Today’s guest, Mira, talks about how she built a successful business but felt unhappy and decided to change her path. Mira created a six-figure business but realized that something was missing—she felt unfulfilled and empty inside. She had climbed the ladder of success, but it was leaning against the wrong wall. Mira discusses how important it is to define success on your own terms, listen to your inner voice, and make tough decisions. She also shares how she is now building a career and life that truly fulfills her.
