Walking Away: How to Leave a Promising Career and Make Your Life Your Own (Camino stories part 2 of 2!), with Christine Job

“I was expecting to feel a certain way about the accomplishments. But it wasn't fulfilling, and I couldn't understand why.” Christine Job was a talented law student and the first Black female president of her class. From an early age, her family had expected her to go into law, but despite her achievements she was terribly unsatisfied. Christine’s early professional life was a series of fits and starts. Big opportunities kept leading to dead ends until one day she had a nagging feeling that would not go away. A friend had told Christine about the Camino de Santiago, an intense 800 kilometre pilgrimage across northern Spain. Hundreds of thousands of people walk the Camino each year, all of them seeking clarity. To Christine, it sounded horrible, but feeling lost about what was next, something in her told her to head to Spain. This is our second of two episodes on The Breakout where we look at the transformative power of the Camino de Santiago. On this episode, Christine shares her Camino experience, her winding road to fulfillment and all the hard lessons along the way.
