Corporate life in 2025 isn’t playing by the same rules — so why are you still trying to succeed by the old ones?

In this high-impact episode, Nicole and AnnMarie are joined by powerhouse executive coach and founder of Rock Career Development, Julia Rock, to talk about what GenX professionals really need to navigate leadership, layoffs, and legacy in a workplace that’s constantly shifting.

Whether you’re tired of being overlooked, burned out from overperforming, or ready to reclaim your career on your own terms — this conversation is for you.

🔥 In this episode, we cover:

• Why self-leadership is the only kind that matters right now

• What GenX needs to unlearn about loyalty, titles, and “failure”

• How to rebuild after a layoff — and the most overlooked step

• Why it’s time to separate your identity from your LinkedIn headline

• How to recognize red flags before you accept your next role

• The difference between feeling stuck — and being stuck

Julia doesn’t sugarcoat it (she’s from Brooklyn, after all), but she does offer real, actionable guidance to help you move forward. Her message? You haven’t failed. You’ve just forgotten how much power you already have.
