November 18, 2024 Reinvention
In this week's episode, I share my own journey of continuous reinvention in business, & why I believe it's actually natural &healthy to keep evolving our work - even (& ESPECIALLY) when we're in alignment with our purpose.
The truth is, when we commit to building an aligned career or business, we're also automatically signing up for ongoing reinvention.
Just like everything in nature is in constant motion, our authentic work needs to keep evolving as we grow.
If you've been feeling the nudge to shift & change things up in your business lately, this episode will help you understand why that's not just normal, but essential for your growth & continued alignment.

This week we are having a heartwarming and insightful conversation with two inspiring career changers, Julia and Alison, who were part of my previous Holistic Career Change Group program.
They share their personal stories of realizing their careers weren’t aligned with their true selves and how they navigated the often tricky process of making the shift. We dive into themes of self-discovery, breaking free from people-pleasing habits, and finding the courage to embrace new, authentic career paths.
We discussed:
how sensitive and people-pleasing individuals tend to merge with their environments, making it hard to know their authentic desires—especially when it comes to career choices.
Alison opens up about the judgments she had about her aligned career path.
Julia shares about considering several aligned paths & the importance of recognizing the right timing to focus on each.
how often the most aligned careers are right under our noses but can be hard to see.
that our innate gifts can sometimes feel like burden, but once we understand the dual nature of these gifts, they become powerful assets.
And Julia and Alison share the unexpected lessons and personal highlights they experienced during the Holistic Career Change group program.

October 14, 2024How Trauma Can Shape Your Purpose
The Holistic Career Change Group is now open for enrollment! This five-month program blends spirituality, strategy, community, and coaching to help women transition into careers that align with their authentic selves. You'll receive one-on-one support, group coaching, somatic work, astrology readings, financial planning, and so much more. It’s designed to help you uncover your career blueprint and make a smooth, financially sustainable transition. The group starts on 11/11.
Program details.
----------------------

In this week’s episode, we dive into a topic that may feel unexpected but incredibly important: how trauma influences our sense of purpose. We explore the often-overlooked duality of trauma, seeing it not just as a source of pain but also as a creator of gifts, strengths, and direction in life. I'll unpack how our deepest wounds can actually lead us to our soul's calling.
We will cover:
Trauma’s Role in Purpose: Trauma fragments us, but it can also help shape our character traits, gifts, and even our career paths. By understanding the patterns of our wounds, we can find deeper alignment with our purpose.
The Healing Process: Healing trauma can lead to growth and transformation, unlocking new gifts that can be part of our life’s mission. We explore how healing often becomes a gateway to identifying our soul’s purpose and collective contribution.
A Multifaceted View of Purpose: Purpose isn't just about what brings us joy; it's about embracing both light and shadow, joy and struggle. Trauma plays a critical role in shaping this journey, but it requires conscious and careful healing work.
Practical Steps to Identify Purpose: I provide a simple, trauma-informed exercise to help you start exploring your purpose through the lens of your life experiences. By reflecting on your skills and strengths born from trauma, you can find authentic paths that feel expansive and energizing.
A Holistic View on Trauma & Purpose: This exploration is not a one-size-fits-all approach. Everyone’s journey with trauma is different, and healing or finding purpose can look different for each individual.
Exercise Mentioned in the Episode:
Create a timeline of significant life events (positive and challenging).
Reflect on the skills and qualities developed through these experiences.
Identify which skills expand and energize you, and explore how they might be applied to a purposeful career.

September 02, 2024Are You a Lightworker?
In this episode, I explore the concept of lightworkers and how to recognize if you're meant for a healing career. It’s something that I get asked a lot, so I thought I might as well record an episode.
Here’s what I will cover:
What is a lightworker: understanding the soul-level calling to raise the planet's vibration and help humanity evolve.
Signs you might be a lightworker:
Feeling different or out of place
High sensitivity to energy and emotions
Strong desire to help and heal others
Attraction to spiritual and metaphysical topics
The lightworker's dilemma: feeling stuck in misaligned careers and recognizing the spiritual lessons in these experiences.
Four categories of healing careers: physical, mental, emotional, and energetic/ethereal.
How to know if you're meant for a healing career: Signs to look out for.
Common fears of aspiring healers and how to overcome them:
Not feeling qualified enough
Concerns about making a living
Fear of not being good enough
Age-related doubts
Worry about others' opinions
Practical steps for embracing your healing career:
Identifying your specific healing interests
Investing in education and training
Starting small
Connecting with other healers
Building an online presence
The importance of trusting the process and taking inspired action in your healing journey. Embracing a healing career is as much about personal transformation as it is about helping others.
My intention for this episode is to validate your experience & hopefully inspire you to lead with your lightworker essence & start taking action to build an aligned career.

June 03, 2024 Career Changer Series: Tech Consulting to Financial Coaching
In this week’s episode, I'm chatting with my amazing client Elizabeth about her incredible journey from high-flying tech consultant to heart-led financial coach.

We dive deep into the pressures she felt as a type-A eldest child to follow conventional success paths, even when her corporate job left her stressed and unfulfilled. Sound familiar? :)

Elizabeth shares how a surprising layoff during the tech downturn became a blessing in disguise, giving her the time and space to finally pursue her true calling - which had been right under her nose all along!

Together, we get real about the money mindset hurdles that can hold us back from investing in our dreams, and we share our favorite abundance beliefs to help you upgrade your wealth vibe.

Plus, Elizabeth spills the tea on how delicious life feels in her new purpose-fueled career - from waking up excited to enjoying networking (which was a big surprise for her!)

Hope this episode will serve as a healthy dose of inspiration to fuel your own career change journey!
