Bump In The Road:
Zya Be On Life After the Corporate World
Zya ​Be ​built ​a ​successful ​corporate ​career ​in ​organizational ​change ​consulting, ​including ​starting ​her ​own ​company. She’s ​traveled ​the ​globe ​solo, ​contributed ​to ​a ​best ​selling ​book ​on ​creativity, ​and ​now ​she ​has ​her ​own ​podcast, ​Your Hell Yes Life where ​she ​tells ​the ​stories ​of ​other ​fearless ​women.Â
But fearlessness isn’t the only component of living a “Hell Yes Life”. The path comes with some bumps in the road.
“So ​I ​semi ​retired, ​but ​I ​was ​48 ​at ​the ​time, ​and ​people ​at ​48 ​are ​not ​around. ​So ​I ​was ​actually ​quite ​bored ​for ​a ​year.”
She realized that what she was looking for was a deep ​inner ​yes. ​Zya reflects:
“That ​one ​that ​I ​yearned ​to ​follow ​all ​those ​years ​when ​I ​was ​doing ​what ​I ​thought ​I ​should ​do, ​when ​I ​was ​just ​following ​the ​money ​instead ​of ​my ​heart. ​ ​I ​finally ​made ​it ​out.”
Which ​raises ​the ​question ​of ​what ​does ​your ​soul ​yearn ​to ​do? ​And ​what’s ​holding ​you ​back?
Zya Be On Following your Yes!
“I want to be doing work that’s more meaningful.”
Â
“Your hell yes is not about woohoo. It’s about following your deep inner yes.”
Â
“I’m somebody that actually enjoys getting out of my comfort zone.”
Â
“We are missing so much of the magic of the right brain.”
Â
“We need more rebellious, happy, joyful people.”
Â
“Following your own path is challenging. There is discomfort. But it is absolutely worth it.”
