Episode Synopsis

What does it take to thrive in both your career and your wellbeing?This week on What She’s Worth, I’m joined by Samantha McGurgan, career counselor, educator, and yoga teacher, for a powerful conversation on clarity, confidence, and creating people-centered careers.Sam shares her fascinating journey from running marathons to leading with mindfulness, and how she now supports high achievers in navigating ambition without sacrificing mental health. We talk about the role of strengths-based coaching in career growth, why non-violent communication is really a form of self-care, and how conflict can actually become a connection point instead of a breaking point.We also dig into what leadership looks like in a new era, and how strategies rooted in positive psychology and mindfulness can help us redefine ambition in ways that are sustainable, brave, and deeply human.This conversation is equal parts grounding and energizing — and it will leave you with practical tools to build clarity, connection, and confidence in your own career journey.📲 Follow @whatshesworth on Instagram for more inspiration and behind-the-scenes moments.Connect with Samantha on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/samanthamcgurgan/Learn more about Sam's private practice: www.samanthamcgurgan.comTo connect with Ashleigh on LinkedIn, click⁠⁠ ⁠HERE⁠⁠⁠.To connect with What She's Worth on Instagram, click⁠ ⁠HERE⁠⁠.To shop What's She's Worth merch, click ⁠⁠HERE⁠⁠.To watch this show on YouTube, click ⁠HERE⁠.NOTE: The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are my own and do not represent the positions, policies, or perspectives of any past or present employer or affiliated organization.
