Most people aren't struggling to find opportunities because of their "qualifications"...
They're struggling because every time life falls apart…
they have to start from scratch all over again.
After my father passed away this week, I found myself thinking about relationships differently.
About community. About consistency. About how my father spent decades showing up at the flea market every Saturday - not because he needed something, but because those were his people.
And it made me realize how transactional a lot of us have become.
We wait until we:
• need a job
• need support
• need a referral
• need help
…before we reach out to people.
In this episode, I talk about the difference between networking and actual relationships, why hustle culture makes so many coaches isolated without realizing it and how every major opportunity in my career came through nurtured relationships - not cold applications.
I also unpack:
• why moving to Mexico didn’t magically make me feel free
• the identity shift that changed how I approach work
• what I learned watching 100 coaches apply for corporate coaching roles
• why only 10 got hired
• and why coaching is really a leadership skill more than anything else
If you’re trying to build meaningful work, transition into corporate coaching or stop feeling like you have to do everything alone…
this episode is for you.
🎧 Plus, I share why relationships are not emergency exits - and why the people who move differently in their careers usually build relationships differently too.
