From CEO to Coach: Terri Levine’s Joy-First Business Shift
Episode 94
Dr. Terri Levine spent years climbing the corporate ladder, eventually becoming CEO of a national healthcare company with nearly 3,000 employees. But behind the title, she felt exhausted, disconnected, and deeply out of alignment. So she walked away—without a backup plan—and said yes to coaching, authenticity, and a business built around service.
In this episode, Terri shares how she:
- Went from speech pathologist to multi-million dollar entrepreneur
- Quit her CEO job with nothing but 5 weeks’ pay and a ton of faith
- Built a business by helping other women do the same
- Ditched hustle culture and found clarity through action
- Learned to lead with heart—not ego
Whether you’re craving more freedom, stuck in analysis paralysis, or trying to figure out your next chapter, this one’s for you.
