  • Episode 165: Careening Careers
    Oct 23 2024

    DISCLAIMER: This episode was recorded prior to the devastation of Hurricane Helene. Future episodes may be affected.

    Welcome to a deep dive into the future of work. In this episode, we're tackling the evolving concept of careers in the 21st century—spoiler alert: it's not about sticking to one job anymore. We break down the Skills Revolution, why portfolio careers are the new normal, and how personal growth + adaptability can transform your professional life. I'm here to flip the script on the traditional career narrative, showing you how to embrace change and craft a career that reflects you, not your job title. Key Takeaways: - The traditional career path? It’s as dead as disco. - A portfolio career offers more freedom, satisfaction, and financial stability. - Tired of identifying too closely with your job? Learn to redefine your identity. - Embracing adaptability is the ultimate power move in today’s fast-paced job market. - Creating a growth mindset = Unlocking limitless opportunities

  • Episode 164: What Happens Next
    Oct 16 2024

    In this episode, I'm reflecting on the storms—literal and metaphorical—that hit Asheville, and how they are shaping both me and my community. There's no sugarcoating it: resilience and courage aren’t about being invincible. They're about finding the strength to carry on, even when uncertainty clouds every step. And in this uncertainty, I’ve learned that trust doesn’t come easily. It’s built slowly, through vulnerability, reflection, and sometimes painful realizations about what truly matters. It’s okay not to have it all figured out. I sure don’t. But that’s where the beauty of growth comes in—messy, uncertain, and full of possibility. What's next? I'm not sure but thank you for being here with me.

  • Episode 161: Sorry Not Sorry
    Sep 25 2024

    In this episode, we are taking a hard look at the cultural and psychological minefield of over apologizing.

    From its roots in gender dynamics to its impact on self-worth and professional leadership, we dissect why constantly saying "sorry" can erode confidence and credibility.

    Whether you’re in a personal or organizational culture, learn how to master meaningful apologies that foster trust and accountability instead of resentment. Tune in for how to make your "sorry" matter—because half-hearted apologies are worse than none at all!
