For years, we’ve focused on the grind — specifically, how to stop hating Mondays and find fulfillment in our careers. But as the world has changed, our conversation has evolved.

In Season 2, we’re moving beyond the workplace to ask a much bigger question: Why are we still doing that?

We’re deconstructing the outdated traditions, unspoken rules, and internal scripts that keep us stuck. Join host Kent as we shift from career strategy to holistic self-understanding, building a life that you truly don’t need a break from.

What’s your advice for people who are being forced back into the office?

Q. As someone who was recently laid off and is now seeking a new position after 15 years, I want to approach the job offer process with a positive mindset. Could you please provide some key factors or considerations I should keep in mind when I inevitably get a job offer?
