What if you could keep your 9-to-5 and still build something deeply meaningful on the side? In this episode, I sit down with Mateo Platsidakis, the founder of The Forward Kind, to talk about what it means to chase “more” out of life without blowing up everything you already have. Mateo’s story is one so many of us can relate to—a job he enjoys, but a sense that something important was missing, leading him to launch a brand built on mental health awareness, resilience, and community.

We dig into the power of side projects to not just fill the gaps in our lives, but to make us better—not only at work, but as people. Mateo’s journey shows how giving ourselves permission to pursue that “something more” can actually help us flourish in unexpected ways. We get real about grief, change, and why kindness (to ourselves and others) is absolutely non-negotiable if you want to keep moving forward through hard times.

If you’re looking for a reason to bet on your own “what if,” or just need a reminder that you’re not alone when things feel heavy—you don’t want to miss this conversation.

This week, we challenge one of the biggest myths out there—the idea that a traditional job is supposed to make you feel safe and secure. Have you ever caught yourself thinking, “If I just made more money, then I’d finally feel safe”? I unpack why that sense of security you’re searching for will never come from your job title, paychecks, or even the size of your bank account.

We’ll explore real stories and insights from a recent coaching call that illustrate how chasing external safety is a moving target—no matter how much you earn or what your circumstances look like, there’s always a new worry waiting around the corner. Instead, the real key is learning to trust yourself. I break down actionable ways you can start building genuine confidence and a sense of safety that comes from within, rather than hinging your peace of mind on an employer or career status.

If you’re tired of letting your sense of security depend on someone else’s decisions, this episode will give you the mindset shift you need. Let’s dig into why “playing it safe” is actually the riskiest thing you can do—and what to focus on if you want to create a career and life you can truly trust.

This week on Unstuck Career, I sit down with Corey Holzer, who’s right in the thick of a huge career pivot: taking the leap from a long military career into the private sector. We dig into his personal journey and the real, raw emotions that come with leaving behind the familiar—even when you know it’s time. Corey shares what first drew him to military service in the wake of 9/11, and he gets open about the identity shifts and doubts that bubble up as retirement approaches.

You’ll hear the hard-earned lessons Corey picked up about taking ownership of your career, whether that means advocating for your preferred role in the Army, riding the ups and downs of corporate layoffs, or navigating the confusing world of ATS resume scanners during a job search. He offers hands-on tips for anyone in transition: learning to translate military skills for the civilian world, asking the right questions, and not falling for scams preying on job seekers.

If you’ve ever wondered how to reinvent yourself after a major chapter closes—or want a behind-the-scenes look at the realities of military-to-civilian transitions—Corey’s story will resonate. We’re talking staying curious, mentoring others, and refusing to let setbacks define your worth. This is a must-listen if you want to know what it takes to get “unstuck,” no matter where you’re starting from.

This week, we welcome Connor Laurent to the show for a conversation about carving your own path when the traditional rules of career advancement just don’t fit. From day one in finance, Connor has been guided not by a rigid ladder, but by a mindset of treating every job like a subway stop. Sometimes it’s uncomfortable, sometimes surprising, and there’s always an opportunity for learning.

Connor shares the power of betting on yourself, even if no one around you quite understands your choices.

This week on Unstuck Career, I sit down with the remarkable Sarah Ausby for a raw and inspiring conversation about what it really takes to rebuild, reinvent, and get “unstuck”—even when life pushes you out of your comfort zone. Sarah doesn’t just talk about career pivots; she’s lived them. From being involuntarily released from her job after a series of personal losses, to experiencing homelessness, Sarah shares the real-life turning points that ignited her journey into entrepreneurship and authorship.

We dive into how Sarah transformed a season of hardship into opportunity—launching her own food business out of dire necessity and later discovering the world of writing and public speaking, eventually becoming an international bestselling author. She reveals how mindset was the game-changer, breaking down how faith, gratitude, and relentless persistence helped her go from survival mode to thriving. Plus, you’ll hear about the magic of saying “yes” before you know how, and the unexpected opportunities that come from being open to new connections (sometimes even at an airport shuttle stop).

If you’ve ever felt boxed in by circumstances or caught yourself thinking, “I’m too old” or “I don’t know how,” Sarah’s story will hit home. Ready for practical inspiration on how to reframe your setbacks as set-ups for your next big chapter? Tune in and get ready to believe “all I do is win.” Want to dive deeper into Sarah's work?

🌟 Are you feeling stuck in your career and worried about being "too old" to make a change? This week, we discuss why age is not a disadvantage but an invaluable asset in your professional journey!

Here are 3 key takeaways from this episode:

• Embrace Your Experience: Your years of experience are rich with transferable skills that are highly valued by employers. It's not about starting over; it's about leveraging what you've learned and what you can bring to the table.
• Mindset Matters: Shift your perspective from viewing age as a liability to seeing it as an asset. How you perceive your experience can significantly impact how you present yourself in job interviews and work environments.
• Overcome Possibility Blindness: The fear of the unknown often holds us back, not our age. Challenge that fear and ask yourself – what if you succeed? Take the steps toward your goals and see where your experience can take you.

Let's get you unstuck and unstoppable in your career. Listen to the full episode for more insights, and remember – it's never too late to pursue the career you desire!
