❓How do we find clarity when life feels messy, uncertain, or “behind schedule”?
❓What’s the difference between what we want and what we truly need — and why does that matter so much for success?
❓How do we move from being “ghosted” to actually growing in our careers?
So many conversations about success skip over the hardest parts: rejection, silence, confusion, and the quiet pressure to “have it all figured out” — especially in your 20s.
In this episode, we dive straight into all of it 🎯
Not only will you hear real talk from CQO Zip Nguyen on how she’s navigated these moments herself, but you’ll also hear raw, honest reflections from our Bloomers on what growth has really looked like for them.
No performance. No sugar-coating. Just grounded, proven guidance and perspectives that may help you rethink your journey and fuel your next step forward.
The full recording is now available for anyone who couldn’t attend or wants to revisit the conversation.
We’d love to hear what you’d like us to explore next in our Jan 17 live podcast event! Send us a DM on Instagram or LinkedIn 🤳
