How To Design Your Career
Do Your Thing, Your Way Because You Gotta Be You
Do your thing in your way because you gotta be you.
To succeed at anything, but especially your career, you have to lean into your youness - be the most you - and do the thing in your own way. There will always be someone who wants the same things in life as you - but nobody can or will do it like you.
Make Money Doing What You Want And Do What you Want With That Money
Here’s the secret: when you do work that makes you happy, you make more money. When you make more money, you can use it to support your values.
When you make money doing what you actually want to do, not what societal or familial expects you to want to do, you become your most you. You act in a truly holistic way that honors all of you. When you approach anything that way you come at it with expansive energy (conversely if you do something you don't enjoy that's all about contracting energy).
How To Decide If It's Time To Find Your Thing
You want to change careers and finally find work that is meaningful.

Want to Make a Career Change? You Need A Plan.
You decided to make a career change? Let’s all take a minute to acknowledge that that’s a huge decision. I don’t have to tell you that you’ve got a bit of work ahead of you, but it is worth it. I promise. I also don’t have to tell you to not just go stabbing at this thing in the dark. You just can’t go off all willy-nilly to change your career. You need a game plan.
Shocking shit I heard on client calls this yeaR
I had some truly amazing career coaching clients this year and we did a lot of great work together, but I heard some really shocking things from them! I know they are just overwhelmed. They feel stuck. They feel hopeless and they need help finding the meaningful work they want to do in their careers.
Dream Jobs, The Truth About 'Em
The truth about Dream Jobs, I wish someone had told me years ago: your one and only Dream Job doesn’t exist or, if it does - it ain’t so dreamy. What you can, and should, strive for is to Find Your Thing: a career you are interested in and enjoy that lines up with your core values and beliefs but perhaps isn’t your end-all-be-all-hanger-of-all-hopes-and-dreams.
