  • The Language of Change: How to Use Self-Talk to Build Confidence and Momentum
    Dec 23 2025

    Episode 10: In this episode, Career Change Coach Dana Stevens helps you to shift your perspective on something that can quietly shape every part of your life: your self-talk.

    If your internal monologue is unhelpful and unkind, Dana explains how even small phrases can have a powerful impact. They could be keeping you stuck, holding back your confidence, and slowing down the change you want to create.

    Dana explores why the language you use with yourself and about yourself matters so much, and how shifting it can completely change how you feel, think, and act. You’ll hear real examples of common negative phrases and learn practical ways to reframe them into supportive, empowering language.

    By the end of this episode, you’ll see why committing to more compassionate, encouraging self-talk is one of the best gifts you can give yourself and how you can start making that change today.

  • Why It Helps To Start Building Up Your Confidence Before Changing Careers
    Dec 16 2025

    Episode 9: In this episode, Career Change Coach Dana Stevens talks about one of her favourite topics - Confidence. And why it’s essential to start building it before you make your next move.

    If you’ve ever told yourself, “I’ll feel more confident once I get the new job,” this episode will offer you a different perspective. I’ll explain why waiting for external validation can actually keep you stuck, and how taking ownership of your confidence now will make your transition smoother, more intentional, and far more empowering.

    You’ll also learn my Confidence Fire analogy, a simple but powerful way to understand why you need to be the one fueling your own confidence, rather than relying on others to light that spark for you.

    Whether you’re thinking about a career pivot or already planning your next step, this episode will help you take back control of your confidence and use it as the foundation for your next chapter.

  • How Limiting Beliefs Keep You Stuck (and Stop You From Changing Careers)
    Dec 9 2025

    Episode 8: In this episode, we’re diving into the powerful role that Limiting Beliefs play in keeping you stuck and how they can hold you back from making the career change you truly want.

    You’ll learn what Limiting Beliefs actually are, how to start identifying your own, and why simply becoming aware of them is the first step toward transformation. I’ll share how these beliefs can stop you from seeing new opportunities, keep you clinging to familiar patterns, and even make you doubt your ability to create the working life you really want.

    Most importantly, we’ll explore how awareness can help you shift those beliefs so you can move forward with confidence, openness, and a renewed sense of possibility in your career.

    If you’ve ever felt stuck, uncertain, or held back by fear, this episode will help you start breaking free from the thoughts that are keeping you from the career you’re meant to have.
