You’ll hear Paulina share: Why saying no to a prescribed career path became the first real step toward her identity How coaching helped her uncover people-pleasing patterns, trauma, and hidden limits What Malta, relocation, and starting over taught her about intuition and reinvention The role of support, mentorship, and asking for help when life gets uncertain How to define success on your own terms and give yourself multiple chances to get there Book your free 1:1 clarity call with Lauren here - https://links.laurenjeandevine.com/widget/bookings/one-to-one-discovery This episode also goes into the emotional cost of family responsibility, the tension between logic and intuition, and the grief, guilt, and clarity that can come with loving someone deeply while still choosing your own path. Paulina’s story is a reminder that growth is rarely neat, and that self-trust often has to be built in the middle of uncertainty. Perfect for anyone standing at a crossroads, questioning a major life decision, or finally ready to stop living by someone else’s script and start building a life that actually fits.
