Job searching is tough! Especially without one thing.

Balance.

It’s easy for us to fall into the trap of focusing exclusively on job searching while neglecting all other aspects of life. 

But this imbalance creates more anxiety. You lose that essence of you. It creates that feeling of desperation that potential employers can sense. 

And that is a cycle that’s tough to break.

So mastering balance is key. 

With balance, you can show up for your interviews as your best self, full of confidence and optimism.

But that is easier said than done. So how do we reach that balance?

Listen to find out!

Our special guest in this episode is Peter Callahan. 

Peter is a certified leadership coach, a career coach, and a mindfulness teacher. 

Get ready to uncover: 

We’ll also dive deep into Peter's own journey of discovering his life’s purpose.

If you’re ready to master balance and land your next role–listen! This episode is for you.
