Ever feel like your job is “fine”… but you’re secretly bored, drained, or wondering is this really it?

In this behind-the-scenes episode of Career Clarity Unlocked, career clarity expert Theresa White pulls back the curtain on a real coaching session with her client Heidi, a high-performing project manager who’s great at her job… but feels stuck in checklist mode.

Together, they uncover what’s actually missing: intellectual challenge, innovation, and meaningful impact.

Using the Sparketype® framework, Heidi’s results reveal two powerful drivers:

✅ The Scientist (problem-solver, strategist, pattern-finder)

✅ The Maven (lifelong learner, researcher, curiosity-fueled)

And once she names those strengths? Everything clicks.

By the end of the session, Heidi has a clearer direction, and realizes she doesn’t need to “start over.” She just needs a role that actually matches how her brain works.

1. How to spot when you’re underutilized, not underqualified
2. The difference between work that’s “stable” and work that’s fulfilling
3. The keywords that signal strategy + innovation roles (and how to search for them)
4. How to reframe your resume and LinkedIn so your real strengths stand out
5. The networking move that helps you find the right role faster (without begging)
