Following Curiosity and Setting Boundaries with Gorgi Coghlan - Part 2

Sometimes we let the grind wear us down.

In a bid to eat, or have a roof over our heads, or even the pressure to provide for others, the grind can chip away at who we are, and who we really want to be.

Then we look back and it’s been an extended period of time, but you feel like you are standing in the same place.

It takes a unique person that knows how to call it, when it's time to change it up, walk away or do something different. It’s ballsy, but also a talent within itself, as it takes reflection, awareness, and strength.

Gorgi Coghlan is one of those people.

Gorgi studied Pharmacology and Zoology at University, holds a Bachelor of Science, but when it came to a lifetime in a lab, it wasn’t for her.

Gorgi further studied teaching, and taught Science for a few years across senior school, before getting the inkling her trajectory needed to change again. All in that time her love for performing and being a classically trained singer never faded, and Gorgi started a long lasting career across TV, Media, Music, Theatre, Presenting and Journalism.

From Today Show presenter, to a host of The Circle and ultimately 10 years on Network Ten’s The Project, whilst also juggling singing and Theatre shows, Gorgi worked tirelessly but it was clear whilst hard working, talented and committed, she also listened to her intuition and stuck by her values at each fork in the road.

So we talk to Gorgi about what it is to follow your curiosity?

What does she do to follow her intuition?

How does she know when it’s time to set boundaries for herself? And how does she navigate the fast pace of media to protect her intuition and live by her core values?
