    The Power of Yet: One Word That Can Change Your Mindset

    What if the thing standing between where you are and where you’re meant to be isn’t a lack of talent, clarity, or ability—but simply the belief that you should already be there? In this solo episode of Soulful Career Calling, host Kasi Beaney explores the quiet but transformative power of one tiny, three-letter word: yet. So many teens and young adults are carrying an invisible pressure to have their futures figured out—to know the right major, choose the right career, discover their purpose, and somehow map out a life they haven’t even had the chance to fully experience yet. And as parents, it can be difficult to watch our kids sit in that uncertainty without wanting to rush in and help them find the answers. But what if the uncertainty isn’t something we need to fix? What if it’s simply part of becoming? Through the lens of growth mindset, neuroscience, and the wisdom she has gathered from interviewing people with incredibly different career journeys, Kasi explores how adding the word yet can create space where self-doubt once lived. “I don’t know what I want to do with my life” becomes “I don’t know what I want to do with my life… yet.” That tiny shift reminds us that the story is still being written. This episode offers practical mindset strategies for parents, teens, and young adults who are navigating career uncertainty, perfectionism, fear of failure, and the pressure to have everything figured out. Kasi shares how to reframe limiting beliefs, celebrate progress instead of perfection, and create more space and grace for growth along the way. Because almost no meaningful life or career journey begins with a perfectly drawn roadmap. Clarity often comes slowly—in the trying, the failing, the pivoting, the questioning, and the courage to keep moving forward before we know exactly where the road will lead. Sometimes we don’t need all the answers to take the next step. We simply need to believe there is still more to our story. You may not know the path yet.You may not feel ready yet.You may not see what’s waiting for you around the corner yet. And that one little word can make all the difference.

    Called to Serve: An Unexpected Career in Law Enforcement with Erik Atkinson

    Sometimes the path that changes your life begins with someone else seeing something in you that you haven’t yet recognized in yourself. For Eric Atkinson, that moment came at age 31. After earning a business degree and exploring several different career paths, a friend recognized that Eric’s empathy, discipline, and natural ability to connect with people might make him a great police officer. Nearly two decades later, Eric is a Police Lieutenant leading an investigations team and helping guide others through one of the most demanding careers in public service. In this episode of Soulful Career Calling, Eric takes us behind the badge for an honest and deeply human conversation about the realities of criminal investigations, the sacrifices that come with a career in law enforcement, and the leadership lessons he has learned along the way. In this episode, you’ll hear about: • How an unexpected career path led Eric to find purpose in law enforcement. • The childhood experiences, mentors, and team sports that shaped his discipline and leadership style. • Why great leadership is never one-size-fits-all—and the value of allowing people to “fail forward.” • What criminal investigations really look like behind the scenes and why cases often require patience, persistence, and an entire team. • The sacrifices officers and their families make, including missed holidays, milestones, and time together. • Why every victim’s case deserves care and urgency, even when answers don’t come easily. • The moments that reaffirm Eric’s sense of purpose: helping victims find closure, recovering what was taken from them, and watching his team succeed. Eric’s story is a powerful reminder that meaningful careers don’t always follow a straight line. Sometimes purpose is found through experience, encouragement, and being willing to see in ourselves what someone else may have recognized all along. This is a heartfelt conversation about law enforcement careers, criminal investigations, police leadership, mentorship, teamwork, public service, career change, and finding purpose through service to others.

    Healing Happens Here: Katie Chin on Family, Food, and Finding Your Way Back

    What happens when the life you've carefully built no longer feels like your own? This week on Soulful Career Calling, I sit down with celebrity chef, cookbook author, entrepreneur, and storyteller Katie Chin for one of the most heartfelt conversations I've had on the show. Katie's journey is anything but linear. Raised in the kitchens of her mother's restaurants, she initially ran from the culinary world to pursue a successful career as a Hollywood marketing executive. But after the devastating end of an emotionally abusive marriage and a battle with depression, she found herself returning to the very place she once left behind—the kitchen. What followed was not only a career transformation, but a profound journey of healing, self-discovery, and embracing her cultural identity. Together, we explore how vulnerability can become a superpower, why it's never too late to reinvent yourself, and how the simplest acts—like making dumplings with someone you love—can help mend even the deepest wounds. If you've ever wondered whether your setbacks might actually be setting you up for something greater, this episode is for you. In this episode, we discuss: • How Katie went from Hollywood marketing executive to celebrity chef and entrepreneur• Healing from heartbreak, depression, and an emotionally abusive marriage• Why speaking your pain out loud removes shame and creates freedom• The simple ritual of making dumplings with her mother that changed her life• Reclaiming cultural identity and embracing the parts of yourself you once tried to hide• The courage to take a leap before you feel ready—and trusting your "spotters" will catch you• How storytelling can transform pain into connection and purpose• Why giving back and serving others can be one of the most powerful forms of self-healing Katie's wisdom you'll carry with you long after the episode ends: ✨ Leap, and the net will appear.✨ Shame loses its power when it's spoken out loud.✨ Healing doesn't always happen in grand moments—it often begins in the quiet, ordinary ones.✨ The parts of your story you've struggled with most may become the very things that help others heal. This episode is a beautiful reminder that transformation isn't about becoming someone new. Sometimes, it's about finding your way back to who you've always been.
