understand that your goal could be how you want it to feel. So a lot of my goals were actually distractions from purpose. And that was why I felt rootless or lost or, like, I wasn't moving in the direction I wanted. And the things I wanted to feel were just not things that my job was giving me. I wanted to feel rooted. I wanted to feel like I could care for others and they could care for me. And I wanted ultimately to feel like I was doing something that made the world a kinder place."

‌

Alida is a diversity, equity, and inclusion, and belonging practitioner, committed to teaching love and cultivating belonging.

And she is also:

• an Amazon best selling author of 2 books, Leadership Cultures of Belonging, Building Inclusive Organizations That Last, and The First-Time Manager: DEI

"We are all taught that if we're not achieving goals and if we're not striving for goals, we're not being productive enough. And to actually go back and find purpose and meaning, go do things without purpose and meaning. Go play. Go make space for joy. Take care of yourself first."

This week's "At her Career Crossroads" insight comes from myself, Dr. Robin –

"Fear is information. It is not instruction. In other words, fear is just giving you some information. It's just telling you what's happening. It's not telling you what to do."

If you're standing at a crossroads — wanting the next step but noticing your confidence hasn't quite caught up — this episode is for you.

Here are 3 reasons why you should listen to this episode:

• You'll understand why fear gets louder right when something meaningful is in front of you — and why that doesn't mean you're unqualified or unready.

• You'll learn the simple reframe that shifts you from "How do I eliminate fear?" to "How do I move with fear present?"

• You'll walk away with a practical 3-step tool — name, shrink, schedule — so you don't just feel inspired, you actually take one honest step forward within 72 hours.

I am a professor, speaker, author, coach, and creator of the PurposeMAKER philosophy, framework, and platform, helping high-achieving women close the gap between their success and their sense of fulfillment.

If you've been waiting to feel fully confident before you act, this is your reminder: confidence is built through movement, not before it.

Go with your knees knocking.

This week's "At her Career Crossroads" insight comes from myself, Dr. Robin, as a guest on the Career Breakers podcast —

"I knew there had come a point where I was just going through the motions, and I was numb. I had headaches. Sunday night, I would dread it. So I knew, you know, they these were signs. It wasn't like suddenly the light came on. It was just that was the last straw."

If you've ever built the career, checked the boxes, and still felt that quiet dread creeping in on Sunday night… this conversation will speak directly to you.

Here are 3 reasons why you should listen to this episode:

• You'll hear what a real career crossroads actually feels like — not dramatic, not glamorous, but subtle, slow, and impossible to ignore. If you've been "going through the motions," you'll feel seen.

• You'll learn a practical way to evaluate your next move using the four "purpose parts" — so you're not guessing your way into another role that looks good but doesn't fit.

• You'll discover why purpose isn't a job title — and how to make decisions that align with who you truly are, whether you stay, pivot, or create something new.

I'm Dr. Robin — professor, speaker, author, coach, and creator of the PurposeMAKER™ philosophy, framework, and platform, supporting high-achieving women in leadership to close the gap between success and fulfillment.

This week's "At her Career Crossroads" insight comes from myself, Dr. Robin.

"So reinvention after success isn't about becoming someone new. It's about allowing who you actually are to emerge, to rise. And that takes a different kind of courage. Not the loud courage of ambition, but the quiet courage of alignment."

If you've built the career, earned the respect, and created stability — but something inside of you is shifting — this episode is for you. In this solo conversation, I'm talking about the kind of reinvention high-achieving women rarely admit out loud. The kind that happens after success. The kind that feels both terrifying and true.

Here are 3 reasons why you should listen to this episode:

• You'll understand why reinvention after success feels so unsettling — and why that tension between stability and alignment is actually a sign of growth, not failure.

• You'll hear why grieving an old identity is normal, even when everyone else still applauds the life you've built.

• You'll begin to see that you're not starting over — you're starting deeper, wiser, and more aligned with who you are now.

I'm Dr. Robin — professor, speaker, author, coach, and creator of the PurposeMAKER™ philosophy, framework, and platform, supporting high-achieving women in leadership to close the gap between success and fulfillment.

This week's "At her Career Crossroads" insight comes from myself, Dr. Robin. I say —

"You may be like so many high achieving women who are accomplished that you might be living in an outdated version of who you are. Versions that were built from who you were, who you used to be, who you have been, and you haven't updated this sense of who you are."

If you've been successful, accomplished, and respected — but lately you feel restless, misaligned, or quietly questioning what's next — this episode is for you. In this solo conversation, I talk about why purpose doesn't disappear, why it often feels confusing at this stage of your career, and how to recognize when your purpose is asking to evolve.

Here are 3 reasons why you should listen to this episode:

• You'll understand why feeling unfulfilled doesn't mean something is wrong — it often means you've outgrown a former version of yourself.

• You'll learn how "shoulds," expectations, and identity armor quietly block clarity when you're at a career crossroads.

• You'll walk away with four simple questions that help you reconnect with what feels aligned now — not who you used to be.

I'm Dr. Robin — professor, speaker, author, coach, and creator of the PurposeMAKER™ philosophy, framework, and platform, supporting high-achieving women in leadership to close the gap between success and fulfillment.
