The Career Studio – Details, episodes & analysis

New York City is full of characters: unapologetically authentic people who create the vibe that make this city great. People who have thrown out the rulebook and become the artist of their life. 

We dive into the messy, unpredictable journey towards fulfillment and authentic self-expression. We talk to creatives and artists, entrepreneurs and change-makers about where they came from, who they’ve become, and what it took to get here. These are honest, intimate conversations, where we explore taking risks, trusting your intuition, career twists, creative awakenings, and the role this intense and powerful city played in shaping their path. We explore the structures and tools they used to support them - from psychedelics to therapy, spirituality to community. 

We get real. We have fun. We go deep. Always in the quest to leave you wiser and more inspired. This show is about the character it takes to build an authentic and fulfilling life that feels uniquely your own.

We often fear failure because we associate it with judgment and inadequacy. However failure is inevitable and a natural part of the learning and growth process.
In this episode I encourage you to embrace setbacks as learning experiences and highlight how our goals, priorities, and even careers will evolve over time. 

You will learn to recognize that failure is simply a part of the journey towards a fulfilling career and life.

I felt stuck in my business recently. Confused, tired, and overwhelmed. Everything felt hard and annoying and all the things I usually found energy in were draining me. But then it dawned on me. Wait, I literally have a system for fixing this. It's what I talk about every single day to my clients and audience. Why don't you use your own medicine, Anne? So I used my own program to diagnose and address my issues. I mitigated my own ennui and burnout and within six weeks was back on track - feeling energized and having readjusted the way I was working to better suit who I am and my current priorities. Because who we are and what we want constantly evolves. The business I created two years ago is not the business I want and need now. I needed to adjust. And I used my proven system to do it efficiently.

In this episode I dive into exactly what questions I asked myself and the adjustments I made to turn confusion, exhaustion, and frustration into clarity, energy, and momentum.

When we strive for an A in everything, when we want everything to be perfect, we are either unable to keep up with life’s competing demands or we burn out. So what if I told you the secret is striving for B- work? If you’re a chronic over-achiever that is going to feel deeply uncomfortable. And that’s exactly why you’ll want to listen to this episode.

I discuss: 

• The economic principle behind my recommendation to focus on B- output
• Why an A works in school but not in real life
• The negative results created from constantly striving for As in everything
• Personal lessons from my own experience unwinding from over-achieving

When our career stops working the way it once did it can be overwhelming. The confusion and ambiguity is uncomfortable. What do we pay attention to and what do we ignore? That’s why I started my business, to help people move through these moments of evolution with intention and structure. And the good news is, when you boil down the noise there are actually four fundamental things to focus on to build an energizing career you love. And if you focus on these four themes it’s like a playbook you can come back to time and time again as inevitably, who you are and what you want evolves. 

In this episode I discuss: 

• How to own who you are and use that as a compass for your career
• How to have conversations in a strategic and structured way to guide you and open doors
• How to manage your mindset intentionally to create the emotions and actions that will facilitate the results you want in your life
• How to set, hold and communicate the boundaries you need to thrive.

I consider getting fired one of the best things that’s ever happened to me. And even though it’s certainly inconvenient and uncomfortable, I consider it a blessing in disguise for most people. In this episode I share my own story of getting fired plus those of people I know and have worked with to help you see why in most cases, it’s an opportunity to re-design your career in a way that better suits who you are and what matters to you. The people and environments that aren’t right for you will reject you in some way, getting fired is an example of that.

In this episode I discuss: 

• The beliefs that got me into a role that wasn’t right
• What I had to come to terms with when I actually got fired
• The relationship between alignment and getting fired
• Examples from clients and friends who’ve also been fired
• The narratives to focus on instead to create more acceptance and confidence from getting fired

After nine months of maternity Sarah was looking towards returning to work with trepidation. There had been some significant changes while she was out and she had had a history of parachuting out of jobs quickly when things weren’t exactly perfect. She was worried she’d do that again and potentially end up in the wrong place. She wanted to be thoughtful and considerate about the next phase of her career but she wasn’t sure exactly how. Today she trusts herself to navigate bumps and transitions because she knows what she wants. She’s clear on where she’s going professionally and has shaped her current environment to support her growth in this direction. She’s unwound from people pleasing, is no longer tying her sense of peace and happiness to goals in the future, and is connected to her emotional world to help her make smart, aligned decisions.

In this episode we discuss: 

• How Sarah restructured her career to suit her strengths, interests, and priorities
• How she leveraged her network to create opportunities and ongoing support
• Detaching her happiness from finding a new role and learning to create it now in the midst of her own evolution
• Unwinding from people-pleasing and how this can get you off track during the interview process
• The importance of connecting to your emotional world as part of your work life to help you make good decisions

Too often we have a narrative that work should feel like work. That fun is something that happens outside of our job. But operating from this belief creates a reality where work is indeed not fun. What you think you create. The simplest way to describe the process of creating an energizing career you love is to follow the fun. 

In this episode I discuss: 

• How I define fun - it’s not at odds with impact or salary
• How to figure out WHAT feels fun
• How the current career landscape allows for so much more fun that ever before
• The difference between jobs that feel fun and jobs that we tell ourselves are ‘right’
• When to make a strategic move in your career
•
