The Unstuck Career
When Your Childhood Dream Isn’t Enough
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
This week, I sit down with Jen Disney, a marine biologist who’s bravely navigating the messy middle of a major career pivot. After nearly 20 years in her dream field and reaching milestones she’d set as a child, Jen realized her definition of fulfillment was shifting—especially after becoming a new mom. We talk candidly about the challenges of outgrowing your professional environment, competing values at work, and the courage it takes to step away from a lifelong identity.
You’ll hear Jen’s honest reflections on what it means to “redefine success” when the opportunities in your niche industry dry up and life pulls you in new directions. From her struggles to find jobs that truly resonated, to the powerful realization that it was time to be bold and start something of her own, Jen’s move to launch her Rice Krispie treat company—Crispy Comfort Co.—offers inspiration for anyone wrestling with their next chapter. She opens up about the excitement and fears of taking the leap, the importance of community, and how she’s mixing creativity into her new venture.
If you’ve ever thought about making a drastic change, or wondered what it’s like to build something brand new from scratch, this episode is for you. Follow Jen’s journey on Instagram at Crispy Comfort Co, and check out upcoming updates and opportunities to try her unique creations at Orange County Farmers Markets.
