Waiting for a career to find you? That’s cute, but not realistic.

I used to believe that if I just worked hard enough, scrolled job boards long enough, or manifested the right opportunity, my dream career would magically appear.

Yeah… that never happened.

Instead, I stayed stuck—overthinking, doubting myself, and hoping something would change. But here’s the truth: waiting isn’t a strategy. No one was coming to hand me the career I wanted. I had to go after it.

And when I finally did? Everything shifted.

✨ I landed a higher-paying role in an industry I never thought I was qualified for.
✨ I found work that excited me instead of draining me.
✨ I built a career on my terms—one that supports my life instead of controlling it.

And now? I help women do the same.

If you’re tired of waiting and so ready to take action, my Career Kickstart offer will give you a clear, step-by-step plan to get unstuck and into a career that actually lights you up.

“You’re being too picky...”

“How dare you want a job that excites you, gives you work-life balance, aligns with your values, AND pays you what you’re worth.” 🙄

Sound familiar?

It’s the kind of thing you might hear from someone who’s settled for a job they’ve outgrown (or never wanted in the first place) 😒. But let me tell you something: wanting a fulfilling, aligned career isn’t being too picky—it’s setting the standard you deserve 💎.

💡 You’re allowed to want more than just a paycheck.
💡 You’re allowed to want a job that challenges you, supports your growth, and makes you feel alive.
💡 You’re allowed to refuse to settle for “good enough” when you know you’re meant for great.

But here’s the truth: if you don’t know exactly what you want, comments like these can make you second-guess yourself 🤔… or worse, settle for the “safe” option.

That’s where Career Kickstart comes in 🗝️.

Inside this experience, we’ll work together to:
✨ Get crystal clear on what you want in your career (and what you don’t).
✨ Uncover the next right step so you can stop spinning your wheels.
✨ Create a personalized blueprint to move toward a career that lights you up.

Because being picky isn’t the problem—settling is.

💥 It’s only $44 right now, so send me a DM with the word ‘KICKSTART’ to grab your spot before the price goes up 📩.

It’s time to set your own standard, dream big, and thrive 🌟. Let’s make it happen! 💪

The last diet I tried was a total waste of time. 😩

Why? Because I wasn’t all in.

I didn’t believe it would work, and deep down, I knew it wasn’t right for me. But I went through the motions anyway, and ended up disappointed (and out of a lot of 💸).

It’s the same with job hunting when you’re unclear on what you really want.

When you don’t trust yourself or know what aligns with your goals, self-doubt takes over. And you end up stuck in the same place. 😕

Here’s the secret: clarity + honesty with yourself. You have to KNOW what you want before you make moves. 🧠

Something exciting is coming soon to help you get crystal clear on what your dream career looks like and how to take the first steps toward it.

In just 5 days, you’ll get clear on:
✨ What truly lights you up (no more settling for “meh” jobs)
✨ Your non-negotiables for a career that fits your lifestyle
✨ How to market your unique skills for roles you actually want
✨ Your next steps to confidently move forward

No more spinning your wheels. No more guessing. Just a clear path to your dream career. 🙌

You said you’d quit last year.

And the year before that.

And let’s be real—probably the year before that, too.

I know because I did the exact same thing.

I stayed in teaching for years longer than I should have, convincing myself I wasn’t qualified for anything else. What would I even do? Who would take me seriously outside of education?

Every time I thought about leaving, the fear kicked in. What if I failed? What if I made the wrong move?

So I stayed.

And when I did try to leave once before—and it didn’t work out? That just made me even more convinced I was stuck forever.

Then the pandemic hit. And for the first time, I had space to really think about what I wanted.

That little voice inside me—the one I had been shoving down for years—got louder. And I couldn’t ignore it anymore.

That’s when I found a career coach who changed everything.

She helped me see what I couldn’t: that I was capable. That I was talented. That I wasn’t “just a teacher” but a high achiever who could succeed in anything I put my mind to.

I just needed a strategy—and the confidence to take action.

And now? I help other women do the same.

So if you’re caught in the cycle of “maybe next year,” waiting for the perfect time to leave—this is your wake-up call.

There is no perfect time. But there is a way out.

I put together a free mini training to help you get clear on your next career move now—without the endless job searching or second-guessing.

With the new year just TWO DAYS away, I’m kicking off 2024 with a fresh new look for Shift Your Day Job!

Because just like a career change, sometimes a little refresh is all you need to create big shifts.

If you’ve been thinking about making a bold move in the new year, consider this your sign. New year, new opportunities, and maybe…a new career? Let’s make 2025 the year you step into a job (and life) that feels truly aligned.

In today’s mini-episode of Shift Your Day Job, I’m sharing a game-changing concept from The Gap and The Gain by Benjamin Hardy and Dan Sullivan. 🌟

We’ve all been there—a rejection email, a missed promotion, or a career move that didn’t work out. It stings 😞, but disappointment doesn’t have to hold you back. It can actually fuel your growth!

Here’s how:

👉 Honor Your Feelings
• Let yourself feel the disappointment without judgment.
• Journaling, talking it out, or meditating can help you release the sting and clear your mind.

👉 Find the Lesson
• Ask yourself, “What does this teach me about what matters most?”
• Disappointment often reveals your values and priorities, helping you refine your goals.

👉 Take Aligned Action
• Use what you’ve learned to take intentional steps forward.
• Let this experience motivate you to pursue what truly lights you up 🌟.

I’m thrilled to share a Spotify Wrapped stat after nearly a year of podcasting!

Knowing that 40 people tune in regularly to my podcast may seem small to some, but to me, it’s incredible. Picture a room of 40 people showing up every week to hear your message—that’s powerful.

I’m so grateful for the guests who’ve joined me, the listeners who’ve supported me, and everyone who’s shared my podcast with others who might benefit from it. Your support and encouragement means the world.

Here’s to another year of creating meaningful content and growing together! Thank you for being part of this journey.

Do you want to feel truly valued at work? ✨

A place where feedback builds your confidence, not your self-doubt?

💡 Imagine this:
• Feedback that’s constructive and supportive.
• A manager who helps you grow with trust and respect.
• Feeling motivated, valued, and empowered to contribute your best work.

🙁 Unfortunately, that’s not the reality for many of us.

Instead, feedback can feel like judgment, leaving you second-guessing yourself. Without trust and respect, it’s tough to process criticism in a healthy way—and that can hold you back from growing.

But you don’t have to stay stuck. Here’s how to shift:

💬 1. Separate Your Worth from the Feedback

Not all feedback deserves your energy. Ask yourself: Is this constructive, or just an opinion?

💪 2. Process It, Learn from It, and Let It Go

Feel the hurt, but don’t let it define you. Take the helpful parts, leave the rest, and remember—your worth is not up for debate.

🌱 3. Clarify the Environment You Need to Thrive

What type of leadership and culture do you need to feel supported? Identifying this is key to building a career that aligns with your values.

You can thrive in a work environment that nurtures your growth. It starts with clarity—and taking steps toward the right opportunities.

💬 DM me the word READY and I’ll send you my free mini-course to help you build a career where you feel confident, aligned, and truly valued. 🌟
