L’Oreal Thompson Payton IS a Chicago-based media and marketing professional with a passion for people and a penchant for purple. When she’s not busy holding down the fort as a Media Relations Manager for the Girl Scouts of Greater Chicago and Northwest Indiana, blogging at LTintheCity.com or freelancing for various girl-powered publications- she can be found mentoring young women, reading her favorite books, dancing to Beyonce and eating her way through Chicago.
What really resonated with me in this podcast was the idea of second chances… how you can always start over and redefine your future plans. L’Oreal shares her journey oF feeling burned out as an editor for Jet magazine and the life shift she made that eventually landed her in a media relations position at The Girl’s Scout. She chats how she embraced defining success on her OWN terms and why it’s important that everyone do so at some point.

There is definitely more than one way to be a dream driver!
