Ep 67Thinking About a Career Change? Start Here
Cast your Webby vote for The Tamsen Show here! Thank you for your support 🧡 Tamsen left a 30-year career as a television news anchor at 52 without a plan that looked like a plan to anyone who knew her. This is the episode where she tells you exactly what that felt like, what kept her stuck, and what finally made her go. Whether you're burned out and not sure if that's the whole story, quietly building something on the side and wondering if you should take the leap, or staying somewhere that no longer fits because at least you know who you are there, this conversation meets you where you are. Because most career advice wasn't made for women at this stage of life. And the voice that says you should have figured this out earlier isn't telling you the truth. You'll learn how to: - Tell the difference between burnout and boredom, and why it changes everything - Answer the identity question that keeps most women stuck longer than anything else - Find the skills that travel with you no matter what the next chapter looks like - Build a runway before you leap, and what that actually means in practice - Use the overlap period to get clarity, not just hustle This episode is also for the woman who isn't quite ready to leave yet but knows something is shifting. You don't have to have a plan. You just have to start listening. Career transitions at midlife are one of the most common things women navigate alone. If this conversation helped you feel less alone in it, we'd love to hear from you.

Ep 63If You’re Going Through a Friendship Breakup You Need To Hear This
If you have ever lost a friend and felt like you weren't allowed to grieve it, this episode is for you. In this deeply personal solo episode, Tamsen opens up about one of the most painful experiences women carry quietly: the friendship breakup. Whether it ended with a blowup, a slow fade, or a silence that just kept getting louder, the loss of a close friend can hurt just as much as a romantic breakup, and yet the world rarely gives you permission to treat it that way. Tamsen shares her own story of losing a close friend around the time of her wedding, the years of silence that followed, and the phone call that finally changed everything. She also breaks down the science behind why friendship loss registers in your brain as physical pain, and introduces a term from psychology you may have never heard, but will immediately recognize. She also shares 5 tools to help you start moving through it, not around it. You'll learn how to: - Write the letter you never have to send (but desperately need to write) - Use the two-column method to get honest about what the friendship really was - Ask yourself the one question before you reach out or try to fix it - Stop filling the space before you've heard what it's telling you This episode is also for the woman who was the one who pulled away, who stopped calling back, who outgrew someone she used to love. The guilt of that is real too, and Tamsen doesn't skip over it. Friendship loss is one of the most common experiences women share and one of the least talked about. If this conversation helped you feel less alone in it, we’d love to hear from you.
