July 20, 2021 47. Daily Presence and a Long-term Vision: Your Career Needs Both
Having a long-term, embodied vision for your life and career is what enables you to make the small, daily choices that are right for you.
Without being present enough to notice what your intuition is telling you throughout your daily life, it’s difficult to create a career that feels meaningful and rewarding.
We need daily presence AND a long-term vision guiding us. These two polarities keep us aligned and grounded.
In this episode, I’m sharing:
* The major invitations and wisdom of the Mid-Summer season
* How you know when a vision is right for you and how to cultivate it
* My own long-term vision for this podcast and my business, A Wild New Work
* How having a vision can make your daily life so much richer and more purposeful

June 07, 2021 46. Tune In and Enjoy a Self-directed Career
It’s very difficult to build a career that’s congruent with us on a deep level if we’re not regularly tuning in to our inner wisdom. We can offer ourselves wholeness and integration each time we create added space to tap into the frequency that connects us to our larger selves, and this tapping in can take us to amazing places in our lives and careers.
In today’s episode, I share:
* The invitations and big questions that come up in this shift from late Spring to early Summer
* What it means to “tune in” and why it’s so important
* Ways you can create more space for your inner guidance system
* How the act of tuning in can enable you to create a career that you deeply enjoy

May 25, 2021 45. Is There a Problem if I'm Not Obsessed with Work?
Today’s episode is the second in a new podcast format I’m experimenting with alongside our regular episodes on the natural world and work.
This episode is an anonymous coaching session with “Claire,” a graphic design professional who’s hungry for a more balanced relationship to work. Claire and I discuss what a healthy relationship with work looks like, why it’s okay to not be “obsessed” with work, and what’s possible when we give ourselves time and space to just be.

May 11, 2021 44. Expertise v. Wisdom and How to Cultivate Both
In this week’s episode, I’m exploring the differences between expertise and wisdom, and how they can support you in your professional life. By learning more about the mid and late Spring seasons, we can see more clearly what it takes to be working people who are both experts in their desired work but also wise contributors to the ecosystems around them. Specifically, we cover:
* The mid and late Spring archetypes of Taurus and Gemini
* What’s helpful and unhelpful about the concept of “expert”
* What it means to be wise
* How to cultivate both expertise and wisdom in a healthy way

April 27, 2021 43. Sitting With and Moving Through Option Overwhelm
Today’s episode is a special one. It’s the first in a new podcast format I’ll be experimenting with alongside our regular episodes on the natural world and work.
This is the first in an experimental series of recorded, anonymous coaching sessions with members of the A Wild New Work community. Today, I’m sharing a session I conducted with “Azalea,” a professional in the technology sector who is at a crossroads and unsure of where to head next. Azalea has been at her job for 16 years and was recently diagnosed with autism, which has offered her a new way of seeing herself and her career. Tune into our session to learn more about what it’s like for her to be in the midst of a mysterious change and how she’s choosing to move through it.

April 06, 2021 42. Work Helped Me Heal
In today’s episode, I’m drawing back the curtain and sharing what it’s been like to find and develop my vocation. Through cycles of failure, pain, reconnection and empowerment, I’ve spent the last 14 years falling apart and coming back together again.
