Career Coaching in an AI World: Why Our Programs Haven't Changed23 Jun 202500:29:46

In a world full of algorithms and automation, it's easy to feel lost or wonder if your career path still makes sense. I hear you, and it's a question many are asking right now!

But here's the truth I've seen firsthand since 2011: While AI is changing the landscape, it can never replace the power of human connection, empathy, and purpose.

At Classy Career Girl, we don't chase fleeting trends. We equip you with timeless strategies and foster the "human skills" that are more valuable than ever: clarity, confidence, and the ability to build meaningful relationships. These are the skills that help you truly stand out.

I learned early on that real career security isn't about a paycheck; it's about being aligned with who you are and bravely pursuing your calling. That's why our programs, like Corporate Rescue Plan and Career Coach Certification, focus on building unshakeable foundations, not just quick fixes.

Want to discover your unique path and create a career that genuinely lights you up? Let's talk about how our proven frameworks can help you gain the clarity and confidence to thrive in 2025 and beyond.

How I Created Multiple Income Streams and How You Can Too!05 Nov 202200:26:21

A common misconception is that if you want to start a business, you have to quit your day job.

But, the truth is you don't have to quit without the income coming in consistently.

I worked on Classy Career Girl for 3 years before I quit my day job. At the time I quit, my business income had reached my day job income so I was safe to make the leap into entrepreneurship full-time!

I built up my business as a side hustle and worked on my passion project in the evenings and weekends. I even quit after 6 weeks of maternity leave and built my business with a baby on my lap! :)

One thing I learned very quickly is that when I had my day job, I needed to be able to generate multiple revenue streams quickly because I had very little time to work in my business.

So today on the Classy Career Girl Podcast, I'm outlining the steps I took to create multiple streams of revenue so I had consistent income to quit my day job.

In today's episode, I am sharing why creating multiple income streams is important. You'll learn how you can plan your launches for the year and how to prioritize your product ideas so you know which one to start with first.

I'll share 10 revenue sources that will help you create consistent recurring revenue and give you a sneak peek at our Magic Income Streams Course which is included in our 2022 Classy Career girl Black Friday Bundle!

Our sale starts Wednesday, November 9th! If you are on my email list you get a special discount for the pre-sale so make sure you go to and www.classycareergirl.com/freeplan and get on my email list and watch for my emails!

The Fastest Way To Get Started as a Career Coach14 Sep 202200:16:00

After 8 years at my company, I was stuck. I knew I wasn't in the right career for me but had no idea what to do next. So I started a blog sharing what I wish I would have known when I first started my career. I blogged and blogged and blogged until I decided enough was enough. I was quitting my job and had to start earning some money with my side hustle.

So I experimented with online courses, membership sites, books, speaking, events, sponsored posts, consulting and website advertising. And the one thing that I loved most was Career Coaching. I could make an impact on other women, answer their questions and schedule my work around my soon to be growing family. Because I was pregnant and was planning to quit my job after maternity leave. August 1, 2014 I submitted my resignation letter and the rest is history!

I created my dream job and in today's podcast episode, I'm sharing WHY I love career coaching so much. You'll learn the mindset behind becoming a career coach, what a career coach does and what career coaching sessions look like.

You'll also learn the fastest way to get started as a career coach and how I recommend getting your first clients. I'll teach you the tools I use to accept payment and set up my calendar. I'll also share some tools you can use to hold your career coaching sessions.

Why Career Coaching is the Most In-Demand Business Right Now03 May 202500:13:46

🚨 Calling all women ready for a purposeful, profitable business! 🚨

The workforce is shifting in a HUGE way. People are facing layoffs, burnout, and realizing they can't spend one more year in a job that doesn't light them up. They're feeling lost and NEED guidance more than ever before.

This isn't just a trend – in 2025, the demand for specific, results-driven career coaching is absolutely booming! Unlike general life coaching, career coaching provides tangible, measurable results: landing that dream job, successfully pivoting industries, or finally starting that business. It's practical, focused, and incredibly powerful.

And guess what? As women, we are uniquely positioned to lead here. We understand navigating tough transitions, we lead with both heart AND strategy, and the world desperately needs that support, encouragement, and a plan.

If you've ever thought, "I wish I could help people figure out their next step" or "I want to make an income doing something that matters," then starting a career coaching business could change your life, just like it changed mine back in 2014.

What Women Need To Know About Negotiating a Higher Salary (Replay)18 Jul 202200:38:05

Money is hard to talk about. You know salary is a topic that is going to come up so it's great to be prepared before you walk into your next interview.

Our guest: Heather knows first-hand the overwhelm and frustration of the job search. For the past 13 years, she has taught thousands of students how to build their personal brand so that they can land their dream job and succeed in the marketplace.

As an Academic Dean, she had the privilege of hiring hundreds of faculty members. Under her direction, her team surpassed student retention and program growth goals.

Since then, Heather has started her own business where she works one-on-one with her client's helping them find a career that brings true happiness and fulfillment. She is most active on her YouTube channel where she publishes videos every week about career guidance and new business development. On her downtime, this mother of 4 enjoys movie nights with her kids and group fitness classes at her local gym.

SOME QUESTIONS I ASKED: What are the steps involved to negotiate a higher salary? What are some mistakes people make when negotiating their salary? Is salary inequality a real thing? What do women need to know? What's the best way to find the average pay for the job you want? What about if you 've been in your job for a while, how do you negotiate? How can the tips you've shared relate to other areas of life? Buy a car or buy a home?

Daily Success Habits to Help You Achieve Your Goals (Replay)13 Jul 202200:16:29

Today, I am going to take you behind the scenes and share twelve things you can do for success and happiness every day.

Note, Disclaimer: I rarely do all 12 of these things. It is difficult to do one of these things every day!

But I try, and that is what is important. Some are better than none and I always have a better day when I do some of these.

I created this list about a few months ago after my daughter was born. I do not have the quiet or alone time that I used to have. But I try to get as many of these things as I can.

The days that I get to as many of these habits as possible I am happier.
