In this week's episode:

When the Dream Job Isn’t the Dream Anymore

What if the career you worked so hard for… isn’t the life you want anymore?

In this powerful conversation, Teegan Bartos sits down with Johanna Dahlman, founder and CEO of Alopecia Angel, to unpack what happens when success on paper doesn’t match the truth in your gut.

Johanna shares her journey from a high-profile role at Apple to walking away from it all to create a mission-driven business rooted in healing, purpose, and alignment.

This episode is about identity, courage, and the belief that your next chapter doesn’t require shame, just the willingness to take the next step.

Key themes we explore:

  • Why your job title is not your identity (and never was)

  • The hidden cost of chasing the “perfect” résumé

  • What it looks like to leave safety for something more aligned

  • How to move through different life seasons without regret

  • Turning personal healing into a global mission

One of the most impactful moments? When Johanna unpacks the belief she had to let go of in order to finally choose herself and how that decision changed everything.

This episode is a must-listen for anyone at a crossroads, quietly wondering, “Is this really it?”

Whether you’re in a dream job that no longer fits or simply craving more meaning in your work, this conversation will challenge you to trust what’s next.
