Ready to Reinvent Yourself? A Conversation With Anita Rombough

It can be terrifying to reinvent yourself and then need to tell other people -- whether it be your work or your coworkers, your significant other, or your family members -- that you are trying to do something different or you want to go in a different direction. Those moments are real and they happen to all of us. And today's guest, Anita Rombough, will help you walk through these one by one. As a gentle yet bold change agent, Anita helps fellow big-hearted dreamers discover and align with their soul or “sole” purpose to achieve their version of Soulful Success, the  sweet spot where personal fulfillment meets impact and financial prosperity. If you recognize this ache that so many people are feeling towards wanting more, but not necessarily more stuff, not necessarily more money, but more life, more joy, more connection and more love – this episode is for you. Anita says she’s done a lot of things – her current career is a reinvention. Her love language is soulful success. So many of us have kind of chased that path of “should”, have gone through the motions of what we think the definition of success should look like. “We're putting all this emphasis on the external part, right, like what we call ourselves at work,” says Anita. “We judge each other based on that, you know, our paychecks, what kind of flashy things we have, all those kinds of labels and accolades. … But I also, more importantly, want to feel fulfilled and impactful.” Anita says this is what she unlocks for people, but to do that, she needed to go through it herself. She has three psychology degrees, and she was an occupational therapist. But she wanted more. She went back to school and got her MBA then worked in the corporate world for 10 years.  “I couldn't help but think, is this it?” She realized the one piece she hadn’t integrated yet was her spiritual and intuitive background.  “My background is Indian. I come from this rich ancestry of yoga and meditation and, you know, all this, this beautiful goodness that I embodied on a daily basis, but not for the external world to see.” She says there's also those expectations and pressures from your own heart. Especially as women, we get trained at a very young age not to listen to that soft voice, because it usually tends to make other people uncomfortable. To take a stand for the softest voice in the room can be really challenging. It's a skill like any other that we have to practice and learn how to lean into. Entrepreneurship, reinvention, pivoting, whatever life choices you make, if they're different, it's not for the faint of heart. But it is so liberating when you can march to the beat of your own drum and just and find your own path. Anita says it’s key to listen to your energy, which is like your gas tank. You always want to keep it on high. It's about elevating your vibration, tuning into your emotions, your energy. That is the clue that you're heading in the right direction.  Mentioned in this episode: The Surrender Experiment by Michael Singer: https://amzn.to/3UGjQD3  What Happened to You by Oprah Winfrey and Bruce Perry: https://amzn.to/4a7rL0y  Connect with Anita Rombough: https://www.anitarombough.com/  Free gift: Quick Dopamine Hits and Spiritual Lifts: https://anitarombough.lpages.co/dopaminehits/  Other GoG episodes you might want to check out: Carve Your Career Path and Make More Money https://sarahwalton.com/women-career-path/  Overcome Societal Expectations of ‘You’re Not Enough’ https://sarahwalton.com/societal-expectations-for-women/  You can check out our podcast interviews on YouTube, too! http://bit.ly/YouTubeSWalton   Thank you so much for listening.
