    How to Choose a Career Path When You Have Too Many Options

    You've done the informational interviews. You've had the coffee chats. You've made the lists. And somehow, you're more confused than when you started. This episode is for anyone drowning in career options and unable to choose. I'm coaching Amelia, a legal ops professional who'd been exploring a pivot for years—and kept getting more stuck with every conversation. The problem wasn't that she needed more information. She needed a filter. We cover: The 3-question filter to evaluate any opportunityAn exercise to get out of your head and feel your way forwardWhy the opportunity you need might already be in front of youWhat progress actually looks like (spoiler: not certainty) 📝 READ THE FULL WRITE-UP Includes the Pain/Budget/Proximity filter breakdown and key frameworks from this session.

    Stuck in Your Career? How to Finally Make the Pivot

    Do you keep exploring a career change... only to take the safe job every time? In this coaching session, I work with "Amelia"—a senior legal operations professional with 12+ years of experience who wants to pivot into helping creative entrepreneurs. The problem? Every time she gets close to making the leap, she defaults to the familiar. Three steps forward, one step back. We cover why your to-do list feels exhausting when your North Star is fuzzy, how the language you use might be blocking you, the difference between a "safety net" and "North Star" job search, what it really means when you hit a threshold—and the superpower she almost dismissed entirely. If you're stuck in a career you've outgrown or caught in the cycle of exploring but never committing, this one's for you.

    "I Know I'm Qualified—So Why Don't I Feel It?" | Coaching Session on Interview Anxiety & Self-Doubt

    Erin has been job searching for over a year. She's made it to final rounds, gotten painfully close, and walked away with rejection after rejection. The hardest part? She knows she's qualified. On paper, she has everything they're looking for. But the moment she gets on an interview call, something takes over—her chest tightens, her heart races, and a voice kicks in: You're not enough. In this coaching session, we dig into what's really going on. We map the physical sensations that show up under stress and design somatic practices to counter them. We unpack the stories she tells herself and find real evidence to challenge them. And we uncover a core truth: the thing she values most—connection—is exactly what's making rejection feel so devastating. This one's for anyone who's ever thought: I know I can do this, so why do I freeze up when it matters? In this episode: How to identify your body's stress response and create personalized antidotesThe difference between performing and connecting in interviewsWhy your inner critic needs evidence, not affirmationsUsing the "downward arrow" technique to find your core fearBuilding daily rituals that make confidence feel embodied, not forced🔗 Get the full breakdown + 7-day action plan at clairewasserman.substack.com

    You're Not Stuck—You're Incubating | Reframing Procrastination, Discipline & Self-Witnessing

    Ever feel like you should be further along? Like you've been "stuck" for months or years and can't figure out why? This coaching session might change how you see that. Tracy is a corporate executive who spent 5 years in what she called "procrastination." I call it incubation. In this episode, we get into: Why procrastination isn't always resistance—sometimes it's wisdomThe difference between discipline and rigidityWhat "consistency" actually looks like for fast-moving brainsThe practice of self-witnessing (catching yourself in a shame spiral and pausing)Micro-sprints: productivity for people who hate big blocks of timeHow to figure out what season you're really in and honor itIf you've been beating yourself up for not being more disciplined, this one's for you.

    Why "Eliminating Self-Doubt" Is the Wrong Goal (Do This Instead)

    Self-doubt isn't the enemy—it's misdirected energy. In this coaching session, we uncover why high-performers who are good at reading the room often struggle the most with confidence, and I teach a 10-second nervous system reset you can do under a conference table. We cover: ✅ The trap of building confidence on what you think others are thinking ✅ Why people pleasers thrive in client-facing roles but burn out faster ✅ The Four S's: A somatic technique to regulate your nervous system in real-time ✅ How to transform self-criticism into purposeful momentum ✅ The difference between eliminating self-doubt and dialoguing with it differently If you've ever left a meeting replaying everything you said, this one's for you. 🎯 For key insights and exercises, check out: https://clairewasserman.substack.com/p/why-eliminating-self-doubt-is-the

    How to Stop Shrinking When Things Get Hard | Career Coaching Session

    Have you ever pulled back after criticism, made yourself smaller to feel safe, or found yourself stuck in the same bad situation over and over again? In this coaching session, I work with Michelle—a mom and grad student in Australia working toward becoming a psychologist. She came in thinking she had a job problem: toxic environments, difficult bosses, and a resume full of short stints she couldn't explain. But what we uncovered was a deeper pattern. Years ago, Michelle took down all her books from Amazon after one negative comment. Within 24 hours. Everything gone. That same cycle—something feels unsafe, retreat, make yourself smaller—was showing up everywhere in her life. This session is about how to break that cycle. How to build safety inside yourself instead of waiting for the world to feel safe. How to stop hiding and start building. We cover:→ Why hiding feels safe but keeps you stuck→ How to create a cooling-off period before reactive decisions→ Building a somatic sense of compassion and courage→ Identifying your north stars (not job titles—what you actually do)→ Using a difficult season to invest in your future→ Why connection is the antidote to almost everything If you've ever wondered how to trust yourself when you keep getting it wrong, this episode is for you. 📝 Get the full post with key insights and action steps: clairewasserman.substack.com
