The Reset Button: When Passion, Pressure & New Priorities Collide
Many of us, especially as we enter our early 30s, feel a quiet urge to pause, rethink, and realign. For women, this often becomes a significant phase – a time when passion, societal pressures, and shifting priorities collide. In this talk, Johanna shares her personal journey from building an impact-driven jewellery company to embracing a completely new role in a tech company. She opens up about the so-called “reset moment” – and why it’s not a setback, but an invitation to grow. Expect honest insights, relatable reflections, and encouragement to confidently shape your next chapter.
