Is your work starting to feel a little… meh?

Before you toss everything out the window and start fresh, hang tight—sometimes, all it takes is a slight shift to bring back that spark. In today's episode (the season 8 finale!), we're tackling creative rituals—simple practices that can help you feel more energized, inspired, and connected to your work.

These aren't big, dramatic changes. We're talking about tiny, meaningful moments that add up—like screen-free evenings, curiosity lists, or a good old-fashioned mood board. Whether you're in a season of change, feeling stuck in your routine, or just craving more joy in your day-to-day, this conversation is for you.

And a quick peek ahead—Season 9 is coming soon!

In a few weeks, we're kicking off a very special series inspired by Brave Women at Work: Lessons in Letting Go. I'll chat with my co-authors about the stories behind the book—stories of reinvention, release, and what it means to let go in your career and your life.

Tired of outdated career rules? Same! It’s time to flip the script.

In today’s conversation, I’m joined by Jamie Jacobs—former corporate exec turned Founder and CEO of Gig Talent. Jamie is on a mission to reimagine how work gets done—with more freedom and intention. At its core, it’s about doing great work with great people.

Jamie has built an impressive career as an HR leader, and her real superpower is driving transformational change. She challenges outdated systems and helps values-driven professionals and companies flourish in the new world of work.

✨ Fun fact: Jamie and I go way back—over 15 years! From early career days to now collaborating through Gig Talent, I’ve watched her lead with courage and heart. She’s a bold thinker and a champion of what’s possible when we dare to do work differently.

We dive into the rise of the gig economy and why taking ownership of your path is more important than ever. If you’re craving more autonomy + alignment in your career, this conversation is your guide. Because your career should work for you—not the other way around.

✨ Have you ever found yourself instinctively reaching for a specific color, without even thinking about it?⁠ Maybe it’s a bold red blazer on a day you need extra courage… or a soft blue sweater when your spirit craves calm.⁠

Color is so much more than just style—it’s energy, emotion, and intuition speaking to us. 🎨⁠

I had the best conversation with intuitive artist Heather Eck about how color can support us through life transitions—and even help clarify our career paths.⁠ From yellow symbolizing growth to blue encouraging communication, the colors we’re drawn to reflect where we are… or where we’re headed.⁠

Especially during seasons of change, color becomes this beautiful, quiet guide—reminding us to trust ourselves and stay curious.⁠
