What does having your dream career mean to you?


Hello Reader,

Do you know what a dream career means to you?

  • making the money you need for the lifestyle you want?
  • doing work that matters and uses your talents and strengths?
  • giving you the time you need to pick your kids up from school every day?

If you want to design a dream career, you have to know what matters to you, so you know when a career supports what matters to you or takes it away from you.

Most people won't give this much thought.

The default is to pick the job that pays you the most.

But everything has a trade-off. What are you willing to trade off in your life for that higher-paying job?

If the answers aren't coming to you immediately, perhaps it's time to get clear on it.

When you're clear about what's important to you and what you're willing to trade off for it, career decisions become simple.

Get your answers in my free career journaling workshop happening later today at 8 PM, Singapore time.

It’s about fear. And how it sneaks into our decisions when we’re building a business and trying to grow into the next version of...

Hi Reader, I used to hide behind quote posts and faceless content. What would my corporate colleagues think if they saw me talking about my side hustle? What if my boss questioned my commitment? What if other moms judged me for 'trying to do it all'? So I stayed invisible. Safe updates only. No personal stories. No mention of my business. But here's what I realized: My fear of judgment was keeping me from helping the working mom scrolling at 11 PM, feeling completely trapped between a job...

Reader, If you’ve ever felt so overwhelmed by all the advice about 'how to grow your business' that you don’t know what to do anymore… I get it. As a full-time working mom myself, I know how hard it is to juggle family, career, and the dream of building something on the side. When we’re already stretched thin, the noise of conflicting strategies only adds to the exhaustion. This week on the podcast, I shared: Why overwhelm keeps you stuck (and what it’s really doing to your brain and body)...
