In this episode of Career Clarity Unlocked, career clarity expert and 5x certified career coach Theresa White takes you inside a real, live coaching session with Anna, a high-performing marketer who’s climbed fast, checked all the right boxes… and still felt a quiet pull for something more.

On paper, Anna’s career is impressive. In reality, she wants to understand what actually energizes her, why certain projects light her up while others drain her, and what her next level really looks like.

Together, Theresa and Anna unpack her Sparketypes:

1. The Scientist — problem-solver, system-fixer, puzzle-cracker
2. The Maven — curious learner, deep diver, driven by the need to know more

If you love solving messy problems, get energized by research and strategy, and feel your soul slowly leave your body when work shifts into maintenance mode… this episode will feel uncomfortably familiar.

This conversation is a masterclass in what career clarity actually looks like in real time. Not reinventing yourself. Not starting over. But seeing the pattern of who you already are, naming it, and building a career that fits how you’re wired.
