  • This is Why You Feel Behind In Your Career (And How to Fix it Without Working Harder)

    You had big goals for this year. But now that we’re more than halfway through, you can’t help but feel behind. If you’re completely honest: You’re tired. Unmotivated. Unclear on what you’re even working toward anymore.

    If that sounds like you, this episode is exactly what you didn’t know you needed.

    You’ll learn:

    💎 How to assess your year the right way (and what not to do)

    💎 A gentler way to reset that doesn’t shame your progress this year

    💎 A powerful reframe to help you stop feeling behind in your career

    Whether you’ve been grinding nonstop or quietly drifting, this episode will help you get honest about what you want now and remind you that you haven’t missed your moment.

  • Is It the Right Role Or Just a Better Paycheck?

    Before you say yes just because the salary looks good…let’s pause.

    In this episode, I’m walking you through a no-fluff checklist to help you figure out whether the role you're considering is actually aligned with your life, goals, and values—or if it's just a better paycheck dressed up as progress.

    I’ve seen it too many times: high-achievers leave one job only to land in another they regret. You deserve more than just more money. You deserve a role that fits.

    Before you accept the next offer, press play.

    Want the Alignment Checklist I mentioned in this episode?

    Leave a quick review, take a screenshot, and DM it to me on Instagram @thenewemployees. I’ll send you all the questions I shared to help you properly vet your next opportunity before you accept the job offer so that you can step into a well-paid role you'll actually love.

  • Stop Doing This In Interviews, Here's What Hiring Managers Really Want

    You know the feeling…you’re in an interview or updating your résumé, and suddenly it feels like you’re awkwardly pitching yourself. You ramble. You over-explain. You hope they’ll just get it.

    If that sounds familiar, hit play.

    In this episode, I’m breaking down why that approach doesn’t work, and what hiring managers actually want to know in your job interviews instead. We’ll cover:

    • The biggest mistake most high-achievers make in interviews
    • What companies are really looking for (that no one teaches you)
    • How to stop overselling and start communicating your value with clarity
    • The 3-step framework I teach my clients to stand out and get hired

    If you’re done winging it and want to walk into your next interview with confidence and strategy, this is the episode for you.

  • How to Talk About Your Work When You Secretly Hate Your Job

    You’re great at what you do…but lately, you hate talking about it. You don’t feel excited or proud to talk about work.

    If that sounds like you these days, then this episode is going to change how you show up, for good.

    In today’s conversation, I’m breaking down how to confidently talk about your work…even if you secretly hate your job right now. 

    You’ll learn how to separate your value from the dysfunction around you, how to stop letting your company’s chaos dilute your impact, and how to speak about your experience in a way that opens doors for you—so that you can actually land a better job elsewhere.

  • You’re Great at Your Job, So Why Aren’t You Getting Hired?

    You’re the go-to person at work. You check off all—if not most—of the job descriptions before you even apply. You know you’d be a great fit for the roles you want.

    So why does it feel like no one else notices?

    In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on why high-achievers (like you) struggle to get hired, even when you're qualified, and how I help my private coaching clients change that with clarity, confidence, and strategy.

    We’ll dive into why being successful at work doesn't guarantee success in your job search, how to position yourself as a top candidate and what it actually looks like to work with me 1:1. 

    If you’re done winging it and ready for expert support to land a role you actually want, this one’s for you.

    You’ve been pushing through, telling yourself it’s just a phase, it’ll get better, maybe you’re just tired.

    But what if the truth is…you’ve simply outgrown your role?

    In this episode, I’m breaking down the signs that your job isn’t the right fit anymore (some obvious, some more subtle) and how to know for sure if it’s time for a change.

  • You’re Not Burnt Out...Here’s What’s Really Going On

    You’re exhausted. You’re over it. You’re starting to wonder if you’re just completely burnt out from work…

    But what if burnout isn’t the whole story?

    In this episode, we’re digging deeper into what burnout actually looks like and we’re uncovering a surprising truth: sometimes what you’re calling burnout is really something else. 

    If your job has you feeling unmotivated, uninspired, or constantly fantasizing about quitting, this is the reframe you didn’t know you needed.

    You’ll get to the root of what’s really going on, how to feel more energized now (yes, even in the job you currently have), and how to start mapping your next move with clarity and intention.
