From Recipes for Success Podcast: S1: Ep 2 In Conversation with Suzanne Thompson: Covid Change, Solo Travel & Family
Embrace the opportunity to redefine success on your own terms
In this thought-provoking and candid interview, Suzanne Thompson shares how the COVID pandemic acted as a catalyst, leading her to redefine success. Before the pandemic, her definition of success revolved around traditional standards and the competitive nature of her corporate job at Accenture, where promotions were closely tied to self-worth and confidence. Suzanne opens up about how the lack of specific feedback on her work impacted her mental health and identity, creating uncertainty about her professional worth.
However, as COVID forced her into remote work, separated from family in Carlow and Wexford while residing in a Dublin house share, Suzanne experienced a profound shift in her outlook on success. The absence of corporate perks and social interactions left her with more time to reflect on her work-life balance, causing her to reevaluate her priorities.
This led Suzanne to begin to measure success on her own terms, realizing that it was not solely about promotions or other external accolades. She discovered the significance of self-care and personal growth and found the confidence to prioritize her well-being and other life priorities, such as solo travel and family.
As the interview unfolds, Suzanne's story serves as an inspiring reminder to choose your own definition of success. Her transformation during the pandemic demonstrates the power of living life on your own terms, as ultimately this will lead to a more fulfilling and balanced life.
