Can you actually love your career?

“Do what you love and you’ll never work a day in your life.” Are you enthusiastically nodding? Or is your BS-o-Meter blaring? Honestly, I’m somewhere in the middle! Like most oversimplified quotes dubiously attributed to Confucius, the truth is in the nuance. This has been the mission of my coaching practice since day one: Design a career you loveThis is the ROI that I promise to my clients. And I take that promise seriously. As a data nerd who measures success by real impact on real people—and has a deep aversion to grifters (in an industry full of them)—I spend a lot of time defining exactly what "love" means in the context of work so I can consistently deliver on it. A career you love does not mean:
A career you love is one you intentionally chooseYes, we celebrate your job offers, business launches, and promotions. But the real ROI of our work together is greater agency over your career and the life it supports—today and as you and the world continue to evolve. “I feel grounded, expansive, and confident about what I actually want now.” “I now have much more confidence in my abilities and clarity around what I want.” “The world seems more full of possibility. I’m in control of my destiny.” “I have so much clarity and agency over my career.” “I now have a framework to make sure every career decision aligns with my values.” And selfishly, I want you to love your career! Because when passionate powerhouses like you are grounded and moving with intention (and not sprinting 1K mph towards some nonsense), you launch innovative products, lead inspiring movements, and show up beautifully for the people who matter most to you. Yes, even in #LateStageCapitalism. Ready to choose love?You don’t have to keep spinning or figure it out alone. The first step is connecting with me.

Permission granted to be vulnerable. Yes, we’re talking about work, but you are the heart of this story. Thanks in advance for trusting me. Onward! |

I just bought fifth-row center tickets for the opening day of You Can See Everything. It’s Nathan Fielder’s wildly anticipated documentary following Elizabeth Holmes, the disgraced Theranos founder, in the month before she began her federal prison sentence for wire fraud and deceiving investors. If you’ve talked to me in the past month, you know I’m chomping at the bit. That’s because, in my opinion, the film explores one of the most important questions we wrestle with, as individuals and a...
When’s the last time you tooted your own horn? Like, really gave it a good honk, so loud that the folks in the nosebleeds heard it? If you feel good about your place in the world, get sought out for your superpowers, and are paid fairly for what you contribute, your horn is likely already tooting systematically in the background. Other people are probably pulling out their trumpets on your behalf too. But if not, you gotta learn to toot your own horn. My clients hate this part of our career...
It’s time I come clean: I’ve been Trojan Horse-ing some woo woo shit into my work with extremely serious, science-first, analytically-minded professionals. Before I defend myself (and hypnotize you too) let’s define woo woo: Woo woo is the woman who waltzes in wearing a crushed velvet fringed robe, dripping in turquoise jewelry, and derives meaning from your anecdote based on the position of the stars in the sky. It’s being engulfed by the scent of incense as a kind soul hands you a...
