The power of pausing: Poppy Harlow’s journey from CNN anchor to career clarity

Feeling stuck in your career? Wondering if you’re moving too fast to make the right decisions? In today’s episode of Hello Monday, award-winning journalist Poppy Harlow reveals why taking a pause might be the key to unlocking your next big career move. After 16 years at CNN, Poppy faced an unexpected crossroads when her morning show was canceled. Instead of rushing to the next opportunity, she is taking the time to reflect and listen to the stillness, a choice that is leading her to profound personal and professional transformation. Join Jessi Hempel and Poppy as they explore the power of slowing down during times of uncertainty. In a world obsessed with hustle, Poppy’s journey reminds us that the most important decisions often come when we step back, breathe, and listen to our intuition. From embracing the "messy middle" of career transitions to the importance of empathy in leadership, this episode offers powerful insights for anyone navigating a career shift or seeking greater clarity and purpose.
