In this inspiring episode, Marina chats with Nicole Stewart, Women's Leadership & Somatic Coach, and advocate for women stepping into their full potential. Together, they unpack the habits, stories and beliefs that quietly shape our careers and sometimes hold us back without us even realising. From overcoming the pressure of perfectionism to navigating self-doubt and imposter syndrome, Nicole shares how women can begin rewriting the narratives that limit their professional growth.

Together they explore how deeply ingrained expectations around leadership, ambition and visibility influence the way we show up at work, and how to break free from old patterns that no longer serve us.

Whether you're actively job searching or simply craving more meaning, alignment or confidence in your career, this conversation will give you the tools to reflect, re-evaluate and reclaim your power.

Packed with heartfelt insights, honest storytelling and practical takeaways, this episode is a must-listen for any woman who's ready to lead with purpose, build self-trust and step unapologetically into the next chapter of her career.

In this episode, Marina welcomes mindset coach Gabor Bukovinszky for a powerful conversation on the inner battles many job seekers face, particularly men, during career transitions. With more than 20 years' experience helping high performers break through limitations, Gabor explains why so many struggle to ask for help and how deeply ingrained beliefs about strength, identity and self-worth can hold them back. He highlights the importance of reframing vulnerability as courage and creating safe, judgment-free environments where men can open up, reflect and reset their thinking.

The discussion dives into the mindset challenges men face when job loss strikes, particularly when their career has become their identity. Marina shares her own experience coaching male job seekers and how feelings of failure or low self-value can silently undermine confidence in interviews and applications. Gabor offers insights into helping men rebuild their sense of self, shift limiting beliefs, reconnect with purpose, and develop practices like solitude, reflection, and emotional awareness.

For job seekers navigating rejection, uncertainty and a rapidly changing market, Gabor reinforces that resilience begins with mindset. He shares practical ways to stay grounded, avoid taking setbacks personally and how to tap into deeper purpose and inner strength. This episode is a must-listen for anyone wanting to cultivate a stronger, more empowered mindset during the job search journey.
