We spend a third of our lifetime working, so naturally some of our triggers and sensitive spots get shown a light at some point in our careers. Sometimes, it gets worse before it gets better, so I wanted to dissect this a bit more about what it means to HEAL, grow and improve. I go deep into the psychology of success and achievement, communication, money and other fun work related triggers - and start questioning it, so we can all collectively heal.

Today on the show, I am thrilled to have Jody Levy, co-founder of Hopespring Holistic Health Institute, a new holistic wellness center based in Alfred, Maine which opened doors in December 2020. Before leaving her 30-year career in the corporate world to pursue her life purpose in holistic healing, Jody was a Fortune 500 Senior Executive in Strategy and Innovation, with a proven track record in strategically building new businesses. She went back to school in her mid-50's to pursue counseling, has fought and won an auto-immune disease and her story continues to be an inspiration to us all. 

Jody holds a Master in Social Work from Boston University, an MBA from Drexel's DeBow School of Business, and a Bachelors in Food Science from from Cornell University.

I'm 1 year out of corporate and I feel like I've transformed into an entirely different person. Tune in today to hear about some of the major shifts that I've made over the past year, and how my mindset has evolved from who I was before to where I am now. Having gone through this level of deep change and transformation, I know this is also available to you too! If you'd like some help with your journey, reach out to learn about the benefits of coaching.

Are you burnt out? Let's talk about it! What does it mean to be experiencing burn out? How do you recognize if you are suffering from it? How do you move forward from it? And as a reminder for mental health awareness month - it's OK to ask for help!

May is Asian American Pacific Islander Heritage Month AND Mental Health Awareness Month, and I thought I'd speak about what it means to being a minority in the room, in corporate America - for all those who identify with being the "firsts" and "only's."  Here I share a different perspective in how to reframe our thoughts and utilize our "differences" as leading edges. 

I'm sharing a few failed and cringe interviews, and also what NOT to do next time you're interviewing. 

Sharing one of my David and Goliath stories - when I was 27 and had to interview with the former CHRO of one of the large ride sharing apps. The hardest interview of my life and the lessons I've learned from it. 

Navigating a career transition can feel really daunting and confusing - and I'm talking about what goes on beyond just the resume and interviews. 

In this episode, I break down a couple of common patterns and themes that I have seen and noticed having coached over 150+ hours over the last year alone. Hoping this episode gives you insight and clarity in seeing your own unique situation. Long story short - you are not alone!

My first episode of my podcast series! :) How did a former hardcore corporate ladder climbing HR professional turn into a coach (and a podcast host!)? I too surprise myself sometimes. Here I talk about who I am, what's my drive in doing this, and how I intend to further my work through this podcast.
