Are you exhausted from applying to 300+ jobs with nothing to show for it? In this video, I expose the three sneaky reasons why smart people work hard but don't get hired—and what to do instead.

I share the story of my client Cathy, who spent eight months "doing everything right" but couldn't answer one critical question that revealed why she was stuck. You'll discover why easy-apply submissions are literally like running on a treadmill (you're tired but not moving), the uncomfortable truth about what actually counts as progress, and the drama trap that's quietly stealing your focus from what would actually get you hired.

Learn the three questions you must ask yourself after every interview to extract the data from failure, why most people avoid this work (even though it's what creates breakthroughs), and how to stop tricking your brain into thinking you're being productive when you're not. If you've been wondering "what am I doing wrong?" but don't have clear theories yet, this video will change everything.

What happens when you're overworked, underpaid, and about to settle for even less money just to survive? In this Success Spotlight episode, I sit down with my client Jessica, an ecologist who was dangerously close to applying for jobs paying $20-30K less than her previous salary until she decided to invest in herself instead.

Jessica shares her raw journey from accepting "that's just how it is" in conservation work to landing a $40K raise and moving to her dream state. We unpack the exact moment she almost said yes to a job offering significantly less money, why her brain kept telling her to "just take anything," and the specific mindset shifts that changed everything. From hating networking to landing her role through an authentic July conversation that manifested months later, Jessica's story proves what's possible when you stop fighting for your limitations.

Hear how she used the cocktail party method, managed her anxiety about the future, and why she says coaching gave her more results than years of therapy. If you're exhausted from the "numbers game" and wondering if you should just settle, this episode will show you there's another way.

Are you secretly applying for jobs you're overqualified for because you think it's your only option? In this raw, unfiltered episode recorded at 5am, I'm saying the thing that might trigger some people, but needs to be said.

I'm calling out the posts on LinkedIn where people are defending why they should be considered for lower-level roles, and why fighting for your limitations is keeping you stuck. Your brain wants certainty so badly that it's convinced you taking scraps is the "realistic" choice. But here's what I know after coaching hundreds of people: when you can't even get the job you're overqualified for, it's not because the market is impossible, it's because you're trying to solve the wrong problem.

I share the story of a client who thought he "just put together some PowerPoints" (spoiler: he didn't), why employers' concerns about overqualified candidates are actually valid, and the harsh truth about what skills you're missing that worked fine 20 years ago but don't cut it now. If you're tired of shrinking yourself and ready to learn what actually works, this episode won't coddle you, but it will show you the way forward.
