#137 - Inside-Out Leadership: Transforming How You Lead at Work and in Life with Monica Chang

The titles, promotions, and financial rewards keep stacking up, but then comes the quiet realization that the ladder you’ve been climbing has been leaning against the wrong wall. For many leaders, that truth shows up in the form of burnout, strained relationships, or a sense of emptiness that success alone can’t fix.

 

That’s the turning point Monica Chang reached in her own journey. 

 

After years of living by cultural and societal expectations, she found herself exhausted and disconnected from what really mattered. Choosing a new path, she launched Start With Clarity Consulting to help leaders redefine success from the inside out.

Together, we explore the cost of chasing externally defined success, the power of reconnecting with your values, and practical ways to thrive without losing yourself.
