Ep 83How Do I Recover From a Work Mistake?

Ep 75Are You Languishing? Here’s How to Feel Better
Languishing. Many of us are doing it without even being aware of what “it” is. Languishing is not burnout and it’s not quite depression, but it’s sort of like a cousin to both.

If this sounds familiar to you, listen up. On this episode we’ll be discussing why so many of us are languishing and why putting a name to a feeling helps and 5 pieces of advice on addressing your emotions both at work and in your personal life.

Ep 74The Most Important Career Advice You Haven't Heard Already
It’s pretty obvious that our careers have a huge impact on our finances, but your finances also have a huge affect on your career. Being financially stable gives you more options in your career and allows you to have a solid foundation to make choices from. That stability can make a huge difference if you need to leave a job you hate, take a career risk, or if you want to start your own business. Plus, studies have shown that employees who are stressed about their finances are less productive at work. The more you stay on top of your finances, the less stressed you’ll feel. That’s a win for your finances, career, and health!
