  • S04E02: For Those Who Need Help Defining Their Path Forward
    May 6 2025

    Ever been asked, “Where do you want to be in 5 or 10 years?” and your brain just… blanked? Yeah, most people have that reaction — and honestly, it’s not your fault. In this episode, I’m sharing a real-world, no-fluff process I’ve used with tons of people to help them figure out what they actually want from their career (and life), even if they’re starting from zero.

    I’ll walk you through the exact steps that helped me go from burnout and confusion to building a career I’m proud of — and how you can do the same.

    Here’s what we’re getting into:

    • Why it’s totally normal to not know your “dream job” (and how to start figuring it out)
    • A simple framework to help you discover your why
    • The truth about full-time jobs, freelancing, and starting your own thing — and what fits you best
    • How to tell if you’re more of a generalist or a specialist (and why it matters)

    If you’re feeling stuck, unmotivated, or just ready for something new, this episode is your starting point. You might be one conversation away from a new vision for your life — let’s make it this one.

  • S03E08: Office Politics Playbook: If You Dread Mondays, This One’s for You
    Apr 22 2025

    Everyone has heard the saying "People don’t leave bad jobs, they leave bad bosses." but what happens when it’s not just the boss…it’s the whole damn system?

    In this episode, we pull back the curtain on toxic workplace politics. The kind of slow-burn dysfunction that erodes trust, kills morale, and leaves high performers doubting their worth. From weaponized company values to gaslighting, from cult-like cliques to weaponized positivity, we’re breaking down the eight most toxic politics that are quietly ruining the modern workplace.

    Here’s the uncomfortable truth: no company is perfect. There are no unicorns, just different flavors of dysfunction. So how do you figure out which “brand of BS” is tolerable for you? When do you know it’s time to walk away?

    🧠 What’s in it for you?

    ✅ A breakdown of the 8 most toxic political behaviors in modern organizations
    ✅ Real-world examples of how these behaviors show up—subtly and overtly
    ✅ Strategies to emotionally protect yourself while you plot your exit
    ✅ Permission to prioritize your health over the illusion of loyalty
