What if the only thing standing between you and your next career breakthrough is a lesson you haven’t learned yet? In this milestone episode, I’m reflecting on 100 plus episodes of podcasting and the unexpected career lessons that came with it. This isn’t a highlight reel or a victory lap. It’s the real mindset shifts that changed how I approach hard things, fear, and consistency in my career and with my clients.I walk you through three lessons that apply just as much to your job search or next promotion as they did to building this podcast. We talk about why your future identity deserves a vote, how fear is often a green light instead of a stop sign, and why big goals sound impressive but realistic ones are what actually move the needle. Each lesson is grounded in real experiences and practical takeaways you can start using immediately without overhauling your entire strategy.By the end of this episode, you’ll feel clearer, calmer, and more confident about the next move you’ve been avoiding or overthinking. If you’ve been stuck in your head, burning out, or waiting to feel ready, this conversation might be the shift you didn’t know you needed. The real question is which of these lessons are you finally going to act on.2:20 – Why Your “Future Self” Should Have a Say in Your Career Decisions3:56 – How Acting Like the Confident Version of You Can Transform Your Interviews7:19 – Why Fear Means You’re Heading in the Right Direction—Not the Wrong One8:18 – The Surprising Reason Fear is a Signal You’re on the Right Path14:22 – Why Tiny, Realistic Goals Beat Unsustainable Large Ones for Consistency17:06 – How Consistency (Not Overwhelm) Helps You Get Hired and Promoted 🛎️ FREEBIES & RESOURCES:Actively looking for a job in Customer Success or plan to in the near future?
