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.

Before you make any rash “holler- I’M OUTTA HERE! and moon your boss over Zoom”-type of decisions, there are a few questions you should ask yourself.
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.
How to Get a Better Job
For so many people their careers have stalled or are non-existent because they’re stuck. Stuck in a not so great job.
What about you? Do you want a better job? Ok. Great. But what in the world do you mean by that? You have to have the confidence in yourself and in your career to make the change you need to make.
Here are the steps to take to get a better job and create a career that is just right for you.
How To Make A Career Change
Career Exploration and Your Mindset
When it comes to changing careers and exploring what career is right for you, we need to tackle something up front: there is no magic answer.
I know you want there to be a magic answer out there, that you just haven’t discovered yet. The answer that someone will just shoot you an email with the exact job you should be doing that will make you wildly happy. The one and only answer that exists if you turn over enough self-help quizzes.
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.
