Have you ever felt lost after a major life shift, unsure where to go next in your career? 

That’s exactly where our client, Nathan, found himself after returning from missions work. With a background in engineering and a desire to serve, he didn’t know what direction to take... until one informational interview, and a single LinkedIn message, changed everything.

In today’s episode, you’ll hear how Nathan went from career confusion to landing a nonprofit role he’s genuinely excited about. This is more than a job search success story – it’s a lesson in clarity, obedience, and taking bold action.

Audrey and Nathan discuss:

• Why sending out hundreds of job applications wasn’t working for him

• How he used informational interviews to gain clarity and confidence

• The exact moment a LinkedIn message turned into a job offer

• How he landed a role at United Way (without a perfect resume)

• How our coaching program helped him take consistent action without burnout

  
  

Cheering you on,

Kelsey Kemp & Audrey Bagarus
