Debbie Reber: How Your Life’s Path Can Shape Your Career Path (Episode 179)
Topics We Explored:
- Why having a successful career as well as pursuing other side projects can lead to more personal fulfillment
- How Debbie’s relationship with her son and his “differently wired” diagnoses has shaped how she pursues her career passions
- Why working through the chaos and not waiting for just the right moment can help you be more successful
- How the education system is not designed for those kids with different needs and capabilities, how to work through that, and how homeschooling may be an option (even if you never thought it could be)
“I think that as a parent, we have so many preconceived notions about what things should look like, and if you really start to question all of it, then you can find a lot more freedom in that experience.” — Debbie Reber
