I know why you’re not getting interviews. Do you? It’s the same resume and LinkedIn mistake most professionals make, and you probably aren’t even aware you are doing it. As a career coach, I hear this all the time: "I've applied for dozens of jobs, updated my resume, polished my LinkedIn profile...so why am I still not getting interviews?" If you've asked yourself that question, you're not alone. Many professionals assume the problem is a lack of experience. In reality, the i

Starting over after 40 has become one of the most common fears I hear from people navigating career changes, life transitions, relationships, and second acts. How about a reframe? Instead of starting over, let’s say we are evolving. Growing. Progressing. And my favorite, living your life as your authentic self. Your version. No one else’s. Too often we hear, “Oh. Wow. You’re starting over.” When someone changes careers at 45. Starts a business at 52. Goes back to school at 60

The Self-Help Loop Has You Trapped The self-help loop has you trapped like a hamster wheel. If another podcast, self-help book, online course, certification, planner, YouTube video, or productivity hack were going to fix your life…You would already be fixed. That sentence may feel uncomfortable to read, especially if you are someone deeply invested in growth. Someone who reads, learns, researches, journals, reflects, and genuinely wants more out of life.

This is what I call boundary creep. And it happens in workplaces every single day. Why Pro

Confidence gets too much credit. “Just believe in yourself.” “Be confident.” “Think like a problem-solver.” It all sounds good. Clean. Simple. Almost comforting. Until your confidence has been completely knocked out of you. That’s the part we don’t talk about enough. Not everyone is starting from a place of belief. Some people start from exhaustion. From self-doubt that didn’t come out of nowhere. From experiences that slowly chipped away at who they thought they were. A toxi

Why are successful women often targeted online? Besides having to field cyber beggars and digital panhandlers, we also must block bottom-feeding scam artists. It seems the more visible successful women are, the more sophisticated catfishing scams become. A celebrity imposter tried to catfish me on Substack. That in and of itself is ironic. Substack is the social media of the intelligent. If Twitter used to be where the cool kids in high school hung out (till Musk took over),
