How does your career align with your values, and how do you even begin figuring that out? These are questions more of us have started asking this year, as we stop accepting career dissatisfaction and burnout as “just how it is” and re-evaluate our relationship to work.

In this episode, I share an approach to career recalibration that has really resonated with me, one that places less of a focus on identifying your core values and more on identifying the tangible pieces that are and are not working for you now. Establishing realignment with your purpose is no easy feat, but these three steps will have you on your way to a more resonant relationship with every aspect of your life.

Get ready to revel in radical acceptance as we walk through:

• The all-too-familiar circumstances that led me to a recalibration process that resonates
• Why so many of us are ready to start questioning the success status quo
• How to analyze your life with the four root causes of burnout
• And how to make small, manageable changes to reduce overwhelm in a big way

We've all heard about the "glass ceiling" women leaders face at the highest ranks of their careers. But there's a more significant barrier that contributes to the gender leadership gap: the "broken rung" of leadership. 

In today's episode I'm breaking down what the "broken rung" of leadership is all about and how we - as individuals and organizations - can disrupt the status quo, support emerging women leaders, and strive for gender equality in leadership together.

You've heard the "stat" before: men tend to apply for jobs when they meet only 60% of the qualifications and women only once they reach 100% of them. We're supposed to conclude that women simply need more confidence to stretch outside their comfort zone, right? 

Wrong. In today's episode, I'm diving into the details and breaking down why perpetuating this myth is so harmful.

I've spent the last 10 years helping women boss up - by getting hired, speaking up, and leveling up. I've worked with incredible organizations, activated allies, hell, I wrote the book on bossin' up and have been a featured speaker on stages across the globe. But still...it's not enough. 

In today's episode I'm sharing a big shift I'm navigating to make sure we're actually "lifting as we climb."
