The Thrive Careers Podcast
If you’re trying to get your career back on track or you’re doing okay but know you’re meant for more, this podcast is for you.
Maybe you’ve moved countries, changed fields, taken survival jobs, or just feel like your work life doesn’t fully reflect who you are. You’re not lazy or confused—you’re just ready for something better and more honest.
I get it, because that was me. My career wasn’t a straight line. It was a mix of pivots, tough seasons, and quiet moments where I thought, “There has to be more than this.” Things changed when I learned how to tell my story, show my value, and build a career that actually fit my life—not the other way around.
I’m Olajumoke “Ola” Fatoki—career coach, HR strategist, and advocate for newcomers, women, and quietly ambitious professionals who know they’re capable of more.
On Thrive Careers Podcast, we have real, down-to-earth conversations about work, not just job titles.
You’ll get:
- Practical job search and LinkedIn tips (with a simple, human way to use AI)
- Support for career changes, moving countries, promotions, and coming back after burnout or a break
- Honest talk about imposter syndrome, self-doubt, and finding your voice at work
- Simple frameworks to help you grow, earn more, and build a career that works in real life—not just on paper
You’ll hear from career experts, hiring managers, and real professionals who’ve had to pivot, start again, or stretch into their next level. Together, we break down the mindset shifts and practical steps you can apply in your own career.
