In this episode of Journey to Purpose, Pippa sits down with Colleen Pimentel — a former big tech leader turned purpose coach, speaker, and creator of the Second Act Playbook. Colleen spent 30 years in the tech industry, navigating more than ten reinventions within corporate life. By any measure, she was successful. But five years ago, something shifted. Her daughter left for college — and with her went a huge part of Colleen's identity. The question that emerged from that emptiness wasn't just what do I do next? It was who am I, really? What followed was a profound journey of self-discovery: learning to quiet the noise, listen inward, and build a life rooted in genuine purpose rather than external achievement. Colleen now helps others navigate their own second acts — with practical tools for identity, intention, and meaningful reinvention. In this warm and honest conversation, Pippa and Colleen explore: - Colleen's 30 years in big tech — and why success alone wasn't enough - The inflection point that changed everything: her daughter leaving for college and the identity crisis that followed - Why "greatness isn't a destination, it's a journey" — and what that really means in practice - The Second Act Playbook: how to redefine your identity and rediscover your purpose - Why we stop listening to ourselves — and how to find that inner voice again - Stillness practices for lowering the noise in a busy, always-on world - Colleen's daily journaling ritual: setting intentions, practising gratitude for the small things - How trusting your gut — even when it's inconvenient — changes everything Pippa also shares her own experience of ignoring a gut instinct early in her career, making this a beautifully candid two-way conversation about purpose, reinvention, and the courage it takes to truly start over.
