In this episode of The Matt Feret Show, Johanna Danaher—former Pfizer executive turned reinvention coach—dives into what really happens when high achievers face major life transitions like layoffs, retirement, or burnout. Moving beyond the glossy “start over” narratives seen online, Johanna shares practical insights on identity loss, emotional preparedness, and why staying busy can actually hold you back. The conversation explores how to redefine success on your own terms, set boundaries, navigate uncertainty, and design a next chapter that aligns with your values—without ignoring real-life responsibilities like family and finances. If you’ve ever wondered “Who am I without my job?” this episode offers an honest, actionable roadmap forward.
