Overcoming Comfort and Making the Scary Pivot | Jana Angel featuring Kristen Miranda

What does it take to walk away from a highly successful, 30-year career in television broadcasting? In this episode of Coffee & Conversations, host Jana Angel sits down with beloved former WBTV QC Life host Kristen Miranda at Community Matters Cafe in Charlotte, North Carolina.

Kristen opens up about her decision to leave local television at age 50, the challenges of starting over, and her exciting new role with Blumenthal Arts. Jana and Kristen also address the online rumors about a "rivalry" between them, proving that support, friendship, and collaboration are far more powerful than competition.

If you have been feeling a "stirring" or a "rumbling" to make a major pivot in your own life or career, Kristen’s advice on overcoming comfort and embracing the scary first steps is exactly what you need to hear.

Key Topics Discussed:

• Dispelling the host rivalry myth and celebrating female friendship in media.
• Choosing growth and learning over a comfortable career routine.
• Understanding your unique "superpowers" and how they translate to the real world.
• Dealing with public feedback and staying grounded.
