    Who Are You Without Your Job?

    Have you ever wondered "how do I not define who I am by what I do?" Someone asked this exact question on Instagram. I shared my video response to her on LinkedIn & this has been viewed now over 350,000 times. This showed me there is a dire need to get women support to stop linking your identity with your job title because when we do, our confidence and self worth can take a huge hit. Your job is what you do—it was never supposed to be who you are. But when you’ve spent years climbing the ladder, chasing promotions, and proving yourself, it’s easy to blur the lines between what you do and who you are. So, let me ask you a tough question: If your career disappeared tomorrow, would you still know yourself? If that question stings a little, this episode is for you. In this episode, we’re diving into:✨ Why 70% of professionals tie their identity to their job—and the hidden dangers of doing so✨ The real-life thoughts and behaviors that show you’ve made work your identity (without realizing it)✨ How this mindset slowly chips away at your confidence, self-worth, and personal fulfillment✨ Powerful, thought-provoking questions to help you rediscover who you are outside of work✨ A mindset shift that will set you free and help you build confidence beyond your career Your job title is not your identity. Your paycheck doesn’t determine your worth. You are so much more than your resume. 🎯 Want to redefine success on your own terms? Tune in now and take the first step toward separating your self-worth from your work. 💡 Loved this episode? Share it with a friend who needs this message, and don’t forget to leave a rating & review! Your support helps more women build unshakable confidence. 📩 Want to work with me? Let’s chat! DM me on LinkedIn and we can talk about getting you the support you need right now.

    10 Habits Women With High Career Confidence Do Daily

    Have you ever wondered what sets confident, successful women apart in their careers? Let me share a secret: it all comes down to the habits you do daily. Career confidence isn’t something you’re born with—it’s something you build through intentional thoughts and actions every single day. And today, you’re getting the insider scoop on the 10 micro habits that successful women swear by. These habits don’t just boost confidence—they’ll transform your career, your energy, and your entire vibe. This is something important I need you to know as we start this conversation: Before anything can become a habit, it has to be a practice. A practice = The intentional, repeated action of doing something, even when it feels hard. A habit = When that practice becomes second nature—automatic and effortless. As James Clear, author of Atomic Habits, says: "You do not rise to the level of your goals. You fall to the level of your systems." The habits we’re talking about today start as the small daily actions that become the habitual systems that build unshakable confidence over time. By the end of this episode, you’ll have 10 simple, game-changing habits that will: • Help you step into your power. • Boost your energy & confidence. • Set you up for sustainable career success. PS: If you’ve ever felt like confidence is for “other people,” I’m here to tell you that’s not true. Confidence isn’t built in one big leap - it’s created through small, intentional actions every single day. Think of confidence like a muscle. You don’t wake up with ripped abs—you build them through daily workouts. These 10 habits are your “career gym.” Every small habit you practice strengthens your confidence muscle until it becomes unshakable. If you’re ready to step into your power and take your career to the next level, this is your moment to shift. Let’s dive in! PS: To dive deeper into these 10 habits, be the FIRST grab my FREE guide that just launched TODAY! ⁠TAP HERE TO DOWNLOAD YOUR GUIDE NOW⁠ What’s Inside Your Guide: • 10 Habits Women With High Career Confidence Do Daily. • Creating Your Career Confidence Exercise. • 5-Minute Career Confidence Activation. • Confident Interview Guide. • 21 Questions to Build Professional Clarity. • Daily Success Planner. • Handpicked podcast episodes to help you build confidence.
