Rethinking Success Through Career and Life Transitions with Caroline Patrick

In this episode, I’m joined by Caroline Patrick for a thoughtful, honest conversation about how our definition of success shifts over time, often in ways we don’t expect.

Caroline shares her career story, which starts with dreams of becoming a police officer, moves into marketing, and eventually leads her into senior leadership roles focused on stakeholder engagement. Along the way, life throws some huge curveballs, including surviving the Boxing Day tsunami and later making the decision to take a year off to travel with her family. So she’s got plenty of examples from her own life and career to draw from.

We discuss:

  • The moments that force you to stop and reassess

  • The courage it takes to step away from the path you thought you were on

  • And why success in one season of life might look completely different in the next.

  • Caroline reflects on the importance of being proactive rather than reactive in your career

  • Letting go of other people’s expectations

  • And building confidence through self-awareness and intentional choices, even when those choices feel uncomfortable.

This is the perfect conversation to kick off the New Year; it's for anyone who’s questioning what “success” really means to them right now, or feeling a quiet nudge that something needs to change.
