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.

188: Breaking the Cycle of Financial Anxiety: A Step Towards Resilience
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode, I break down what I mean by financial resilience - moving from fear, panic, and anxiety around money to feeling calm, clearheaded, confident, and empowered even before you've achieved your financial goals.
I share why the first step to financial resilience is awareness. On the practical side, this means getting organized and knowing where your money is coming and going. More importantly, and less discussed, on the psychological side, observing your money behaviors and the patterns behind them.
I introduce the idea of “money disorders” (avoidance, worship, and relational issues) and how early experiences and financial flashpoints can shape how you react to money.
I share the power of pausing to self-soothe, including simple techniques like breathing, mindful practices, movement, and more empowering self-talk to help you get better at overcoming money challenges and make a simple, doable plan instead of reacting from anxiety and fear.
If you've tried all the money tactics like saving, budgeting, investing, planning and still anxious about money, this episode is for you.
