Elevating My Career: Reflections on Growth and New Beginnings

Season 2 · Episode 9

Thursday, December 26, 2024 • Duration 14:46

In this episode of The Goode Guide, I share a deeply personal and professional milestone: my decision to leave Los Angeles and move back to Minneapolis. After nearly five years of remote work and career growth, this transition represents both a new beginning and a chanceto reflect on the lessons I’ve learned along the way.

The episode explores my journey from entry-level roles to becoming a director at Target. While I’m grateful for the milestones, promotions, and team expansions I’ve experienced, this move is about more than career growth. It’s about reconnecting with in-person collaboration and the energy that comes from working directly with a team—something remote work couldn’t fully replace.

Preparing for this move has also meant saying goodbye to my West Hollywood home, a place that became a sanctuary during challenging times. This moment represents letting go of the familiar to embrace new opportunities, with the unwavering support of my leaders and loved ones making the transition smoother.

I also take this time to share my vision for The Goode Guide. Over the past two seasons, the podcast has grown into more than a platform for stories—it’s evolving into a space for women in leadership. I’m excited to create leadership courses, tools, and a community where women can connect, share experiences, and learn together.

This new chapter isn’t without challenges, like stepping outside my comfort zone in areas like social media and website development. But I’m committed to embracing growth and pushing

boundaries. Thank you for being part of my journey through season two of The Goode Guide. Wishing you a joyful holiday season, and I can’t wait to share this next chapter with you in the new year. Together, let’s continue to redefine success!
