Career Design Notes - Real decisions. Real trade-offs. Real career redesign.
Most women don’t design their careers. They default into them.
Climb the ladder.
Stay for stability.
Do what’s expected.
And then one day, it stops working.
Career Design Notes is where I share how I’m redesigning my career as a working mom while keeping my job, raising my kids, and building something on the side.
No hype.
No complicated strategies.
Just real decisions, real trade-offs, and a simpler way to think about building a career that actually supports your life.

116. Going for What Your Heart Wants is the Logical Way
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
This week’s podcast episode is about something I notice a lot of people (including me) do.
And that’s making excuses and rationalizing something we know in our hearts we want, but because it involves some scary moves, we tell ourselves that’s not the practical, realistic thing to do.
So we continue telling ourselves it’s better that we stick to what we know is the safer option, the more ‘responsible’ option and try to push away what we feel in our heart.
Living this way is out of alignment with your true self. This true inner self knows what she wants. Sometimes, this choice is the more difficult one. But it’s the one that could lead to a richer, more fulfilling life.
Instead of rationalizing it away, how about embracing it, then use that rational mind of yours to figure out how to make it work?
This shift in perspective from what’s impossible to how we can make it possible is the difference between settling for second best or going out and creating your perfect dream life!
