274 - Have you ever looked around at the life you've worked so hard to build and realized... it doesn't quite fit anymore?

That's the conversation we're having today.

In this episode, I'm opening up about a season I've been walking through myself. From the outside, life looks good. I've worked hard, built a meaningful career, and have so much to be grateful for. But over the past several months, I've realized something important:

Sometimes we don't need a completely different life, we need a life that's better aligned with the person we're becoming.

If you've been feeling restless, disconnected from work that once excited you, or like your priorities have shifted, you're not alone. This episode is an invitation to pause, reflect, and give yourself permission to notice what may no longer be serving you.

In this episode, I share:

• Why it's completely normal for your definition of success to change over time

• Some of the honest thoughts and feelings I've been navigating in this season of my own life

• The first step toward creating a life and work that feel more aligned with who you're becoming

If you've been thinking, "Something isn't quite right, but I can't put my finger on it," I hope this conversation reminds you that you're not behind, you're not failing, and you're certainly not alone. Sometimes growth simply asks us to become intentional again.

I'd love your help.

I'm currently designing a new program for women who feel like they've outgrown the life or work they've created and are ready to intentionally build what's next. As part of that process, I'm having a small number of Career Alignment Conversations to better understand what this season is really like.

If that sounds like you, I'd love to hear your story.

273 - To be clear, we're talking about using ChatGPT to align your work with the lifestyle you want to have, not using it for resume stuff.

I'm sharing five of my favorite ways to use ChatGPT to create more clarity, confidence, and alignment in your career, many of these I use with my own coaching clients who I'm helping transition into doing work they love that fits the season they're in.

If you're trying to figure out what kind of work actually fits you, prepare for important meetings, make sense of what energizes you, or simply think more intentionally about your next chapter, these prompts are super helpful.

I'd love your help.

I'm currently doing research for my next career alignment program and am looking for people to interview to help me best design my next program. I'd love to interview anyone who may "look successful on paper," but feels like they have outgrown their current way of working and want to figure out what is next for them and how to start doing work that is more aligned with the lifestyle they want to have.

272 - In this episode, I'm sharing seven signs that you've outgrown your current way of working.

Maybe you've been feeling more drained than energized. Maybe work that used to feel meaningful doesn't anymore. Or maybe you've simply been sensing that the way you've been working no longer fits the life you're trying to build.

This isn't about making a rash career move or quitting your job tomorrow. It's about paying attention to what your life, energy, and values might be trying to tell you.

Before you can intentionally design work that fits who you are today, you first have to recognize what's no longer working.

Think of this episode as the "before" picture.

I'd love your help.

I'm currently designing a new Career Alignment program, and I'm looking to have a handful of short Career Alignment Conversations with people who feel like they've outgrown their current way of working.

If that sounds like you, I'd love to hear your story. Your insights will help me create something that's genuinely useful for people navigating this season.
