Coming in at #7 on our Top 12 Listener Favorites is the episode that feels even more relevant now than the day it aired: How To Craft Your Professional Brand.

In the age of AI, your voice and your story are your edge. When applications can be generated in seconds and resumes start to sound the same, your differentiation comes down to you—your voice, your perspective, and how clearly you show up.

This season of The Flourish Careers Podcast is part celebration and part reset. We're revisiting your top 12 most-loved episodes! Coming in at #8 on our Top 12 Listener Favorites is my conversation with career coach Yolanda Owens—an episode that keeps finding new listeners because the discomfort around money talk hasn't gone away. It's just evolved. ✨  Salary transparency is still one of the most emotionally charged topics in the workplace.  

🥂 To celebrate these most loved episodes, I'm giving away a complimentary In Season planner! 

P.S. This is for US-based listeners only (I learned a lesson the hard way that shipping internationally doesn't work 🫠). Also, this giveaway is for 2026 only (in case you're listening in the future).

Here’s to your next best season 🌿

Welcome back to the Top 12 Listener Favorites Countdown! #9 is one of the most personal episodes in the entire catalog. This is the very first episode of The Flourish Careers Podcast, and it's rooted in my own story. The moments in my career where, on paper, everything looked right… But internally, something felt off. That realization of "This works… but it doesn't feel like me anymore."

This is something I wish I thought about earlier in my career: our careers move in seasons, just like nature. 🌿

Not every season is meant for constant growth, visibility, or pushing harder (despite what society tells us). Some seasons ask us to reflect or rest, release, or begin again.

In the Season 11 finale of The Flourish Careers Podcast, I’m reflecting on why feelings like uncertainty or restlessness are often signals that a season is changing—not signs that you’ve failed.

Join me to discuss:

→ what each career season can feel like

→ how to recognize the season you’re in

→ and why the moments that make you question everything are the ones guiding you somewhere new 💛

I’ll be back in a few weeks for Season 12 with something a little different for summer… and I can’t wait to share it with you 🌟

There are certain books that arrive at exactly the right moment in your life.

For me, Die Empty by Todd Henry was one of those books. Years ago, when I was rethinking work, purpose, and how I wanted to spend my energy, it became part of a much bigger shift in my career story.

Needless to say, having Todd on the podcast felt incredibly meaningful, and in this conversation, I get to share that story with him.

We talk about creativity, resilience, and navigating uncertainty, including the night in 2007 when he almost walked away from it all, his reframing of what passion really means, and the through-line he's discovered running through his entire body of work.

I have a feeling Todd's perspective will stay with you long after this one ends.

Last week, Jenny mentioned co-creating with the universe, and when she said it, I jotted it down. Because when I look back at the creation of the In Season planner, that's exactly what it was.

In this episode, we're talking about the signs, synchronicities, and divine winks that showed up again and again throughout the process...from angel numbers to bees, bears, and a Little Women moment that brought me to tears. There were so many that I couldn't ignore them, and they made me believe the In Season planner was never meant to be created alone.

If you've ever wondered whether the universe is nudging you forward, this one's for you ✨
