Do you struggle with feeling like you need more certifications or degrees to prove your worth at work? Do you find yourself gravitating toward isolation, convinced you can do everything on your own?
If you identify as an Enneagram 5, you’re not alone. These challenges are common for those who thrive on knowledge and independence but often struggle with their basic fear of being useless or incompetent.
This week, I am joined by my friend, Jaron, as he shares his personal experiences as an Enneagram 5. Listen as we dive into…

Do you find yourself making decisions based on how others will perceive you? Or you may find yourself performing to receive praise.
These are common traits of the Enneagram 3, “the achiever”, personality type, and with your career being a great place to find success, this mindset has likely influenced your professional journey. Is it possible it has even caused you to accept or turn down potential career opportunities in the past?
In this episode, we're exploring the nuanced challenge of navigating your career with this kind of personality. I’m joined by my friend, Barrett Raven, as we discuss:

Do you struggle with saying "no" at work? Do you often find it difficult to maintain healthy boundaries with your coworkers? As an Enneagram 2 who identifies with this "helper" or "giver" personality type, you're not alone. These challenges are common for people who feel driven to serve others, often at the expense of their own well-being.
This week we are continuing our series on the core career fears with the second episode. I am joined by my dear friend, Malee, as she shares her invaluable perspective as we dive into...

For many of us, feedback may not be something we look forward to or even seek out. That’s why, in this solo episode, I share why asking for feedback regularly—whether in the moment or weekly—is crucial for growth. I also discuss the reasons you might not be receiving feedback and how to change that by creating opportunities and seeking input from the right people. And finally, I’ll discuss how to manage your emotions after hearing feedback, using it as a tool to improve and serve others better.

Philippians 2:3-4
Matthew 20:28

That’s right, this week we’re looking at PROOF that you are uniquely gifted and talented. There are verses commonly used to explain gifts like Romans 12:3-8 and 1 Corinthians 12:4-11, but we wanted to discuss some less-commonly shared verses as well that support this truth that you are gifted in a unique, special, and helpful way.
Join us as we read through Exodus 31:1-6, Exodus 35:30-35, 1 Peter 4:7-11 in addition to Romans 12:3-8 and 1 Corinthians 12:4-11. In our discussion, we also emphasize that discovering your gifts is often a gradual process, not something that happens all at once or in some dramatic, grand way. We both also share our own personal journeys with understanding our gifts and how to use them. Perhaps you can relate to one of our stories, but either way, remember that God is continuing to work through you no matter how aware you are (yet) of these gifts.

It Isn’t Always God’s Will to Give You Clarity: It might sound crazy coming from two career coaches who talk to people every day about finding clarity, but this topic is much more nuanced than just having clarity and not having clarity. God’s will is for you to learn to exercise wisdom to steward the unique abilities, resources, and opportunities He has given you for His glory and the good of others.
God will ALWAYS give you wisdom (James 1:5) but not necessarily answers and/or a foretelling of the future or direct instructions on what exactly to do. This might be because He wants to increase your faith, and it also might be because you are free to choose in certain matters where more than one path is wise and God-honoring. In today’s episode, we discuss the “revealed” will of God and the hidden will of God and what to do when you don’t experience direct clarity on your given situation or career.

Finding your calling begins with discerning God’s will. But what really are your motives for seeking God’s will? It's easy to fall into a trap of self-preservation or self-promotion and let ulterior motives actually lead our discernment.
In this episode, we dive into the deeper motives behind seeking God's will in your career by discussing how to be careful of living over, under, for, or from God. We will dive into how each posture can distort our relationship with Him, and how seeking His will as a means of being with God is the best way to draw near to him and truly discern his will for your life and career.
