Blood Sweat & Careers Austin Mark, Mallory Kaufman, Katherine

Show Notes Coming!

This week's guest has made a living building bridges both literally in Rwanda and figuratively as she’s cobbled together a dynamic career that’s taken her to some of the most beautiful and wild places on the planet. A friend of the pod Brooke Segerberg is Senior Biodiversity Research Officer with WWF that is taking her to Cambodia. We caught her days before her move! Brooke’s also acted as a biodiversity ranger and trapper in New Zealand. Led as a short-term consultant managing a footbridge program in eSwatini in Swaziland. And collected miller moths with a Dustbuster as a Wildlife Technician in Glacier National Park carrying out grizzly bear and moth research. Impressed yet?

Co-hosts Katherine, Mallory and Austin follow the thread of her career that taught her how to create connections, find rare opportunities and know when to switch up the routine. We also talk about just because a career sounds great on paper, doesn’t mean you won’t experience highs and lows along the way.

Survival Jobs: Is it a a phrase from multi-hyphenate jargon, career pivot or even a problematic term? Culturally, young people have shifted from gaining work experience (and paying for cars, college or just supporting the family) to gaining the "right" kind of work experience. Even as the pandemic displaced so many workers, there are stigmas around what’s a “worthy” job and the "right" way a career should progress. According to backstage.com a “survival job is a job someone takes to pay the bills while pursuing a career they love.” Co-hosts Mallory, Austin and Katherine circle up to discuss a listener suggested topic (thanks Kristen!). We parse this definition and more by exploring the complexities, hang ups and privilege tied to the concept.

How can you blend your personal passions with your work persona? What if those personal beliefs are what you might call "woo woo" and you're work demands a data-driven mindset? Our multi-hyphenate guest this week, Adrienne Granadosin-Deanes is a two-time entrepreneur and founder of Nawaya Life. Adrienne chats about using astrology for your career, why it feels so good to stand in your truth, charting her own path as a PoC and how everyone can start getting authentic with the work they do. Co-hosts Katherine, Mallory and Austin also talk about why "imposter syndrome" isn't just all in your head — once you know, you know! Our latest guest might even make you into an astrology believer (here's looking at you, Austin!), if you weren't before.
