Taking Control of Your Career with Sally Spicer
Taking Control of Your Career is a career coaching podcast for women who know they’re capable of more but feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure where to start.
Hosted by career coach Sally Spicer, this podcast is about cutting through the noise, calming the panic, and having the honest conversations most of us avoid. There’s no hype, no hustle, and no pressure to have it all figured out — just clear thinking, practical tools, and grounded support to help you stop second-guessing yourself and start making career decisions that actually feel right.
If you’re navigating career transition, questioning your next move, or ready to redefine success on your own terms, this podcast will help you move from uncertainty to confident, intentional action.
Career clarity. Confidence. Control.
