October 30, 2019

In this episode, Gail, Catherine and Pam discuss Pam’s unexpected pleasure in moving from a 75 hours-a-week leadership role (for 32 years) to forming new passions. Transferring her leadership expertise as head of a nonprofit organization, Pam is now a Climate Action Leader as well as an advocate for endangered species. During this period of being healthy, after two bouts of ovarian cancer, Pam is ready for her “second mountain.”
