#41: Danya Shults - Career Pivots, Sabbaticals, and Navigating Life’s Transitions
Update: 2025-02-27
Description
How do you know when it’s time to make a change—whether in your career, personal life, or mindset?
In this episode, I sit down with Danya Shults, who shares her experiences from working at Skillshare and Patreon to becoming an executive coach. We also talk about her recent psychedelic therapy, sabbatical in Spain, and navigating changes as you get closer to 40.
We discuss:
- The emotional and practical side of career pivots
- Why Danya and her husband quit their jobs for a four-month sabbatical
- How founders (and anyone in transition) can avoid anticipatory grief
- The role of intuition, spirituality, and psychedelics in navigating life shifts
This conversation is perfect for anyone experiencing major life transitions.
