    How to Know When It’s Time to Leave Your Job: 6 Signs & What to Do Next

    How do you know when it’s time to leave your job—and when you’re simply going through a difficult season? One bad Monday doesn’t necessarily mean you should quit. But when your job begins to drain your confidence, affect your health, conflict with your values, and change who you are outside of work, it may be time to examine the pattern. In this episode of Sip on This, I break down six signs it may be time to leave your job: ☕ Your job is affecting who you are outside of work. ☕ You no longer recognize yourself at work. ☕ You’ve outgrown your role. ☕ Your values no longer align with the workplace. ☕ You’ve tried to improve the situation, but nothing changes. ☕ Fear is the primary reason you’re staying. I also discuss how to document workplace concerns, evaluate your finances, update your résumé and LinkedIn profile, identify your transferable skills, and create a thoughtful exit plan before making a major career decision. Knowing it may be time to leave does not mean you have to quit tomorrow. There is a difference between deciding to leave and being prepared to leave.

    Why You're Not Getting Interviews (The Resume & LinkedIn Mistake Nobody Talks About)

    Why aren't you getting interviews? It may not be your experience. It may be how you're presenting it.

    How many times have you told yourself:"I'm too old.""They don't like me.""No one will choose me.""I'm not qualified."But where's the evidence?In this episode of Sip on This, I explore one of the biggest reasons people stay stuck—not because they lack talent or ability, but because they repeat the same internal story until it becomes their identity.We'll talk about limiting beliefs, assumptions that become self-fulfilling prophecies, why confidence often stays trapped in one area of our lives, and how asking one simple question—"What's your evidence?"—can completely change the way you see yourself.If you've ever struggled with self-doubt, imposter syndrome, fear of rejection, or feeling stuck in your career or personal life, this conversation is for you.📚 Books Recommended:📖 The Book of Awakening brings daily passages of inspiration towards clarity and deep introspection.📖 The Mountain Is You is a powerful book about self-sabotage, emotional resilience, and becoming the person you want to be.📖 Mindset: The New Psychology of Success explains how changing the way you think about challenges and failure can transform every area of your life.📖 The Gifts of Imperfection is a compassionate guide to letting go of self-judgment and embracing authenticity over perfection.☕ Join Coffee with Ms. D – A free monthly online community for people navigating career transitions, life changes, relationships, and second acts.📅 First Friday of every month | 10:00 AM ET🌐 Register: https://coachingwithmsd.com/coffee🌐 Website: https://coachingwithmsd.com📧 Email: deirdre@coachingwithmsd.com👍 If this episode encouraged you, please like the video, subscribe to the channel, and share it with someone who may be believing a story that simply isn't true.

    Why I Created Coffee with Ms. D | Real Community in a World Full of Sales Pitches

    Everywhere we turn, someone is trying to sell us something. A networking event becomes a referral group. A LinkedIn connection becomes a sales pitch. A simple conversation turns into a business opportunity. It can be exhausting. Not every relationship needs to be monetized. In this episode of Sip on This, I share why I created Coffee with Ms. D - a free monthly community built on conversation, encouragement, support, and genuine human connection. This isn't networking. It isn't lead generation. It isn't a sales funnel. It's a place where women and men can show up, share their experiences, learn from one another, and simply belong. Because sometimes the most valuable thing someone can offer isn't advice...It's a seat at the table. ☕ Join Coffee with Ms. D 📅 First Friday of every month | 10:00 AM ET 🌐 Register: https://coachingwithmsd.com/coffee 🌐 Website: https://coachingwithmsd.com 📧 Email: deirdre@coachingwithmsd.com If this conversation resonated with you, I'd love for you to like, subscribe, and share it with someone looking for authentic connection.

    The Moment You Realize Your Life No Longer Fits You | Reinvention, Identity & Second Acts

    ☕ Sometimes the hardest moment in life isn't failure. It's waking up one day and realizing… everything looks fine—but something feels off. Your career works. Your relationships look good. You built this life. But somewhere along the way… You changed. In this episode of Sip on This, we're talking about that quiet moment nobody prepares you for—the moment you realize your life no longer fits the version of who you're becoming. Before you quit your job. Before you leave your relationship. Before you reinvent everything. Pause. This conversation explores identity shifts, second acts, burnout, fulfillment, and the permission to evolve without burning down your entire life. 📚 If this episode resonates, here are 5 books I recommend: The Alchemist — Paulo CoelhoWhy: A beautiful reminder that personal evolution often starts with listening to the quiet voice you've ignored. Think Again — Adam GrantWhy: Challenges the idea that changing your mind means failure. Reinvention requires rethinking. The Second Mountain — David BrooksWhy: Explores moving from achievement and external success toward deeper meaning and contribution. The Top Five Regrets of the Dying — Bronnie WareWhy: Powerful perspective on what people wish they had allowed themselves to pursue. The Book of Awakening — Mark NepoWhy: Daily reflections that help reconnect you to yourself instead of performance. ☕ Ready for a deeper conversation? Join me for Coffee with Ms. D — my free monthly Zoom gathering for women navigating change, reinvention, relationships, career transitions, and discovering what comes next. No pressure. No perfect answers. Just real conversation, reflection, connection… and maybe one next step.
