    Building Confidence Through Self-Validation Cycles

    2026/05/26 | 31 mins.
    The root cause of all of your problems is a lack of self-validation. Let me explain…
    This isn't some self-love, woo-woo kind of thing. 
    I want you to think about every one of your maladaptive behaviors: 
    People-pleasing - needing other people to be happy with you so that you can feel good about yourself 
    Perfectionism- needing everything to be perfect so that you can believe you're good enough 
    High-achiever- needing to keep achieving milestones to feel like you're worthy 
    Obsessing over what other people think of you - needing other people's approval so you can believe you're good.
    Imposter syndrome- insisting on believing you're not good enough when all of your achievements prove otherwise
    And on and on. 
    Every. Single. One comes from your inability to validate yourself.

    Your quit plan

    2026/04/28 | 29 mins.
    In the latest episode of "Lessons from a Quitter," we dive deep into crafting a well-rounded Quit Plan. It all starts with an honest self-assessment—unearthing why you're itching to leave that job of yours. You know, those reasons you might not even want to admit to yourself. We begin by understanding the underlying motives for leaving our current situation. Next, I guide you to explore your dreams and paint a picture of the life you desire. This way, you can dissect your strengths and skills and start to explore various career options that align best with your true desires. I also help you break down your finances so you can calculate your financial runway once you do quit. Once we crunch the numbers, you can explore whether it's truly the cash or your thoughts about it that are keeping you stuck at your job. And all those doubts you've been harboring about quitting? I have you list your worries, confront them, and come up with a game plan for every single one. Trust me, it's empowering. Listen and work through the six steps for your personalized quit plan, one that's going to guide you to the life you've been craving.
