Finding Wisdom and Purpose In a Challenge Many Women are Afraid to Discuss - Conversation with Evelyn Chou

Today I interview Evelyn Chou who currently works in Product at Coursera (ex-Uber) and whose passions include creating great articles and content on Medium and LinkedIn, working with data and analytics, traveling and launching products in different cities, as well as offering her advice and mentorship to up and coming PMs.  Evelyn is also one of the hardest-working, kindest and bravest people I've had the honor to know and coach.  

In our conversation, Evelyn opens up about a challenge that so many women face in private and keep a secret at work -  her fertility struggles. She shares with us how the journey has evolved her and what it has meant to open up to her manager and a few close colleagues about it, as well as the gifts of choosing to not isolate herself and feel alone.  

Tune in to find out:

• How she built a consistent habit of writing content and found the courage to press the "publish" button and what are some of her key principles that you can try as well in order to start writing, 
• Why trying to "check boxes" works for aspects of her career and professional life but not with her body and fertility,
• How feeling "out of control" has changed Evelyn's perspective on life, career and her purpose in life,
• What she found when she chose to share her fertility journey with her manager and a few colleagues, and why you should consider doing the same if you're going through this journey,
• What she learned from her bad*ss Taiwanese grandma,

And more!
