Listen "Sink or Swim: The Choices That Shape Us and the Courage to Change Course"
Episode Synopsis
What happens when the life you worked so hard to build no longer fits who you’re becoming? In this episode of Supergene Unleashed, Stacy Andersen sits down with Magdalena Wrobel, founder of iMind Strategies, former corporate leader, and fearless life strategist, for a deeply honest conversation about identity, reinvention, and the moments that force us to choose between staying comfortable or changing course.
From immigrating to the U.S. at age 11 and learning to “sink or swim,” to walking away from a long-standing corporate career after COVID reshaped her priorities, Magdalena shares how pivotal life moments, not perfect plans, shape who we become. Together, Stacy and Magdalena explore what it really takes to trust yourself, let go of external validation, and redefine success on your own terms. This episode dives into the realities of career pivots, motherhood, financial independence, time freedom, and the courage required to build a life aligned with your values — not society’s expectations.
Magdalena offers practical insights on navigating change, leveraging your network, managing fear and self-doubt, and raising children who aren’t afraid to lead rather than follow.
If you’re standing at a crossroads, questioning your next move, or feeling the pull toward something different, this conversation is your reminder that growth rarely comes without risk, and clarity often comes only after you choose to move. Sometimes, you don’t get a safety net. You get a choice: sink or swim.
