Should you change jobs or change companies? And how do you protect your time at work without feeling guilty? In this Q&A episode, I answer two powerful questions submitted by listeners. 

The first question dives into a major career decision: whether to change jobs within your current company or look for new opportunities elsewhere. I share practical steps for making this decision, including how to assess your skills, talk to your manager, and prepare for a new role.

The second question is all about saying no at work —  without guilt. I share strategies for clear communication with your manager, setting healthy boundaries, and protecting your time and energy.

✅ How to decide if you should change jobs or change companies

✅ How to assess your skills for a new role
