In this episode, we dive into something that’s been on my mind lately: are we really doing what’s best for us, or just sticking to the path of least resistance? Inspired by some glam rock and a bit of soul-searching, we’re exploring how we can shake things up—both in our careers and our lives.
If you’ve been feeling stuck, drained, or like you’re just “going through the motions,” this episode might be the nudge you need to start your own revolution. 🎸✨
*Footnote:*
After some reflection and my own personal revolution, I’ve decided to pause the podcast for a while. My clients need me now more than ever to help them take the next step in their careers, and I’m putting my focus there. I’ll be back when the time is right—stay tuned!
