Ever felt like "This can't be it until retirement?" - Liana did. She came to me wanting to make a career change, but she didn't know what that would look like.

5 months later, she is building her first startup in the mental health space. With her son as a big motivation to build this legacy, she is making business models, pitch decks, starting networking conversations, and learning a million new things on the way.

It is a joy to be her career coach and walk alongside her on this journey - that started by going from career confusion to clarity on what she wants from work & life.

I know Liana's story will inspire you. Enjoy!

Do you want to set stronger boundaries in your work and life? Or have you been setting boundaries but people are walking all over them?

This might seem like a small nuisance, but weak or non-existent boundaries are putting your career & health at risk.

People who 'do it all' don't get promoted.

People who rarely say 'no' don't do their best work.

People who put themselves last burn out when the workload is overwhelming.

In this episode, you'll learn about 5 easy ways to use your language to set stronger boundaries. These are little tweaks, adjustments, and word swaps that you can try out immediately.

My clients have gotten promotions just from implementing these tips - because strong boundaries are a form of leadership.

My clients have also gotten out of burnout by using these tips to set boundaries.

Connect with Eleonora on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠LinkedIn⁠⁠.

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

Eleonora started coaching with me because she wanted to change her career - but it brought her so much more than that.

She pivoted from being employed as a project manager to now being an independent consultant - doing the same work at a higher pay, with more freedom to live life on her terms.

Her career change has been a great success for her professional life - but our coaching has had a big impact on her overall wellbeing. She learned how to balance her professional ambitions with 'bare-minimum-day's' filled with forest walks, moves on the couch, and simply being 'unproductive'.

Listen to Eleonora share her vulnerable story of finding work happiness - and the continuing work (of art!) in progress, which is her career.

So you are unhappy in this job, but you don't know what to change into?

This is the hardest truth about making a career change 👇

💡 You only know what you know.

You've been on this path for years, climbing the ladder. But now that goal doesn't seem appealing anymore. You are drained, unfulfilled, stressed, and bored but when someone asks "What would you like to do instead?" - you go blank.

The solution to finding different jobs that are an unexpected match made in heaven is the Career Manifesto.

This is the tool I developed for and with my clients to create a career checklist to end all career checklists.

The key is that it goes infinitely deeper than a desired salary range or job title, allowing you to see beyond what you know.

This is what gets my clients the career changes they long for and lasting work happiness.

I am an ancestor to my great-grandchildren, and my "too much" sets the standard for their "normal".

Whenever you decide that:

❌ Asking for a raise is too much.

❌ Applying to that dream job is too much.

❌ Having an enjoyable, healthy job is too much

You are setting the standard for your children and beyond.

So this episode is about taking action that creates the "normal" you want to see for your great-grandchildren.

✅ Negotiate with warm fierceness because you deserve to be incredibly well-compensated.

✅ Quit the job that is hurting your well-being and apply for that job listen you've been staring at.

✅ Make the career change that will allow you to spend more time with your family, outside, and savoring your LIFE.

Our future generations need a better work life.

That starts with us.

Talking about money can feel tricky. Even icky. Something you were told to "stay away from" as a child and young adult. You don't talk about how much you make - not even with colleagues. 

​

I want to break that stigma because I want women to be richer. We need women to be richer. The pay gap needs to be bridged.

​

Money means options. It means you can leave a toxic relationship. It allows you to be home every Friday to play with your kids. It gives you the freedom to move into a safer neighborhood, buy healthier food, and get better health insurance.

So in this episode, I am openly talking about money. I am giving you a real life example, with details, of how I negotiated higher pay. 

​

Listen to it, share it with the women around you, and take the steps to bring more financial freedom into your life. You deserve every bit of it. 

​

All my love, 

​

Maartje

What do a bike breaking down in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina, Covid travel restrictions, Dubai, and a long-distance love have in common?

Asking for what you want.

Job opportunities are there if you know how and when to ask for what you want.

Today, I break down how to do this and share personal stories where opportunities showed up simply because I dared to ask.

Don't know HOW to ask? I got you. Settle into this epsiode where I break it down for you.

It is no secret that I love me a Tortured Poet. The other day I read something about the Taylor Swift Effect and it got me thinking:

What is the Maartje Bakker Effect?

I got an instant 'ick' and have been through enough coaching to identify that feeling as an opportunity for growth.

"Interesting", I thought. I feel discomfort thinking about my own brilliance. So I had two choices: shy away from this uncomfortable feeling and stay small or lean into it and learn.

Guess which option I chose. In today's episode, I help you discover your own "effect" and show you how to get comfortable with sharing your brilliance with others.

This is how you land jobs, get promoted, receive a pay raise, and get paying clients.

🎉 My coaching program just became even more accessible!

After 450+ hours of coaching women through career changes, dozens of businesses started, promotions made, and jobs landed...

It still breaks my heart when you say you feel dreadful, exhausted, bored, and defeated at work.

I've been there.

And when I was burnt out with no idea what kind of career would bring me joy,

I didn't have a career coach when I needed it the most.

It is a privilege to have support through hard times.

I want to be a part of breaking that cycle.

I want career coaching to be even more accessible to you - because I know what we can create in as little as 6 months is life-changing.

We need more women with healthy, happy jobs.

Who speak their minds with confidence.

Who earn good money.

Who ask for help.

My coaching program remains the same: trusted, tested, and tailored to you.

New is the tiered option to pick the support you want and need.

If you're ready to make a lasting career change for your happiness and health - book a call.

I can't wait to support you.

Science class, high school, me braiding my friend's hair, when my teacher says: "You can drop out right now and become a hairdresser. Is that what you want?"

The interaction lasted 2 seconds, but the impact has been lingering for over a decade.

It made me believe that certain jobs are more valuable than others. It made me think I don't belong in a science environment. And it made me believe that this man dictated my future - he needed to like me.

My reaction was angry and defiant. "I'll show you." was my teenage mantra.

What happened next was the start of a misaligned career path. I became an engineer even though I hated math & science. I only felt worthy when I was validated by a man. I operated from a space of teenage anger and fear to prove myself.

It took digging and soul-searching to realize that the teenager in me was making my career choices. She tried her best, but she was only a girl. I needed mature, present-day-me to step in and take over.

Do you recognise this? Is your inner child running the show? Is she making your big decisions for you? Out of fear? Anger? Resentment? Insecurity?

In this episode, I share the exercise that helps my clients regain control over their careers and direct their career path from their wise, present-day self.

Let me know how it lands!

I get it. You feel stuck on the career path that you've walked for years, climbing the ladder that was supposed to be 'the right one'.

But these days you catch yourself questioning that path. Do you even want to continue working at this company? In this industry? Within this role?

"What am I even good at?", is a sentence that crosses your mind frequently.

So you do an online strength & skill test. "I have to switch my career to WHAT?!". You feel deflated. Your skills are pushing you in a career direction that sounds everything but appealing.

Listen. This episode is coming to your rescue - because it is not you, these tests are flawed. They lack a core component of work happiness: joy.

In today's episode, I take you through my Zone of Genius & Joy matrix, the framework that has helped dozens of professionals identify their strengths and skills that will actually bring them a fulfilling career.

I can tell you right now - you are fighting against paying a bill that is meant to support your financial growth.
Between paying rent, getting food on the table, and getting the gym membership you like, we are all feeling a tightening.
Prices are sky-high and salaries are barely compensating for it.
However - this mindset of "I can't afford it" or "I have to pay this stupid bill" is not helping you.
In this episode, I share how I went from absolutely hating to pay my taxes, gym bill, and rent, to loving it.
I am opening up about the work I have been doing behind the scenes to turn my unhelpful beliefs around money into supportive ones that open doors for me - rather than close them.

In this short episode, I am sharing how I made a big decision this week.

We all have different parts of ourselves within us: employee-you, mother-you, brother-you, child-you, teenager-you, business owner-you, etc.

All of those parts have a purpose - but when we make big decisions it's important to note who is calling the shots.

I consciously put CEO-me in the driver's seat & let her take the wheel.

Let me take you behind the scenes to share how I made that choice.

❌ Getting promoted without working on your self-beliefs is the recipe for BURNOUT.
Adding more to your plate while continuing to tell yourself to "be grateful to HAVE a job" and "This is just the way it is" will result in
🔻More overtime
🔻 More sleepless nights
🔻 Less time spent doing the things you love
🔻 Less energy to get out of this toxic situation
You won't become "successful" by climbing the ladder the way you've always done it.
In this episode I spill the tea on why promotions DON'T get you to the career and life of your dreams - and what you should try instead.
