Jess + Claude are back to kick off Season 3: Work Besties Who Grow—a realistic, micro-intentions approach to career glow-ups with fewer breakdowns (hopefully). You’ll get the full year roadmap by quarter + month, plus practical micro intentions you can start this week.

In This Episode

• Why Season 3 is about tiny steps → big change
• How we’re structuring every month: Kickoff → Guests → Work Bestie Lens
• January theme: New Year, New You (soft resets, not reinvention)
• Micro intentions you can actually stick to (with examples)
• The 5-minute weekly Work Bestie check-in (3 questions)
• Small digital detox boundaries that don’t require quitting your phone
• What’s coming up next + how to send us topic/guest requests

Episode Highlights / Key Takeaways

Micro intention ideas (pick ONE for 7 days):

1. One tiny career move (send the email, update the resume, book the coffee chat)
2. One boundary sentence (“I can get that to you by tomorrow at 3pm—unless you want me to reprioritize.”)
3. One visibility moment (speak once in a meeting, share a win with your manager, post one insight)
4. One reset ritual (1–3 minutes) (end-of-day prep, short walk between meetings, quick list rewrite)

Weekly 5-minute Work Bestie check-in (use these 3 questions):

• What felt heavy today?
• What was a win?
• How can I support you?

Small tech boundaries (choose one):

• No email before 9am or after 6pm
• No screens during meals
• Swap bedtime scrolling for a reset (book, water, short walk)

Q1: Reset + Direction (New Year, New You)

• January: Reset & Micro Intentions (tiny steps that stick)
• February: Authenticity + Personal Branding (how you want to show up)
• March: Career Clarity + Pivoting (where you are vs. where you want to go)

Q2: Skills + Confidence Building

• April: Money Moves (pay confidence, negotiation, value)
• May: Mentorship & Sponsorship (finding advocates, being one)
• June: Communication (hard convos, clarity, influence)

Q3: Boundaries + Energy Resetting

• July: Boundaries (protect your peace without the guilt)
• August: Burnout Prevention + Energy Management (systems for sustainability)
• September: Reset Rituals + Digital Detox (recharge habits that actually work)

Q4: Leadership + Systems + Mental Wellness (Finish Strong, Not Fried)

• October: Leadership (leading with or without the title)
• November: Systems (workflows, prioritization, repeatable routines)
• December: Mental Wellness + Reflection (close the year strong—not crispy)
