The Action Within: Align Your Career to You
The Action Within Podcast is for quietly ambitious women who feel lost in a career that’s never felt right.
If you’re successful on the outside but unfulfilled inside, this space is for you.
Each episode invites you to slow down, think deeply, and reconnect with who you truly are, so you can release a work identity that doesn’t fit, and move toward a career that feels aligned, energising and meaningful.
Hosted by Lindsay Perera, Career Alignment Coach and Mentor, the podcast blends honest reflection, grounded psychological insight, and practical tools to help you understand what truly drives you and make courageous, intentional steps toward work and life that truly suit you.
Rooted in Lindsay’s own journey out of chronic misalignment, this podcast is shaped by the same depth of insight and psychological clarity she brings to her signature 1-2-1 programme, Realise Your Ambition. Her work helps women uncover the patterns behind their career choices and rebuild the self-trust needed to choose differently.
