You might or might not believe in serendipity, or maybe you call it something else— chance, luck, or the will of God. But there are moments that change your life, work, or business forever.

Let's talk about that this week.

We often bring our work when we're on vacation, going through the weekend, or disconnecting. That's because we don't want the work to pile up when we get back or drop the ball when we're out of the office.

Let's talk about that and three helpful practices that will help you disconnect completely from work when you're on a break.

But is respect really something that fulfills? Or does the constant need to achieve and perform for others eventually wear us down?

In this episode, we dive into the often-overlooked dangers of unchecked career ambition. Explore the fine line between healthy ambition and toxic obsession.

Everyone wants to be successful. Many of us know how to become successful. The problem: not many of us know what success should look like.

In this episode, we dive into what true success really looks like and what goals you should be pursuing in 2024 (spoiler warning: you might be chasing the wrong ones).

Let's dive in!
