Episode 13: This is Cute with Heidi Meyer
Description
Are you ready for a great Minnesota accent? Well, this episode with Heidi Meyer has it. Growing up on a farm meant she HAD to find a way out of her small town in order to find her way in life. Post-secondary education wasn't expected, but she aimed for it anyway.
Heidi heads off to college, finds a job, and sits there for a loooonnnnnggggg time becoming the Executive Director of Admissions for the University of Minnesota. BUT, she wasn't happy. She didn't feel fulfilled, but she stayed in the role until 2020 struck, brought a pandemic, and gave her the quiet needed to go inward and hear what she really desired.
There isn't a person who won't identify with some part of Heidi's story on life & work. She grapples with the reality that we allow our work to become our identity and how a pandemic changed her world. She asks the question about whether work was bringing her to her best place in life and begs the questions, "What have I been doing with my life?" When's the last you asked yourself that question?
During the taping of this episode, Heidi was still experiencing the empowerment of asking herself what she really wanted out of life....and wasn't sure if a job was the answer.
