What this episode covers

Gina Covarrubias, founder of Deliberate Doing LLC, shares her journey from a 12-year career in aerospace engineering to becoming a life coach for technical professionals. She explains how the pursuit of a 'dream job' and reliance on extrinsic rewards like money led to career despair, and how she pivoted to help engineers overcome this by focusing on intrinsic motivation and self-reflection. The episode includes a live coaching segment where host Aaron Moncur identifies his own disengagement and financial frustrations as symptoms of misaligned expectations rather than a dislike of engineering itself.
