Episode 105: Saving Yourself: Building a Career That Works for You
Sometimes, saving yourself means rethinking your career. In this episode, I speak candidly about how stepping away from traditional expectations—and regularly taking the full month of January off—helps me prioritize flexibility and self-preservation. This episode is about being unconventional in putting your needs first, creating time for yourself, and redefining success.
Let’s talk about:
Why self-preservation starts with setting boundaries and challenging career norms.
How taking time off can open doors to new opportunities and fresh perspectives.
Why trial and error is essential when building a flexible, sustainable career.
How shifting from surviving to thriving begins by prioritizing what truly matters.
The best way to show up for others is to start prioritizing your own needs. If you’ve been hesitating to make a change, this episode will remind you that it’s never too late to start saving yourself.
