Episode 9: Purpose & Deciding What You Want to Do in Your Career
Most people struggle with the idea of finding their purpose and how it relates to making big decisions in their careers. However, the work is not to find your purpose; you’re already a living manifestation of that. The challenge is bringing your purpose into your work.
Celebrating the 5th principle of Kwanzaa, Nia or purpose, in today’s episode, we’ll dive into what it takes to discover the meaningful work you’re meant to do, why it’s a struggle at midlife, and how your ability to express who you are through what you do can help you make the best career decisions of your life.
In this episode of the Midlife Career Rebel Podcast, you'll discover...
- What it means to have a purpose in your work.
- The mindset shift women at midlife must make to have a career they love.
- Why external ideas of success can prevent you from doing purposeful work.
- The three-step framework to making your best career decisions.

Episode 8: Building Your Self-Confidence
Confidence is not something you’re born with. It’s a feeling that you create through your thoughts about what’s possible. However, familial, cultural, societal, or other past experiences can bias our perceptions about what’s possible and ultimately our self-confidence.
So how to do you bridge the gap between self-doubt and self-confidence?
On this episode, we’ll dive into what is self-confidence and how to develop unshakable confidence in yourself. I’ll also explain why we lack self-confidence, what we often do wrong when trying to get it, and how to begin to create it in your own life.
In this episode of the Midlife Career Rebel Podcast, you'll discover...
- Why self-confidence is so difficult to obtain.
- Why external validation or accomplishments don’t build confidence.
- What it means to be self-confident.
- How to use your past accomplishments to build confidence.
- An additional tool that you can use to create confidence in your life.

Episode 10: Your Pathway to Career Success in 2022
January and February are traditionally the best months to reexamine your career direction, explore other options and possibilities, search for a new position, and even make a career change.
Today, I want to share the core pillars and philosophical approach I use with my clients to help you have your most successful year yet. The new world of work requires a new approach to career management because 20th-century techniques have become antiquated in the midst of the accelerated changes we've experienced and the advancing technological changes yet to come. Before you try to make a shift or change, you’ve got to wrap your mind around this. What got you here won’t get you where you ultimately want to go.
In this episode of the Midlife Career Rebel Podcast, you'll discover...
- How you need to rethink your approach to career success.
- How to apply the three (3) core pillars of my coaching philosophy to take control of your life and career and have your best year yet.
- How my team and I can support you in 2022.
If you have questions about applying this work, email us at [email protected] or reach out to me on social media (see the links below).
