Living my life from the outside in makes me a beggar at the feast. Living my life from the inside out makes me a gift and a joy and a presence. I am now able to serve to help to heal in a way that I was never able to before." - Susan Filan In this episode, host Ana Melikian welcomes Susan Filan - former trial attorney, legal analyst, and now transformational speaker known as the Wake Up Coach - to the Mindset Zone podcast. Together, they explore the heights of achievement and the hidden costs that can come with relentlessly pursuing career milestones. Susan shares her remarkable journey, from building a prestigious professional life to surviving a near-fatal accident that forced her to completely re-evaluate what truly matters. She candidly describes her wake-up call, the long and difficult road of physical recovery, and the profound shift toward living life from the inside out rather than the outside in. Ana and Susan discuss how society’s focus on busyness, external validation, and productivity can cause us to miss the essence of being alive.
