Shawn Forbes - Fearless Freefall - Fashion Director Get Laid Off and Finds New Direction
Show Notes

Shawn Forbes spent ten highly successful years as a fashion director at Macys, an expert in the color, texture and intuition of fashion. As an executive at Levis, she loved the people she worked with but was not doing those creative things she most enjoyed. As the bread winner and provider for her Bay Area family, she could not easily leave the paycheck and insurance. Then, she was laid off (along with 700 others). Yet, instead of dread and fear, Shawn felt relief and enormous opportunity to explore her unique gifts and use them to help others become their best self. On this Swan Dive, we explore how being pushed off the cliff can actually become a swing of joy.
