In Leap We Trust - The Leap Lounge v2
Taking the leap is one thing. Living with what comes after it is another.
After time away from the podcast, Joan Russell returns to The Leap Lounge with a deeply personal look at what happened after she stepped away from the path she thought she was supposed to follow.
Because sometimes the hardest part isn’t deciding to change. It’s navigating what comes next: uncertainty, financial pressure, unexpected turns, and the uncomfortable question of whether you made the right choice at all.
If you’ve already made a big change and are quietly wondering why life didn’t immediately get easier, this episode is for you.
In this Episode:
Why Joan stepped away from The Leap Lounge—and why she came back
What happens after the excitement of taking a big leap wears off
The uncertainty and practical realities that come with starting over
Why unexpected detours may be more useful than they first appear
How Joan thinks about Direction → Decision → Action Step
What this new chapter of The Leap Lounge is really about
This isn’t a story about having the perfect plan.
It’s about what happens when you decide to move anyway.
