Have you ever thought “I’m stuck. What’s wrong with me? Is this all there is? Today’s guest, Satya Doyle Byock, hears these refrains regularly in her psychotherapy practice where she works with “Quarterlifers,” individuals between the ages of (roughly) sixteen to thirty-six. She understands their frustration. Some clients have done everything “right”: graduate, get a job, meet a partner. Yet, they are unfulfilled and unclear on what to do next. While society is quick to label the emotions and behavior of this age group as generational traits, Satya sees things differently. She believes these struggles are part of the developmental journey of Quarterlife, a distinct stage that every person goes through which has been virtually ignored by popular culture and psychology. We’ll discuss her new approach to a quarterlife crisis, why it matters, and engage with Satya’s four pillars of Quarterlife development.

Durana shares not only her great advice for managers, and entrepreneurs but also talks about failures and feeling like she’s not doing enough. A feeling too many of us can relate to!

Why do some people break through and make an impact at work while others get stuck going through the motions? In every organization, there are Impact Players—those invaluable colleagues who can be counted on in critical situations and who consistently receive high-profile assignments and new opportunities. Whether they are on center stage or behind the scenes, managers know who these top players are, understand their worth, and want more of them on their team. While their impact is obvious, it’s not always clear what actually makes these professionals different from their peers. Today on the show we have Impact Players author and researcher, Liz Wiseman, here to explain what the most influential players are doing differently, how small and seemingly insignificant differences in how we think and act can make an enormous impact, and why—with a little coaching—this mindset is available to everyone who wants to contribute at their highest level.

The salary transparency movement is well underway: In 2021, Colorado paved the way for new laws requiring businesses to list salary ranges on job ads, and New York City rolled out its own pay range law in November 2022.

Today we’re discussing networking. Yes, it gets a bad rap but networking is a necessary skill to success—and it won’t seem that hard after a little practice. Plus, according to HubSpot, 85 percent of jobs are filled through networking. Seventy percent of jobs are never even published publicly, meaning that many opportunities come from simply talking to people — whether it’s a formal meeting or over an Instagram DM. It’s a daunting reality. Luckily, there are plenty of tactics and tools anyone can use to strengthen or build new relationships — and that’s what we’ll be covering today with the help of expert, Eliana Goldstein.

If you’ve ever felt burned out and then tried to “fix” it by upping your self-care routine, this episode is for you. You probably noticed that in between all your self-care efforts, the burnout from work wasn’t exactly going away. Today we’re joined by Dr. Justin Henderson a psychologist and educator who shares exactly why self-care isn’t the solution for a burned out workforce.
