    Finding Your Purpose: How to Choose the Right Career | Career Mindset

    Text Jule :) If you have no career direction, feel trapped by the golden handcuffs, and don't know what your next step is, I get it. I spent 39 years cycling through careers I didn't enjoy before I finally found my calling in coaching. In this episode, I talk about why so many of us end up stuck in careers we don't care about and how to find your calling when you don't know where to start. Topics covered in this episode: Why we fall into careers based on convenience, money, or momentum instead of genuine fitHow promotions and lifestyle creep make it harder to leave the longer you stayThe real reason most people won't go after what they want (and it's not money or experience)Why we're more willing to fail at things we don't care about than risk failing at something we loveAn exercise I use with my coaching clients to identify what you're genuinely obsessed with, not just what you're good atHow to connect that obsession to an actual career pathDealing with people who judge you for starting over (I've done it more times than I can count)Why quitting what isn't meant for you is an act of self-trustIf you've been wondering whether there's more to your career than what you're doing now, this one's for you.

    What is a Friend? Adult Friendships & Defining What Friendship Means As You Get Older

    Text Jule :) Adult friendships are complicated, and figuring out what friendship means as you get older is something most of us are just winging. At some point, you start losing friends, or realizing the ones you have don't quite fit anymore, and you're left wondering what is a friend, really, and what do I actually need from the people around me? I sat down with four people to explore their experiences with friends to answer exactly that.  What came out of these conversations wasn't what I expected. We get into what makes a good friend for you, which in turn, might give some hints on how to also be a better friend. In this episode: How friendship needs shift with every season of life, and why growing apart doesn't mean anyone failedThe grief of losing a long-time friendship you didn't choose to endWhat give and take in a friendship actually looks like in practiceHow to define what a friend really means to you, and why most of us have never stopped to think about itWhy expecting every friend to show up the same way sets you up for disappointmentWhat it looks like to be genuinely content with a small, intentional circleGuests: Jaclyn Mrozek, Mark Chepelyuk, Sandra Park, Von Bondoc Support the show Interested in coaching with Jule?

    How to Stop Comparing Yourself to Others: The Comparison Trap

    Text Jule :) How to stop comparing yourself to others: why the comparison trap is actually a safety problem. If you've been stuck in unhealthy comparison and wondering why do we compare ourselves to others even when we know it's bad for us, this episode is going to change what you understand about it.  I kept seeing this pattern in my clients, my friends, pretty much everyone around me. They can't stop comparing and they're exhausted. So I dug into it, and what I found changed how I think about all of it. In this episode, I'm getting into: The hidden four-step cycle behind every destructive comparison cycle, including the one step nobody catchesWhy your brain treats comparison like a safety mechanism, and why "just stop comparing" has never worked for anyoneWhere your self-worth is actually attached and why that determines whether comparison wrecks you or rolls right offWhat you can actually do about itGrab my TEA Chart here.

    How Relationship Advice From Social Media Gets It SO Wrong: Boundaries, Values, and Needs

    Text Jule :) Relationship advice from Reddit gets a lot of things wrong. As a coach who works with couples and individuals on communication, boundaries, and emotional patterns, I break down three of the most common relationship posts and unpack what people are asking versus what they actually need to resolve. In this episode, I cover: A girlfriend wondering if she's being manipulative for demanding her boyfriend go to therapy, and why the real issue isn't about manipulation at allHow to tell the difference between a relationship that needs work and one that's just incompatibleWhy a boyfriend asking "what words should I use?" is focused on technique when the actual problem is a misalignment on emotional privacy and loyaltyThe most popular Reddit advice on compatibility, ranked, including "trust your gut," "if they cared, they would," and "if it feels like work, it's the wrong relationship"Why some of the most upvoted advice is actually the most damaging, and the questions I'd invite each of these people to sit with insteadIf you keep having the same arguments and nothing changes, it's probably because you're solving for the wrong problem. This episode will help you figure out what the real issue is so you can finally stop going in circles. This is part one of a three-part series on how to handle the people in your life, starting with partners. Friendship and workplace dynamics are coming next.

    Making Good Money But No Savings? Money Traps and Financial Literacy from Women in Tech

    Text Jule :) If you're a high-earning woman wondering "why can't I save money," you're not alone. The women and money conversation rarely addresses what happens when you're smart, educated, and still struggling financially.  In this episode, financial coach Sandra Park and I share the money mindset shifts that finally helped us stop overspending and start building wealth. We get brutally honest about our own money mistakes: my near-daily Amazon orders during my time at Amazon, Sandra's multiple real estate moves, and the "I deserve this" mentality that kept us both stuck. Sandra shares why women in STEM and other high-pressure careers often struggle with money despite their intelligence and education. We talk about why we outsourced our financial decisions to the men in our lives, the mental load that keeps women from learning financial systems, and what actually works when you're ready to take control. Topics covered: Why making more money often leads to more money problemsThe "keeping up with the Joneses" trap in corporate environmentsRetail therapy, stress spending, and the entitlement mindsetHow women outsource financial decisions (and why we need to stop)The mental load difference and why women want simpler financesSandra's order of operations for getting your money rightThe spending category that destroys most budgetsOne 30-day exercise that changes everythingWhen to get help instead of figuring it out aloneConnect with Sandra Park: Website | LinkedIn: Sandra Park | Engineer Her Path Podcast Support the show Interested in coaching with Jule?
