My guest today is Georgia Pangle. Georgia had been a dancer, before
redirecting herself into the financial world. I met Georgia
through her husband, the awesome, well-respected drummer/musician
Sammy Merendino. (Look for Sammy as my guest in a future episode).
For 30 years, Georgia has worked with smart, impressive colleagues
who started their own firm, advising their clients with integrity
and technical excellence. As she transitions into working less,
Georgia is honest about what she is learning about herself, in the
midst of our culture that rewards over-work. Georgia names a
longing she has for something more that will stimulate her
creativity, passion, intellectual curiosity, perhaps some kind of
volunteer work, but is daring to sit with uncertainty, learning
what it means to be in a state of receptivity.
Georgia speaks courageously about her history of alcoholism and her
process of sobriety. She lists the treasured gifts she appreciates
from participating in the Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) program:
fellowship, spirituality, intensity, laughter, relief, and healing.
Having experienced her parents’ divorce, Georgia approached
becoming a step-mother with sensitivity and humility. I am touched
by Georgia’s vulnerability, intuition, independence, and sweet
sense of humor. And don’t let me forget her spectacular passion for
shoes!! Enjoy the podcast!
