The career advice that's keeping you stuck

Reader, I've been thinking about why so many smart, capable women feel stuck in their careers. And I realized something: We've been taught to build careers like men in the 1950s - linear, logical, based on external metrics of success. But what if your path is supposed to be different? What if your sensitivity isn't a weakness but a superpower? What if your intuition isn't 'soft' but your competitive advantage? What if your desire for meaningful work isn't 'unrealistic' but exactly what the...

Reader, Here's a stat that stopped me in my tracks: 73% of working mothers are planning a career change within the next 12 months. But here's what the research doesn't tell you: Most of them will make the same mistake I made for years - they'll change their job, not their approach. Different company, same exhaustion. New role, same feeling that something's missing. What if I told you the women who actually create careers they love aren't just changing jobs - they're changing how they make...

Seeing the shock, anger, and helplessness wash over their faces. Knowing that in an instant, their...

Reader, I have a confession. A decade ago, I got into a 6-figure business debt. I used to believe having more money solves all problems. Whenever there was something I didn't know how to or didn't want to deal with, I'd throw more money on it. When I would realized what I had done, I'd panic and stress. Hitting the 6-figure mark in debt was my wake-up call. The problem wasn't that I needed to become a financial expert. The problem was that I was stuck in survival mode, making decisions from...

Reader, I had a 6-figure salary and quit without a backup plan. Sounds crazy, right? But that impossible decision taught me the most expensive lesson of my career: 'stable' jobs aren't actually stable. The wake-up call My high-paying job was destroying my marriage. As the sole provider, I faced an impossible choice: Keep the job and risk losing my family. Or quit and risk our financial security. I chose my family and resigned. Then reality hit: No income. Bills still coming. Mortgage still...
