The Causey Consulting Podcast

Do artists have to starve before they "make it?" Are all creative jobs drying up? Is Gen X having a "career meltdown?" Or is everyone having a career meltdown?

Key topics:

✅ The world itself has changed so much since the 90s. How could the job market NOT change in that same span of time?

✅ Are you doing the same thing because you're stuck in a rut? Do you even enjoy what you're doing? Or is it like a familiar safety blanket?

✅ Are you living a cliche because you have bought into the stereotypes and limiting beliefs of others?

✅ Do you have a game plan if your corporate job disappears? 

✅ The human resources department is finna ta be the robot department. 

✅ If you are not your source, you are not free. Period.

When you're standing at the edge of a big life change—finding a new career, launching a creative dream, starting over—do you go all in and burn the ships, or do you build a long, sturdy bridge to ease the transition?

In this episode, I'll explore both approaches to change: the bold, no-turning-back leap and the thoughtful, strategic phase-out. Which one is braver? Which one is wiser? And is it ever really that black and white?

Have you ever been let down by someone who promised big but failed to follow through? In this episode, we’re diving into the psychology of flakiness—why people overpromise and underdeliver, and how it affects relationships, trust, and your own energy. We’ll explore whether it’s insecurity, avoidance, or something deeper. Plus, I’ll share my personal experiences with overpromisers, how I’ve learned to let go of false promises, and why surrounding yourself with sincere, “yes” energy people is a game-changer. Tune in for an honest, relatable discussion about recognizing flaky behavior, setting boundaries, and reclaiming your peace of mind.
