Ep. 3: I'm sharing my career story! In this solo episode, you’ll hear the story of how I went from a successful career in advertising and burning the midnight oil, to quitting my job on a whim, taking a month-long yoga teacher training, moving across the country, working at running shoe store for 3 weeks, becoming a freelancer…and, well, you’ll just have to listen to hear how it all ends.

This is a story of changing careers in your 20s…and then shifting careers again in your 30s…as a mom. It’s a story of following both your head and your heart. And it’s a story of being okay with going against the grain and finding what truly makes you happy in those 40+ hours per week that you spend working (and away from your family).

Ep. 1: Becoming a parent can really shake up your career vision or the path that you had "planned".

As a Career Coach who works primarily with parents, I hear this question over and over: "If I'm going to spend time away from my family working, how can I find work that I love and feel passionate about?" 

To help answer this question, I created a workbook which I'll be walking you through in this episode. You are getting a very special behind the scenes peak into the process that I take my clients through when we begin coaching together.

Have a listen, and then take a few quiet moments to complete the free accompanying  5 Steps to Career Clarity workbook.
