Society tells us that success requires sacrifice, but as we have seen with the great resignation many are starting to define success on their terms and are unwilling to sacrifice their well-being for a corporation.
On this first episode of the third season of The Life Design Podcast, Carlos and Susanne sit down with Susanne Grant, author, work-life integration consultant, and entrepreneur, to discuss the human element of work, why people are leaving their jobs and how Life Design impacts careers and the choices we make.
Grant wraps up the episode by giving great insights into a small shift that can be made for those who want to design their own lives and define success on their terms.

All of us have Seven Slices in our lives: our Family Slice, our Professional Slice, our Personal Slice, our Physical Slice, our Intellectual Slice, our Emotional Slice, and our Spiritual Slice. These all need to be served in some fashion―and in serving them, they, in turn, serve us.
This is just some of what Carlos & Susanne spoke about with author and executive coach Dave McNeff on this episode of The Life Design Podcast.
