What if you could get a do-over and try out the Dream Job that got away? Not a side hustle, not a lateral move - just straight up starting from scratch to catch a glimpse of what might have been. That's what CEO and happily-married mom Alisha Fernandez Miranda did when she took a leave from her company and crossed the ocean to take a year of unpaid internships in the dream jobs of her childhood. Oh, and she kicked it all off in February 2020. The resulting memoir, "My What If Year," is a wild ride of starry-eyed immersion in Broadway, high art, and the other dreams of her youth... and the kind of self-reflection that can only come from throwing your life into upheaval, and then doubling down during a global pandemic. In this episode of "Your New Life Blend," host Shoshanna Hecht talks with Alisha about what inspired her to take this leap, what changes it has brought to her life, and how to listen - really listen - to yourself.
