I know I've been quiet since I announced my parental leave back in October, and that's because I've been taking some time to reflect while rapidly working on new programs and refining my marketing and messaging. Recently, I revisited my journals from 2023 and realized there have been significant developments over the last year, laying the foundation for my career pivot, which I'm excited to share with you in this update. In 2014, when I started my career coaching practice, a mentor advised me that to have a successful business meant to find what works, build on it, and rinse and repeat. He als ..read more

Have you ever considered making a career change, only to discover that the career options that you've researched leave you disappointed or uninterested? In my experience, this dissatisfaction often stems from two key reasons: 1. The Dream Job Dilemma: As individuals explore various career possibilities, they may come to the realization that their dream job doesn't offer the desired financial compensation or may require more education than they are willing to pursue. This situation can be especially challenging for those who have held well-paying positions for an extended period. 2. The Li ..read more

Do you ever wake up in the morning, dreading the day ahead, feeling like you're stuck in a never-ending loop of exhaustion and frustration? You're not alone. Many of my clients reach out to me for one reason - they're burnt out and contemplating a career change, or considering starting their own business.

In the early days of launching my business, I recall investing countless hours in crafting a visually striking website, refining my niche, and tirelessly pursuing an unattainable level of perfection. What eluded me then, but has since become glaringly evident, is just how profoundly things would shift. Looking back, I can see why my initial "niche" centered on providing career coaching to students and young professionals, guiding them through choosing their major and career after college—and how this direction would eventually change. Many hurdles arose around affordability and ..read more

Have you ever felt that your innate talents are yearning for a bigger stage? Many of the clients I've had the privilege to work with share a common thread: the desire to thrive in their roles while sensing that their unique gifts remain untapped or under-tapped. Yet the fear of change can be a powerful force, keeping them anchored to familiar yet unfulfilling careers. This is because the human brain is wired to seek the familiar, making uncertainty a trigger for anxiety and sometimes even a sense of paralysis. However, from my own journey and working closely with clients, I've come to understa ..read more

I've shared before that Inner Compass Coach is technically my third business, as my first two ventures were misaligned with my true self and intrinsic drivers. And you know what? I've come to realize that I'm not alone in starting the wrong business. In fact, I've worked with many aspiring entrepreneurs who faced similar hurdles. I'll be honest—my journey wasn't without struggles. Each time I had a new idea, I would dive in headfirst, eager to share my new venture without doing thorough research, testing my concepts, or ensuring they truly aligned with my goals. After my first failed venture ..read more

In a recent group coaching session, a participant asked an important question: "How do I find job security?" Over my 12 years in this profession, I realize that job security is not a straightforward concept.  The days of pensions and tenures at a single company are long gone. While certain fields like accounting, nursing, and law may offer relative stability, even the tech industry, which was viewed as "stable" just two years ago, has experienced its share of instability. While some industries such as healthcare and consumer staples are expected to persist regardl ..read more
