If you know your job isn't it anymore - but every time someone asks "so what do you actually want to do?" your mind goes completely blank, this episode is for you.


Maggie Blackburn is a portfolio career strategist who helps multi-passionate women redesign their careers from the inside out - and left her own decade-long tech career to prove it's possible.


She walks you through the exact exercises to figure out what you actually want, how to rewire the money mindset keeping you stuck, and how to start experimenting on the side before you ever have to quit.
