Ever wondered if loyalty is keeping you stuck?

In this episode, I’m joined by former client Lara, who bravely reflects on three career design insights she never wants to forget. These are not surface-level tips—they’re hard-won truths shaped through deep experimentation and support inside our Fierce Emporium programme and 1:1 work.

We talk about:

1. The blurry line between loyalty and unhealthy boundaries
2. How your body knows the truth before your brain does
3. Why working on someone else’s passion will eventually drain you

Lara also shares her new direction—supporting people navigating grief while executing estates—and how she discovered her “fourth superpower” along the way.

If you’re in a season of stuckness, questioning what’s next, or need a gentle nudge to prioritise your kind of meaningful work, you’ll feel seen in this one.

Let’s design a workday (and a work life) that actually feels like you.

As we head into the festive season and spend more time with family and friends, there's one question that always seems to show up: "How’s work?" In this short episode, I share why that question is a total conversation killer—and what to ask instead if you want to spark a deeper, more joyful connection.

I’ll walk you through a simple but powerful question you can use at your next gathering, whether you're chatting to a burnt-out sibling, a newly retired uncle, or a friend who secretly hates their job. I’ll even show you how to ask it well—and why it can lead to unexpectedly beautiful conversations.

This one shift can bring more joy not just to their work, but to yours too.
