Your brain is your most powerful tool in your job search. In this episode, we take a deep dive on mental fitness so you can always show up with your mind in the best place. 

Erika was first attracted to the Positive Intelligence (PQ)  because she saw its powerful results to shift her own thinking. She became a Certified Positive Intelligence Coach (CPQC) because the framework is grounded in neuroscience and psychology. 

In this first of a 10-part episode,  she introduces all 10 Saboteurs (Judge, Controller, Restless, Hyper Achiever, Hypervigilant, Hyper-Rational, Avoider, Pleaser, Stickler and Victim. 

We also cover the 3 Step Reset - and even have a chance to practice it together. 

1. Notice your negative thought (Saboteur)
2. Take command of your brain 
3. Shift to a positive thought (Sage)

Confidence is defined as 1) a faith or belief that one will act in a right, proper or effective way and 2) the quality or state of being certain. 

When it comes ot the job search, we frequently lack the faith, belief, or certainty needed for confidence. 

And that's where courage - the mental or moral strength to venture, persevere, and withstand danger comes in. 

With a job market unlike any you've experienced, you need to start building courage. And that starts with changing your thoughts. This episode gets you started on that path.

In this episode, Erika talks about how and why it's possible to experience burnout even when you aren't working. She shares her 4 strategies for overcoming it in this specific phase of life - the job search:

1. Fuel your body - sleep, nutrition, exercise matter more now than ever.
2. Know your peak hours - and use them wisely.
3. Identify your energizing vs. draining job search activities (updating your resume, optimizing your LinkedIn, virtual coffees, networking, outreach, writing cover letters, company research, interview prep) and plan them strategically.
4. Set a sustainable pace. Decide which hours and which days you're committing to this schedule.

The headlines are everywhere — Block, Meta, Atlassian, and Oracle have all announced layoffs in the last few weeks. But is AI replacing jobs really the reason, or is it just a story?

In this bonus episode, Erika digs into what these four companies are actually saying — and what they're not saying — about AI and workforce reductions. From Jack Dorsey's bold claim that a 40% cut will make Block stronger, to Oracle's $50 billion infrastructure bet, to Atlassian laying off 10% of a workforce that's still growing, the signals are hiding in plain sight.

You'll learn:

• What "AI washing" actually means and how to spot it
• The five signals every job seeker should be watching right now
• The important questions you should be asking about any company

In this episode, Erika introduces you to the Self-Coaching Model (CTFAR) that can help you get the results you've been aiming for - just by changing your thoughts. No, it's not magic. It's all rooted in Cognitive Based Therapy (CBT).

• C = Circumstance (triggers a)
• T = Thought (which creates a)
• F = Feeling (which drives an)
• A = Action (which produces a)
• R = Result

This coaching framework allows you to see how a single thought ultimately creates your result. We get to choose our thoughts. Are yours serving you? What do you want to think?

MJ never thought her job search would take 14 months. None of us do. In this episode, she shares how she was impacted by a Workforce Reduction at HP and the journeyu that led her to a new role at Adobe. 

Along the way, she joined Career Re|Set where I was able to help her with her positioning, strategy - and staying resilient in the ups and downs of today's market. The camaraderie of the group filled in that camaraderie and teamwork she'd been missing. 

In the end, it was the creative projects she started that kept her sane and the LinkedIn posting and networking calls that kept her connected. And one of those, nurtured over many months, led to the offer she accepted.
