I’ve talked extensively about how your career or job shouldn’t be your only sources of personal fulfillment or identity. But, if you work a traditional 9-5 job, you spend a lot of time at work, so you should be doing something that feels aligned to your passions and values. That’s why I invited my friend Karen Weeks to talk us through what it looks like to pivot your career so you can actually look forward to going to work!

Twenty years ago, Karen made a career change from theatre to HR and more recently to Coaching and never looked back!  Her purpose is guiding individuals to get unstuck from a career that is draining them and transform their careers so they can feel the same renewed energy she did all those years ago.  Karen is the Founder & Principal Coach at KDW Coaching, the host of “Getting off the Hamster Wheel” podcast, a speaker, published author, Girls in Tech NYC board member and award winning culture leader (currently leading the People team at Ordergroove).  She lives in NYC with her husband and furry babies.

Welcome to the Wake Up Call Podcast with Alicia Hopkins (that’s me!). I work in corporate sales by day and am a personal development guru and Life Coach by night. My goal in this podcast is to share valuable and actionable tips on what I call the “Core Four” - mindfulness, movement, habits, and growth - so you can build a life that feels true to you. I will be interviewing people who have had a “wake up call” that their good-on-paper life wasn’t lighting them up, and what they did to change that. Join us every week for a new episode of the Wake Up Call Podcast with Alicia Hopkins!
