95. Finding Career Alignment with Confidence with Gillian Cabanski

1 hour 7 minutes

What happens when you build something incredible, but still don’t feel connected to your own success?

In this episode, I’m joined by Gillian Cabanski, VP of Marketing and Education at orthobrain, for a really special conversation about career growth, self-worth, leadership, and coming back to yourself at work. Gillian is not only a brilliant marketing leader who has built brands across industries, she’s also a former coaching client of mine.

We trace Gillian’s career from luxury accessories to publishing, and on to dental industry startups. Along the way, Gillian opens up about burnout, postpartum, losing confidence, and the moment she realized she needed support in understanding her worth, advocating for herself, and leading in a way that felt more authentic.

A big part of this episode centers on the work we did together through coaching, to help her articulate her personal brand and build a clearer filter for career alignment. Gillian shares how that clarity helped her ask better questions, evaluate opportunities differently, and choose a role where she feels valued, trusted, and able to lead as herself.

This conversation is for anyone who has ever achieved a lot on paper while quietly wondering, “Why don’t I feel like myself?” It’s a reminder that sustainable success is not just about what you’re capable of doing. It’s about finding the right fit between your strengths, your values, your environment, and the work that allows you to thrive.
