From PhD Engineer to Sacred Sound Artist with Mokshajyoti27 Apr 202601:18:20

In this episode, Mokshajyoti shares her journey from structured engineering career to sacred sound artist and somatic self-expression coach — and what it really took to come home to her voice, her body, and her purpose.

We discuss:

  • Leaving a masculine-driven engineering career and the cost of staying misaligned
  • The health issues that surfaced when her identity no longer matched her soul
  • Surrendering to the universe and trusting the unfolding
  • Breaking generational cycles through somatic, trauma-informed work
  • Stepping into her identity as a sacred sound artist
  • The unique frequency every voice carries — and what happens when we let it out
  • Balancing masculine and feminine energies in life and work
  • Why authentic expression and human connection matter more than ever in a rapidly changing world
  • Self-care, healing, and the ongoing evolution of purpose

The Job Security Myth Is Dead - Here’s What to Focus on 2026 and Beyond13 Apr 202600:39:52

🧿 Schedule a 30 min alignment call 🧿

In this episode I'm getting into something that's been living in my chest for a while — the job security myth is officially on its death bed, and the only real security left is knowing how to turn who you are into income that belongs to you. 

I break down why updating your resume won't fix an identity crisis, what's actually keeping brilliant women stuck, and the three questions to ask before you send one more application.

3 questions to get clear on right now:

  1. What do you actually own? Separate your gifts, your way of seeing, your specific genius — from the container your employer gave them.
  2. What problem are you excited to solve that people will pay for — outside of your current structure? Stop asking what you should do. Ask what happens when people are in your world.
  3. Where is the identity gap? Has your work caught up with who you've become — or are you still trying to fit into something two sizes too small?

The 'Shadow Side' of Career Change31 Dec 202000:37:32

I wanted to start off the Holistic Career Change Podcast on a sobering note by cutting through all of the repetitive career change advice you are probably sick and tired of hearing and introducing you to what I coined as the 'shadow side' of career change.

Having gone through my own career change journey and having supported many of my clients, I found that there are three intangible factors that need to be addressed for a career change to be successful.

Tune in to learn what these are.

Authenticity, Self-Acceptance, and Building a Business as a Multipotentialite with Rebecca22 Jul 202501:21:48

In this week's episode, I'm joined by Rebecca, a graduate of my Holistic Career Change group program, who shares her powerful transformation from people-pleasing perfectionist to someone who makes aligned decisions through her body's wisdom. Rebecca opens up about being a "serial class taker" with too many interests and no clarity, and how a vivid childhood memory shaped years of climbing the professional ladder solely for approval and validation.

We explore Rebecca's journey of learning to tune into her "loud body" as an internal navigation system, discovering her identity as an emotional projector, and shattering limiting beliefs about being bad at decision-making and never finishing things. 

She shares practical insights about setting boundaries at work, asking for help, overcoming shiny object syndrome, and building self-awareness to course-correct when slipping into old patterns. Rebecca also discusses launching her beautiful multipotentialite business, moving through comparison mode, and learning to build an aligned venture in strategic phases while honoring how all her past experiences now weave together perfectly to support her new path.

Rebecca is the Creator, Editor, and Curator of Compassionate Contrarian, a website and blog dedicated to cultivating knowledge and power in changemakers, wellness seekers, and curious souls.

Join the waitlist here for my free Archetype Quiz and be the first to get access when it launches. 

In this episode, I'm diving deep into one of the biggest traps I see those who want to move into healing careers fall into - confusing curiosity with alignment.

I'm breaking down the four healing pillars that structure the entire healing arts world, sharing why traditional business advice becomes toxic for lightworkers, and introducing the concept of lightworker archetypes - your unique healing essence that should be the foundation of how you build your business, not an afterthought.

Human Design: Beyond Mind Candy with Kat Smith26 May 202501:26:13

In this episode, I dive deep into Human Design with a Human Design initiator Kat Smith, exploring how understanding your energetic blueprint can transform your career path. 

We'll Cover:

  • Why Human Design feels inaccessible and how to cut through the confusion
  • The difference between teaching Human Design vs. living it 
  • How each energy type can build aligned businesses and careers
  • Why your decision-making authority matters more than knowing your "purpose"

Common Human Design Mistakes:

  • Getting caught up in "mind candy" like incarnation crosses before living the basics
  • Trying to hack your purpose instead of following strategy and authority
  • Learning from uncertified teachers who teach their personal truth vs. the mechanics
  • Focusing on what your design means rather than how to live it daily

Practical Applications for Careers:

  • Authority as your compass: Check in with your decision-making mechanism before posting, pricing, or taking clients
  • Energy management: Understanding your consistent vs. inconsistent energy centers
  • Authentic attraction: Cleaning up your frequency attracts your specific people
  • Timing everything: Emotional beings need time, splenic beings trust instant knowing

Reflection Questions:

  • Am I making decisions from my mind or my authority?
  • What does my body want to do today?
  • Am I trying to be someone else's version of success?
  • What would following my authority look like in my business decisions?

ABOUT KAT:

Kat is a Human Design Educator, Shamanic Practitioner, Cacao Medicine Ceremonialist, Orgasmic Preacher, Peaceful Role Model, Voice of the New Awareness. She offers Heart-led & Human Design-informed spaces and education for others to find their peace and understanding in the same way she has.

Death & Rebirth12 May 202500:35:11

In this episode, I explore the profound cycle of death and rebirth we experience during career transitions. Learn why letting go of old identities is essential before you can fully step into your new path and how resisting this natural cycle keeps you stuck in limbo.

What We'll Cover:

  • How nature's wisdom teaches us to embrace both death and rebirth
  • The biological parallel of apoptosis (programmed cell death) in our personal transformations
  • Why you can't fully bloom in your new season without releasing the old

Signs You're Stuck Between Identities:

Clinging to Past Status

Introducing yourself by your former title

Checking your old company's updates obsessively

Keeping your corporate ID "just in case"

Hiding your current financial reality while comparing to past income

Using Safety Mechanisms

Endless credential collecting before launching

Perfectionism preventing you from publishing your work

Maintaining unnecessary backup plans

Comparing your beginning to others' middle chapters

Making Decisions from Fear

Setting prices based on old industry standards

Taking clients who drain your energy but validate your old identity

Constantly moving the legitimacy goalpost

Exhaustion from maintaining dual identities

Reflection Questions for Your Journey:

  • Are you experiencing physical symptoms of being in liminal space (insomnia, anxiety)?
  • Do you speak of your new path in present tense ("I am") or future tense ("I'm hoping to")?
  • What parts of your previous identity serve as your "backup plan"?
  • How does your calendar reflect your true priorities and identity?
  • What would complete surrender to your new path look like?
  • Are you making decisions from abundance or scarcity?
  • Is your nervous system sp
  • What would your future self lovingly tell you to let go of right now?

Just as nature flows through its seasons without resistance, you too can embrace both the winter of letting go and the summer of full bloom in your career evolution.

Getting Intimate With Your Finances Before You Pivot14 Apr 202500:57:09

The Holistic Career Change Group Program is now open for enrolment!

Thinking about making a big career move… but freaking out about the money part? You’re not alone — and you’re definitely not irresponsible. In fact, this might be the smartest time to look your finances in the eye and get radically honest about what you want, need, and are capable of building.

In this episode, I’m joined by a Money coach & maven Elizabeth Michelle, who brings the kind of grounded clarity that makes spreadsheets feel like self-care. 

Together, we unpack:

💸 How to prep for a career transition without going into panic mode
💸 The financial blind spots most career changers never see coming
💸 How to give yourself permission to earn less temporarily — without spiraling into shame
💸 What a “money date” actually looks like (and how to start one this week)
💸 How to build financial strategy that supports your nervous system AND your dreams

Plus, we dive into why this economic climate might actually be the best time to pivot — if you do it from a place of clarity, self-leadership, and alignment.

✨ If you’ve been circling the question “Can I afford to do this?” — this episode is your yes, your plan, and your energetic permission slip.

ABOUT ELIZABETH

Elizabeth is a Money Coach who helps mid-career women in their 30s and 40s—especially the ones who’ve done everything “right” on paper but are craving something very different—get their finances in order so they can make bold career and life moves without money holding them back.

Her coaching blends real-world tools, deep money mindset work, and a no-judgment vibe that makes space for intuition, clarity, and actual results. She’s here for the women ready to break the rules, trust themselves, and fund the life they’re meant to live.

Belief Makeover: the make-or-break factor in your career (and life)24 Feb 202600:51:59

📝 Thought work mini course 📝

🧿 Schedule a free career audit 🧿

In this episode, I’m sharing the one practice that has consistently changed the trajectory of my life: intentional belief work. I talk about why we feel stuck, why we self-sabotage, and how unexamined thoughts quietly recreate the same results over and over again. Using my garden analogy, I explain why we can’t expect new dreams — careers, businesses, goals — to grow if we haven’t prepared the soil first. This isn’t about toxic positivity or bypassing real challenges; it’s about expanding agency where we can and taking responsibility for the beliefs shaping our reality.

I also walk you through the simple 3-step thought work process I personally use:

  • Step 1: Thought Download – Write out everything you’re thinking about a specific topic (no filtering, no judging).
  • Step 2: Run the Model – Identify one heavy thought, look at the feeling, actions, and results it creates, then choose a new believable thought that leads to a different outcome.
  • Step 3: Cultivate – Reinforce and practice the new belief until it becomes your new baseline.

If you’re tired of feeding your inner gremlins and ready to create different results, this episode is your reminder that when we shift our thoughts, we shift our lives.

What if I Fail?31 Mar 202501:03:42

Join the waiting list for The Holistic Career Change Group Program

In this episode,I unpack the paralyzing fear of failure that often holds us back from making meaningful career transitions and discovering our true path.

Why Fear of Failure Feels So Massive:

  • Psychological Factors: Identity attachment, loss aversion, uncertainty intolerance, and perfectionism
  • Social Factors: Fear of judgment, comparison to others, and cultural expectations
  • Cultural Considerations: How different cultural backgrounds create unique pressures around career choices
  • Practical Concerns: Financial vulnerability, time investment, and perceived skill gaps
  • Energetic Impact: How fear disrupts our natural flow and blocks our intuitive wisdom

Sacred Perspective Shifts:

  • The Parental Wisdom Test: What would you advise your own child to do?

Your Stuckness Is Serving You24 Mar 202500:38:42

Join the waiting list for The Holistic Career Change Group Program

Feeling stuck in an endless cycle of excitement followed by procrastination in your career change journey? This episode reveals the hidden psychological mechanism keeping you trapped. We explore why your resistance to change isn't about laziness or poor time management—it's serving a deeper purpose you might not even recognize.

Every time you promise yourself this will be the week you make progress on your new career path, only to find yourself making excuses days later, you're experiencing an inner conflict between parts of yourself that want growth and parts that need safety. This tug-of-war consumes enormous energy, leaving you exhausted despite taking little action.

The solution isn't more willpower or better time management techniques. Instead, we need to uncover what emotional payoffs you're receiving from staying stuck. Are you protecting a familiar identity? Avoiding potential rejection? Meeting connection needs through current relationships? Once you identify these hidden benefits, you can find healthier ways to meet the same needs while still moving forward.

I share some journaling prompts to help you uncover your specific emotional payoffs and offer alternative strategies to meet those same needs in ways that support rather than hinder your growth:

  • What specific aspects of your current situation feel most challenging or uncomfortable?
  • How long has this pattern been present in your life?
  • What previous attempts have you made to change this situation?
  • How does staying in this situation reinforce your identity or how you see yourself?
  • Are there any aligned choices your current situation gives you "permission" to make?
  • How might your current situation be protecting you from something you fear?
  • What might feel safer about remaining in discomfort than stepping into growth?
  • How does your current situation connect you to important people in your life?
  • What family or generational patterns might you be participating in through your current circumstances?
  • What needs are being met through your current situation, where you remain 'stuck'?
  • How can you meet those needs in alternative healthy ways?

Late Career Bloomers17 Mar 202500:51:59

Join the waiting list for The Holistic Career Change Group Program

In today's episode, I share inspiring career transition stories that I hope will inspire those of you considering or currently navigating your own transitions. These stories highlight that significant career changes can happen at any age, & that our past experiences often prepare us for unexpected future paths.

Some takeaways:

  • Previous careers & experiences build valuable transferable skills
  • Personal frustrations can often lead to identifying meaningful opportunities
  • Fresh perspectives can be an advantage when entering established industries
  • Authenticity and persistence are crucial elements for successful transitions
  • There's no expiration date on finding your aligned career path

Featured career changers:

Vera Wang

She didn't design her first dress until age 40, after careers as a figure skater and Vogue editor for 17 years. When planning her own wedding and feeling frustrated by available options, she created her own dress, which sparked the idea for her business. Her previous fashion industry experience gave her unique insights despite having no formal design training, leading to her billion-dollar empire.

Martha Stewart

Martha transformed from a model to a Wall Street stockbroker before starting a catering business from her basement at 35. She published her first book at 41 and eventually became America's first self-made female billionaire at 58. 

Diane von Fürstenberg

After creating her iconic wrap dress in the 1970s, von Fürstenberg faced significant setbacks and had to step away from fashion in the 1980s. She later rebuilt her brand in her 50s, proving that careers can have multiple chapters and that comebacks are possible at any stage.

Colonel Sanders

At 65, when most people retire, Sanders lost his restaurant to an interstate bypass. Instead of giving up, he traveled the country pitching his chicken recipe, facing 1,009 rejections before his first success. He ended up building KFC into a thriving business by his mid-70s.

Embracing Your Multi-Passionate Weird Self03 Feb 202500:14:30

In today's short & sweet episode, I'm diving into something fascinating I've been noticing in my conversations with career changers, especially those called to lean into the magic of being multi-passionate. If you've ever felt torn between multiple interests or worried that your diverse passions don't "fit" together, this episode is your permission slip to dream bigger.

I'm sharing why your unique combination of interests isn't just random – it's your soul's signature, and how to transform these seemingly unrelated passions into a thriving, authentic business.

What we’ll chat about:

  • Why trying to choose just one path feels like cutting off a part of yourself
  • How to merge your different passions into unique service offerings
  • An example of combining fashion styling with spiritual healing
  • Why your "too exotic" combination might be exactly what the market needs

🌟 Quick Exercise to Unlock Your Unique Offer:

  1. List ALL your interests (no filtering!)
  2. Play with unexpected combinations
  3. Ask yourself: What offering would YOU want to purchase?
  4. Notice what combinations light you up

💫 Remember: You're not here to fit into existing boxes – you're here to create new ones. Your diverse interests are soul gifts waiting to create something entirely new together.

Want to share your unique combination of passions with me? DM me on Instagram and tell me what unexpected merger of interests makes your soul sparkle! ✨

Have a magical week! 🌙

Making a Quantum Leap in Your Career Transition20 Jan 202500:29:53

Hey beautiful souls! Happy 2025! 🎉

In today's episode, I'm diving deep into one of the most common questions I get from eager career changers: "How do I speed up my career transition?" If you're feeling stuck in a misaligned job and desperate for change, this episode is for you!

I'm sharing a powerful perspective that has helped my clients significantly cut down their transition time - the secret of identity-first transformation. Instead of focusing on the traditional bottom-up approach, I explain why starting with identity-level change can create quantum leaps in your career journey.

What You'll Learn:

- Why the traditional gradual approach to career change fails for 90% of people

- How to use Robert Dilts' Logical Levels of Change framework to transform your career

- A real-life example of how my client Jessica used this approach to transition from software development to Traditional Chinese Medicine

- Practical steps to embrace and embody your new professional identity before external validation

🔮 Robert Dilts' Pyramid of Change (From Top to Bottom):

1. Spirit/Purpose - Your ultimate "why"

2. Identity  - Who you believe you are

3. Values & Beliefs - What's important to you

4. Skills/Capabilities - What you can do

5. Behaviors - Actions you take

6. Environment - Physical surroundings

Start your transformation at the identity level, and watch how everything else naturally aligns to support your journey! 

🌟 Reflection Questions for You:

- Who are you becoming? (What identity are you claiming?)

- What does this person believe?

- What does their typical day look like?

- What environments do they thrive in?

Remember: Your transformation doesn't start with updating your LinkedIn profile - it's about becoming the person you're meant to be. When you step into your authentic identity first, everything else naturally falls into place.

Want to share your journey with me? DM me on Instagram or use the link in the show notes to tell me what identity you're stepping into. Not who you're trying to be, but who you already are at your core. 

Have a magical week ✨

The truth is, when we commit to building an aligned career or business, we're also automatically signing up for ongoing reinvention.

This week we are having a heartwarming and insightful conversation with two inspiring career changers, Julia and Alison, who were part of my previous Holistic Career Change Group program.

They share their personal stories of realizing their careers weren’t aligned with their true selves and how they navigated the often tricky process of making the shift. We dive into themes of self-discovery, breaking free from people-pleasing habits, and finding the courage to embrace new, authentic career paths.

We discussed:

  • how sensitive and people-pleasing individuals tend to merge with their environments, making it hard to know their authentic desires—especially when it comes to career choices.
  • Alison opens up about the judgments she had about her aligned career path.
  • Julia shares about considering several aligned paths & the importance of recognizing the right timing to focus on each.
  • how often the most aligned careers are right under our noses but can be hard to see. 
  • that our innate gifts can sometimes feel like burden, but once we understand the dual nature of these gifts, they become powerful assets.

And Julia and Alison share the unexpected lessons and personal highlights they experienced during the Holistic Career Change group program.

ABOUT ALISON

How Trauma Can Shape Your Purpose14 Oct 202400:42:06

The Holistic Career Change Group is now open for enrollment! This five-month program blends spirituality, strategy, community, and coaching to help women transition into careers that align with their authentic selves. You'll receive one-on-one support, group coaching, somatic work, astrology readings, financial planning, and so much more. It’s designed to help you uncover your career blueprint and make a smooth, financially sustainable transition. The group starts on 11/11.

Program details.

----------------------

In this week’s episode, we dive into a topic that may feel unexpected but incredibly important: how trauma influences our sense of purpose. We explore the often-overlooked duality of trauma, seeing it not just as a source of pain but also as a creator of gifts, strengths, and direction in life. I'll unpack how our deepest wounds can actually lead us to our soul's calling.

We will cover:

  1. Trauma’s Role in Purpose: Trauma fragments us, but it can also help shape our character traits, gifts, and even our career paths. By understanding the patterns of our wounds, we can find deeper alignment with our purpose.
  2. The Healing Process: Healing trauma can lead to growth and transformation, unlocking new gifts that can be part of our life’s mission. We explore how healing often becomes a gateway to identifying our soul’s purpose and collective contribution.
  3. A Multifaceted View of Purpose: Purpose isn't just about what brings us joy; it's about embracing both light and shadow, joy and struggle. Trauma plays a critical role in shaping this journey, but it requires conscious and careful healing work.
  4. Practical Steps to Identify Purpose: I provide a simple, trauma-informed exercise to help you start exploring your purpose through the lens of your life experiences. By reflecting on your skills and strengths born from trauma, you can find authentic paths that feel expansive and energizing.
  5. A Holistic View on Trauma & Purpose: This exploration is not a one-size-fits-all approach. Everyone’s journey with trauma is different, and healing or finding purpose can look different for each individual.

Exercise Mentioned in the Episode:

  1. Create a timeline of significant life events (positive and challenging).
  2. Reflect on the skills and qualities developed through these experiences.
  3. Identify which skills expand and energize you, and explore how they might be applied to a purposeful career.

Are You a Lightworker?02 Sep 202400:59:08

In this episode, I explore the concept of lightworkers and how to recognize if you're meant for a healing career. It’s something that I get asked a lot, so I thought I might as well record an episode. 

Here’s what I will cover:

  1. What is a lightworker: understanding the soul-level calling to raise the planet's vibration and help humanity evolve.
  2. Signs you might be a lightworker:
    • Feeling different or out of place
    • High sensitivity to energy and emotions
    • Strong desire to help and heal others
    • Attraction to spiritual and metaphysical topics
  3. The lightworker's dilemma: feeling stuck in misaligned careers and recognizing the spiritual lessons in these experiences.
  4. Four categories of healing careers: physical, mental, emotional, and energetic/ethereal.
  5. How to know if you're meant for a healing career: Signs to look out for.
  6. Common fears of aspiring healers and how to overcome them:
    • Not feeling qualified enough
    • Concerns about making a living
    • Fear of not being good enough
    • Age-related doubts
    • Worry about others' opinions
  7. Practical steps for embracing your healing career:
    • Identifying your specific healing interests
    • Investing in education and training
    • Starting small
    • Connecting with other healers

Fear of Being Seen24 Jun 202401:28:12

In this episode, I sit down with my dear friend Elizé, a Speaking confidence and visibility coach, for a raw conversation about transmuting a fear of being seen.

I open up about my own ongoing struggles with on-camera presence and how I've managed to build a successful coaching practice despite these challenges. Elizé and I dive deep into how our childhood experiences have shaped our relationship with self-expression, and we explore the energetics of visibility in the entrepreneurial world.

We also touch on some less conventional topics like ancestral healing as a tool for reclaiming our voices, and offer a fresh perspective on social media as a potential space for healing and connection.

Throughout our chat, we share personal insights, practical tips, and mindset shifts to help you embrace your authentic self online. 

Whether you're a new entrepreneur feeling the pressure to "perform" or you're struggling to embrace your new identity as a career changer, this episode is packed with relatable experiences and empowering stories.

Join us for this heart-to-heart about breaking free from performative pressures and showing up as your true, beautiful self. 

ABOUT ELIZE

Elize is a Speaking & Visibility coach. She is like the spawn of The Dali Lama & Maya Rudolph.

Career Changer Series: Tech Consulting to Financial Coaching03 Jun 202401:08:05

In this week’s episode, I'm chatting with my amazing client Elizabeth about her incredible journey from high-flying tech consultant to heart-led financial coach.

We dive deep into the pressures she felt as a type-A eldest child to follow conventional success paths, even when her corporate job left her stressed and unfulfilled. Sound familiar? :)

Elizabeth shares how a surprising layoff during the tech downturn became a blessing in disguise, giving her the time and space to finally pursue her true calling - which had been right under her nose all along!

Together, we get real about the money mindset hurdles that can hold us back from investing in our dreams, and we share our favorite abundance beliefs to help you upgrade your wealth vibe.

Plus, Elizabeth spills the tea on how delicious life feels in her new purpose-fueled career - from waking up excited to enjoying networking (which was a big surprise for her!)

Hope this episode will serve as a healthy dose of inspiration to fuel your own career change journey!

My Career Change Story20 May 202401:20:14

This is one of those long-time coming episodes where I take you through my very own linear career change journey. 

In this candid episode, I open up about my 3-year transition from misaligned corporate jobs to building my own coaching practice. I talk about how:

  • I experienced years of inner turmoil and unhappiness working in management consulting and public sector roles that felt inauthentic;
  • I quit jobs without a plan, taking solo soul-searching trips to Iceland and Portugal to get clarity;
  • Iceland helped strip away my former identity and connect me to my true self through nature;
  • After realizing I needed to be self-employed, I gradually transitioned by studying coaching while still working corporate jobs;
  • I overcame intense fears of being perceived as a "wacko" life coach by former colleagues;
  • I took imperfect action by starting to coach before feeling fully ready to gain clarity;
  • I transitioned by getting a job with flexible remote hours which gave me safety to build my practice.

I also share the most pivotal moments, doubts, and emotional journey I had to embark on in order to help others find aligned careers.

A Partner's Perspective on Career Change04 Mar 202400:54:14

In this special episode, I chat with my partner Maarten about his experience and insights as the significant other of someone going through a major career transition.

I know so many women express feeling unsupported or doubted by their partners when they want to make a bold career shift. Or partners come at it very logically versus emotionally. Understandably, the prospect of losing financial stability can be scary for spouses too.

I’ve been SO fortunate to have a partner who believed in and stood by me every step of my winding career change journey. I wanted to share Maarten's perspective to shed light on how partners can provide that unconditional support when their loved one decides to take the leap towards more purposeful work.

We get honest about Maarten's initial reservations, how he came to fully embrace my transition, the flexibility required to make more time together, tuning into each other's needs, and the advice he has for others supporting a career changer.

There's so much wisdom in hearing the other side's experience when your dreams disrupt the status quo. 

When you make a shift, your loved ones shift too. I hope this episode inspires you & your partner to navigate inevitable changes with more compassion, trust and teamwork.

Misalignment vs Growing Pains27 Feb 202400:25:57

Have you chosen an exciting new career path, one that truly lights you up...only to start questioning if you made the right move when it doesn't unfold smoothly or quickly? You're not alone!

In this week's episode, we're exploring why an aligned vocation can still feel uncomfortable or rocky in the early stages. And how to tell the difference between normal growing pains versus true misalignment.

I'll also share how I navigated feeling like an imposter and reclaiming my confidence when reality didn't match my expectations. And what I did to course correct and find more ease, joy and flow as I built skills and structured my ideal business model.

We'll discuss some key signs that your discomfort may signal just growing pains, not necessarily overall misalignment:

  • You still feel excited by the work itself, just doubting your abilities
  • Part of you knows it aligns with your core motivations
  • The path resonates, but your approach feels off

Plus, strategies to recalibrate HOW you're walking this purpose path in order to feel re-inspired:

  • Examine unconscious expectations around the timeline
  • Check where you’re using outdated models versus aligning with your own rhythm
  • Get radically honest if this still deeply resonates with your soul

Even when you're headed towards your North Star, the journey itself will likely involve some stormy seas, please don't get discouraged!

Career Changer Series: Nonprofit Burn-out to Motherhood Mentor12 Feb 202401:17:52

In this episode, I interview Eleanor, a graduate of the Holistic Career Change Group Program who's made a pivot from non-profit work to becoming a guide for mothers and caretakers.

We discuss:

  • how Eleanor first came into the program with lots of interests: from a jewelry business to returning back to non-profit work
  • how overworking and overcommitting to pursue misaligned goals left El burnt out and disconnected from their body. It took a traumatic childbirth experience to force them to reevaluate their choices
  • financial scarcity and how it impacted Eleanor's life and career choices
  • transition into motherhood and how mothers are STILL a very underserved and under-resourced community
  • the pre-butterfly "goo phase" that is so tough to endure yet so necessary in order to complete the transformation required to embrace an aligned path
  • Eleanor's experience in the group program - deep friendships,  support and clarity she found as a result of doing the work & showing up for the process and themselves.


ABOUT ELEANOR
El Fort (she/they) serves as a guide for female-bodied (women and non-binary) folks on their unique healing journeys, with a particular focus on new and soon-to-be mothers and caretakers. El combines over 20 years of leadership, training, coaching, and facilitation skills in the professional world with their own experience over the last few years of healing from chronic stress, burnout, and overwhelm. 
El believes the heart of healing is nervous system regulation. They use evidence-based practices that back up ancient wisdom with a sprinkle of mysticism. They work with people holistically to connect with their own self-worth, self-trust, and self-compassion. Through mindfulness, movement, breath and belief work, clients find peace, balance, harmony and joy to live their most authentic, fulfilled, badass life.

In the last episode of the year, I have the honor of chatting with an inspiring career changer & manifestation maven - Sarah.

Sarah's gone through the holistic career change process & found herself in a multipotentialite portfolio career - having carved out a very unique space for herself.

In many ways, she's a trailblazer & an example of what's possible when you choose to boldly lead with creative spirit, emotional intelligence, and alignment—even within rigid tech spaces not set up for authentic expression.

Sarah will also expand on the magic that unfolds when you stand firmly in your integrity and heart-wisdom, ushering in the new paradigm of working & living.

This was such a fun episode to record. Sarah has this joyful, light yet wise presence - and my hope is that you'll feel inspired hearing her story just as I did.

Career Changer Series: Real Estate to Grief Support27 Nov 202301:12:59

We are back with the career change series! This week I’m bringing you the behind-the-scenes of my client Nina’s career change journey.

While Nina’s story is very unique in the way that it unfolded and how she found her aligned career, many of her fears, and inner conflict that she experienced along the way are very common amongst career changers.

We will discuss:

  • what it felt like working in real estate and how despite the potential in the industry - showing up for it felt very challenging
  • a personal traumatic experience that turned out to be a catalyst for change in both - Nina's personal and professional life
  • a new perspective on grief and how to transmute and reimagine it
  • the moments of peace, lightness and expansion she gets to feel now that she started walking an aligned career path...

and so much more.

Nina has a lot of wisdom to share and my hope is that you will enjoy and appreciate her grounding & healing energy and get inspired for your own career transition!

ABOUT NINA
Nadjalisse “Nina” Rodriguez is founder and host of the Grief and Light Podcast, which she created following the unexpected loss of her brother Yosef in 2019. 
 
 She has since forged a path to address the silence surrounding sudden loss and the reality of life as a griever. 
 
 The Grief and Light Podcast has evolved into a powerful platform highlighting stories of loss, grief and life thereafter, as well as amplifying the voices of those making meaningful impacts within their communities. 
 
 Beyond the airwaves, Nina extends her support by offering monthly virtual grief support meetups, one-on-one grief support sessions, illuminating the path forward for those facing one of life's most challenging moments.

(Not)giving up20 Nov 202300:44:26

This week we are analysing the anatomy of giving up.

In the episode, we will be discussing:

  • Our tendency to give up too quickly on our dreams and career pursuits and how many of us have become complacent and, at times, even entitled to manifestations. 
  • How our need for instant gratification affects long-term change efforts.
  • The unpleasant, challenging feelings we will inevitably experience as we explore the edges of our possibility and how to coexist with those feelings versus allowing them to take over.
  • The evolution of the human brain and what time inconsistency has to do with it.
  • How aligning our frequency with desires is just one side of the equation - the other being inspired action.
  • The importance of self-awareness, curiosity, and taking ownership of your actions and outcomes.

This episode is a little more fiery than usual because my goal is to ALWAYS remind you of the untapped potential inside of you.

Career Changer Series: Redefining the Landscape of Music17 Jul 202301:13:53

In this episode, I’m inviting you to listen to a very unique and, in many ways, unexpected career unfolding. My client Niamh is a musician and, as we jokingly called her,  a career ‘returner’. After many twists and turns, using the holistic process, she found her way back to her first love - music.

 We will discuss:

-How Niamh’s identity as a musician was initially built upon external validation and how it eventually lead to creative, emotional, and physical burn-out.

-About the disconnect between dreaming big and taking action. Niamh shares how she needed to learn to build a bridge toward her vision by taking the small daily steps. 

-We talk about her transformed relationship with energy and how she’d feel tired all the time until she learnt how to work with her mind and how she developed a life-changing skill of questioning the thoughts she used to take for granted.

-We also speak about resistance - and how she realized how sometimes she mistook basic resistance towards something new as her intuition not to pursue things.

-We discuss breaking the rules and giving ourselves permission to create new landscapes. For Niamh, it was about recreating the musical landscape - which was in her words one of the most liberating experiences.

As per usual, please listen till the end as Niamh has THE BEST advice for those of you seeking to change OR, perhaps similarly to her, return to an old career flame. 

This is such a value-packed and inspirational conversation, hope you enjoy it!

ABOUT NIAMH:

Niamh is an Irish musician, nature lover and sewing enthusiast, in pursuit of a creative life and career.

After several years of following an exciting but struggle-filled classical music path, she took time out to gain some wisdom and perspective from the rest of the world, and to get acquainted with her self, before reentering a musical career from a place of creativity and joy.

She also has a small business which combines her love of books and sewing; you can find it on Instagram and Etsy @NeevesBookSleeves.

What does masculine and feminine energies have to do with career change?

Career Changer Series: Wine Imports to Marriage & Family Therapy08 May 202301:22:46

This week I'm bringing you another transformational career change story. My client Michelle has come on a podcast to share her switch from the wine industry to marriage and family therapy.

In many ways, her story is almost a textbook case of a career change process. She went through all the stages and phases I speak about on this podcast, she overcame massive resistance and changed some old sabotaging patterns that kept her stuck, unfulfilled,  and completely terrified of choosing a new career path.

In our conversation, we also chat about just how much Michelle was paralysed to make any decision and was convinced she couldn't make a “wrong” decision at this stage of her life (sounds familiar?).

We also discuss toxic relationships with work and we go into detail about those pivotal moments of Michelle's change process that completely changed the trajectory of her future. 

Make sure you listen till the end to hear what happened when she made a decision to commit to this new line of work. It’s so illuminating and Michelle does a wonderful job illustrating the inner blocks and protective mechanisms that kick in when we try to pivot. 

Enjoy!

Portfolio Careers24 Apr 202300:32:03

This week we are exploring the emerging phenomenon of portfolio careers.
Portfolio career is a fancy term for the type of careers that consist of multiple streams of income, jobs, or businesses when compared to a traditional single career path. This allows individuals to combine skills, experiences, and interests to create a diverse portfolio of pursuits that provide both financial stability and personal fulfillment.
I personally believe portfolio careers are THE careers of the future and I share a story of my client Simone who has crafted an aligned portfolio of careers for herself.
Have you ever thought about building a portfolio career? What streams of income, jobs, or businesses would you like to combine? You may share and engage on Instagram.

Career Changer Series: Dentistry to Interior Design20 Feb 202301:21:12

This week's episode features another mind-blowing career change story. My client Nikita has joined me to share her transition from being a dentist and owning a dental clinic to becoming an interior designer.

Her career switch story has already been inspiring many others who've been considering a change. She goes into detail about the obstacles she's faced along the way, the inner work this shift required her to do, and the advice she has to share for everyone who's considering a career pivot. This is such an inspiring story of transformation that I know is going to serve so many of you.
ABOUT NIKITA
After a 180 shift, Nikita is pursuing her lifelong dream of becoming an interior designer. Just a few short months ago, however, her life looked very different. She was a dentist and burned-out owner of a dental clinic, fully living out of alignment. Her journey back to herself wasn’t easy, but it was with aligned action, intention, acceptance, and belief that she began owning her own life and waking up to her own power. Since saying yes to herself, she’s seen major shifts in her self-esteem, purpose, relationships, and marriage. Her journey wasn’t straightforward, but it has been incredibly rewarding.

Career Changer Series: Tech to Water Healing02 Jan 202301:23:25

We are starting the year with another magical career change story. The guest on the podcast today is my client Nicole who shares the details of her career transition journey.

Nicole’s path to finding her purpose was not easy or straightforward. The majority of her life was spent in hustle, survival, and powering through harsh life circumstances. It was only this past year when she committed to finding an aligned path that her life and her gifts started opening up and flourishing.

Nicole shares how she found her calling, what it feels like now, what challenges she faced along the way, and the advice she’d like to gift those of you who are at the beginning of your unfolding.

This episode is a MUST-LISTEN for everyone feeling confused and isolated on their way to finding your WHY.

ABOUT NICOLE
Nicole is an elemental lightworker, photographer, nature worshiper, and mother energy to many including her grown boys. She is currently learning the Watsu modality and moving towards exiting the corporate world to be of direct service in the healing journey of others. A lifelong resident of the PNW, she is often forest bathing or standing in a stream. She is working on her first oracle deck featuring her photography and looks forward to where the water guides her next.
