Beyond The Next Move with Jyoti

When Angie started listing the signs of burnout, I told her she was describing me last year. Even now, with real estate, coaching and this podcast, I catch myself getting a little hit from adding one more task to the list. Angie Biln is a registered social worker, trauma-focused therapist and life coach with over 18 years of experience, and she’s back on the show to talk about what burnout actually is and what helps.

We get into the early signs to watch for, what’s happening in your nervous system when you’ve been running on stress for years, and why a weekend off or a vacation won’t reset it. We also talk about why a toxic job can feel so much like a toxic relationship, the grief and shame that can come after a layoff, and what to say (and stop saying) to a friend who’s burnt out.

For anyone worn down by their job, getting over a layoff, or trying to support someone who is.

The morning we recorded this, Stats Canada reported another 68,000 jobs lost in September, and women aged 25 to 54 took the biggest hit. I was laid off from an executive role last year, so headlines like that still stop me for a moment.

Sara McCready, founder of Illuminated Joy, is back to talk about what happens in your body when you read news like this, why high achievers feel job loss as shame, and how to process it before you rush into the next role. We also get into using AI for emotional support, fear-based news, and her Clarity, Confidence and Peace framework. She ends with one simple thing you can do this week.

For anyone who has been laid off, is supporting someone who has, or works in an industry going through cuts.

When my role as Executive Director of Operations was eliminated last year, everyone talked about the resume and the budget. Nobody talked about the grief.In this solo episode, I share what losing a job I didn't see coming really felt like, why so much of who I was had been attached to what I did, and why you can't skip the feelings and go straight to the job search. I also walk you through the circle of control exercise I used with my own coach and now use with my clients. It's simple, and it helped me see I still had more control than I thought.If you've been through a layoff, or you can feel one coming, this one's for you.Chapters0:00 Welcome0:20 The part of a layoff nobody talks about1:02 My role was eliminated2:28 When your job becomes your identity3:53 Why you can't skip the grief4:56 What helped me5:44 The circle of control exercise8:12 If you're going through this right now9:06 Wrap-upI'd love to hear from you.

Buying an Older, Village or Rural Home in Ontario

Love the house but worried about the well, the septic, the age, or heritage rules? I walk through the questions I keep hearing at my Caledon listing, and why unfamiliar doesn't mean problematic.

If Monday feels like a war zone before you’ve even walked through the door, this episode is for you.

Maybe it’s not the work you dread. Maybe it’s the meeting. The manager. The room where you feel watched, questioned, or like you have to defend every decision you make.

I’ve been there.

There was a point in my career when Sunday nights meant worrying about what Monday would bring. I liked my work and knew I was capable, but certain work environments slowly started affecting my confidence, my stress levels, and eventually my health.

In this episode of Beyond The Next Move, I talk about what that experience taught me, how to separate a bad environment from a bad career, and how you can start taking back some control over how you show up at work.

Sometimes the answer is changing your approach.

Sometimes the answer is leaving.

The first step is getting clear on what’s actually making Monday feel so heavy.

In this solo episode of Beyond The Next Move with Jyoti, I share why I stopped trying to choose between coaching and real estate, and what I learned from working with my own coach. Sharing my thoughts about career changes (planned or due to a layoff or restructuring), life transitions, and why slowing down before making a big decision can help you get clearer on what you actually want next.

In this solo episode of Beyond the Next Move, Jyoti reflects on the memoir Strangers by Belle Burden and opens up about the emotional and financial realities of divorce.

From property ownership and pre-nups to rebuilding financially after separation, this conversation explores the parts of relationships people often avoid discussing until life changes. As a realtor and coach, Jyoti shares why financial literacy, clarity, and understanding the systems behind your life matter just as much as love and trust.

In this solo episode of Beyond the Next Move with Jyoti, I break down one of the biggest shifts in Ontario real estate right now: the temporary (April 1, 2026–March 31, 2027) full 13% HST rebate on new construction homes.

If you’ve been debating between resale and pre-construction, this changes the math completely.

I walk you through:

• How HST on new builds worked before

• What the federal and provincial governments changed for first-time buyers in Ontario

• Real examples of how much you could save

• How to think about timing, strategy, and opportunity in this market

This is a practical breakdown of what this means for you as a buyer, and how to approach your next move with clarity.

If you’ve been on the sidelines, this might be the window that shifts your decision.
