Get Out Of Your Own Way!
In this episode of Career Gems for the Journey podcast, Leah C. Murphy, CEO of Career Gems for the Journey challenges you to take a hard look at what might be holding you back from reaching your goals—and spoiler: it might just be YOU.
With a blend of personal insights and practical advice, Leah dives deep into how ego, fear, and the “self-made” myth can stop you from tapping into the power of your network and community.
Key takeaways include:
💎 Get Out of Your Own Way: How ego and the fear of asking for help can keep you stuck and how to overcome it.
💎 The Power of Community: Why success is rarely a solo journey and how involving others in your vision creates a ripple effect of opportunity and support.
💎 Leverage Your Network: Strategies for reconnecting with trusted people in your network and asking for the help you need to move forward.
This is a reminder that while you are 100% responsible for your vision, you’re not meant to do it all alone. The myth of being “self-made” doesn’t reflect the true value of collaboration and community. By letting go of the barriers we build for ourselves, we open the door to support, resources, and connections that can transform our careers.
This episode is your call to action: ask for help, lean into your community, and—most importantly—get out of your own way to make your journey work for you!
