Welcome back to How Are You Arriving! I am so excited to announce our next theme on this podcast. The next few episodes fall under the theme of Passion-Driven Work. I admire the people whose work is not only about the paycheck, but also about purpose. Passion-driven work is what happens when a cause, a belief, or a commitment calls us and we answer. Some jobs we chose because they’re practical, while others chose us because of what we believe in, who we want to help, or the difference we have to make. The stories we will be diving into show us what happens when work is fueled not only by skill but also by conviction, when what we do is tethered to what matters most to us.  This week, I am delighted to have a dear old friend, Sandra Lippard, joining me on the podcast. She lives in Maryland with her husband and 15-year-old twin girls. Sandra’s first career was in product marketing for high-tech companies, and after her children were born, she took some time off to reevaluate her priorities. She then switched gears to work in a field that made a difference in her own life.
