In this episode, Dr. Melanie Peffer gives us permission to "go for it" and do the things that feel exciting, interesting, and fun. She explains the numerous career opportunities she has encountered since leaving her tenure-track job as well as her emerging interests in industry, coaching, consulting, and even authoring children's books. Melanie is honest about the fears she experienced when she decided to leave the tenure track, but the lightness, hopefulness, and ease with which she seems to go about her work and personal life today demonstrates she made a good decision.
