Episode #37 - Cultivating Loyalty as a Leader and Being Loyal to Yourself with Lee Caraher
Be who you want to be, know what you want to contribute to the world, know your non-negotiables, define what you want out of your work, understand your goals and vision, and always prioritize what matters to you. These are the critical ingredients shared today by our guest, Lee Caraher, CEO of Double Forte. Paying attention to these things took Lee from a degree in medieval history to running a successful company, allowing her to split her time between New York, San Francisco, and Eau Claire. Today, Lee is sharing how she's built a company of loyal employees, what leaders need to know to do the same, AND what women can do to create a career they love.

Episode #38 - Client Spotlight: How Dr. Jae Sevelius Went From Stuck & Comfortable to Making an Empowered Career Move
We’ve been raised to follow prescribed ideas of our career paths. Go to a good school, get your degree, get in with a great organization, climb that ladder to its highest heights and then retire. But like so many who follow that path, they often abandon any ideas of doing worth that expands their mind, fuels their passion, positions their authority, aligns with their life and values, and brings genuine fulfillment and happiness. Today on the podcast, my client Dr. Jae Sevelius shares how they took control of their career and made an empowered career move.
In this episode of the Midlife Career Rebel Podcast, you'll discover...
- Why trying to find “career distractions” won’t get you career fulfillment.
- Why repeating your old success formula won’t get you what you want.

- How they found an aligned position that valued all they had to offer.
- How the Career Rebel Academy gave them the tools and courage to say yes when the universe opened doors for them.
