Unmute with Priya: Finding Your Voice at Midlife
Stop Living by Someone Else's Definition of Success with Caryn Gillen
What if the life you've built isn't actually the life you want? In this episode of Unmute with Priya, I sit down with Caryn Gillen—coach, former therapist, and founder of Caryn Gillen Coaching—to explore what happens when you've spent years living by expectations that were never truly your own. Together, we unpack the difference between coaching and therapy, what it really means to live in alignment, and why so many accomplished people reach a point where success no longer feels fulfilling. Caryn shares why courage isn't about making dramatic life changes overnight—it's about being honest with yourself, learning when to quit what no longer fits, and creating a life that reflects who you really are. In this episode, we discuss: Why alignment is often uncomfortable Living by someone else's definition of success The difference between coaching, therapy, and consulting Why accomplished people still feel stuck The power of giving yourself permission to quit Building a life that finally feels like your own Connect with Caryn Gillen Website: Caryn Gillen, Business Coach ️ Podcast: The Caryn Gillen Podcast Instagram: Thought Partner & Coach (@caryngillen) • Instagram profile LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/caryngillen/
