What if walking away from “success” was the smartest thing you ever did?
This week on Success Matters, my guest flipped the script.
Meet Jenny Qi — executive coach, globe-trotter, former Wall Street lawyer, and living proof that there’s life and happiness beyond prestige and paychecks.
Jenny’s journey? A PhD in neuroscience; JD from Michigan Law; Nearly a decade surviving the high-pressure, “up-or-out” grind at elite law firms in New York, Hong Kong, Singapore, and Beijing and then: she quit!
Not to “job hop,” not to take a break, but to retire from big law for good.
Why? Because the job came with too high a price tag: her time, freedom, and autonomy. Instead, she chose a life aligned with her deepest values: spirituality, authenticity, freedom, and true impact.
Now based in the mountains of Nepal in the capital Kathmandu, Jenny blends Buddhist wisdom and meditation into her coaching, guiding others to ditch fear, which is her self-confessed kryptonite, and design lives that feel as good on the inside as they look on the outside.
In this episode, we go deep about: * Letting go of the “safe” route * Redefining wealth and success * Making peace with uncertainty * Finding the courage to live on your own terms
If you’ve ever wondered whether there’s more to life than climbing the ladder, this conversation will make you rethink everything.
Tune in and hear how Jenny turned the ultimate career pivot into her most fulfilling chapter yet.
