Over the last month I've had several conversations with people who have years in corporate experience, are also doing other things and have agonized over sharing their non linear path on LinkedIn.I get it as I spent years going back and forth, questioning, asking so many people if I should do it or not.And now looking back I regret all the energy I wasted on this.But I don't always have perfect clarity real time, and I decided to share a bit more about in today's solo episode.Let me know if you have or are questioning your LinkedIn profile update.I'm on a path where I'm leaning more and more into authentically expressing who I am and pretending and overthinking less and less...one step at a time:)If you enjoyed this episode, please share it with someone else.If you have any questions or would like to be a guest on the podcast DM me in IG www.instagram.com/careerintechincolorYou can find somatic movements I share for more energy and less stress on www.instagram.com/reigniteyourvitality Xo,BaibaSupport the show

You've built a beautiful life on paper but know there's something deeper calling you forward.I woke up at 5 AM with ideas flowing, and realized I needed to share an idea that's been crystallizing for me - the one ingredient for building aligned work that we often skip in our rush to "figure it all out."You'll hear about:The honest moment when I realized I was pouring my best self into work and had little left for what matteredHow being physically present but emotionally absent became my wake-up callWhy tending to your energy comes before any career exploration or purpose-finding exercisesWhy creating meaningful work requires the kind of energy that flows from being deeply nourishedThe simple foundations that actually restores you: quality rest, sunlight, movement that feels goodHow I found Qigong when my body was asking for gentleness, not an intense workoutWhy building work you love is beautifully non-linear and requires sustained inner resourcesHow my business pivot taught me that each iteration demands fresh creative energyThe truth about manifestation that nobody mentions: it takes life force to bring dreams into realityThe heart of it: Your dreams deserve to be built from a place of fullness. When you're running on empty, you can't access the intuition, creativity, and courage that your calling requires.This isn't about perfecting yourself before you go for your dreams. It's about honoring yourself enough to fill up your own cup.This is a must have if you're looking to design work on your own terms that's energy giving to you!Writer Sherianna Boyle said it brilliantly-It takes energy to manifestHere is a link to interview with Sherianna:Listen HereWhat is one thing you and your body need to increase your energy level?A little more sleep, water, nature, whole foods, movement?Can you truly prioritize it and start allowing yourself to recharge?Let me know what resonated most with you, and what is your heart longing for when it comes to your work in this season?DM me on IG www.instagram.com/careerintechnicolorMove with me www.instagram.com/reigniteyourvitality Xo,BaibaSupport the show

Are you in the season of pushing through or creating more spaciousness and moments of doing nothing?It's definitely not a one size fits all approach or answer of what's the right way.What are you needing and craving most this moment, today, this month or this season you're in?There are a ton of experts doubling down on one or the other, but the truth is, it's so individual and it varies.What is your body, heart and soul longing for right now? Have you checked in with the most important authority aka yourself?If not, I invite you to take a moment right now -how do you feel, what do you need, what season are you in?There are times where we can flow from slow to fast throughout the day easily and naturally, it doesn't have to be all or nothing or one or the other. Sometimes getting a to do done and off your physical and mental list, and creates more space and freedom and ease a few moments later.I believe it's really important for us to create moments of spaciousness in our days, it could be in the mornings, evenings or whatever works best for you. Slower mornings have felt really good  and supportive to me  this summer.I'm also a big believer in needing to slow down, especially for introverts.Introverts naturally need more rest, slowing down and recharging. I'd love to hear from you - what season are you in right now, what do you most need today, this week and this month?DM me on IG  www.instagram.com/careerintechnicolor XOBaibaSupport the show

Happy Friday Gorgeous!Today I wanted to share a 6 minute restorative visualization meditation to create a moment of calm, harmony, and regeneration for you!This is for you if you're feeling a level of  stress, overwhelm, or some tiredness that comes from giving your energy to work and others around you. Sometimes you just need to pause and intentionally restore your own reserves and energy.In this guided meditation, you'll visualize a beautiful, luscious green light pouring over and through your entire being - from the crown of your head down to your feet. This healing light regenerates your mind, releases tension from your body, and strengthens your energy field while bringing back your own beautiful energy.What I love about this practice is that once you experience it, you can access this restorative light anytime - while you're in your car (don't close your eyes while driving;), having your morning coffee, or even during your workday. It's a tool you can carry with you wherever you go.Find a comfortable place to sit or lie down, close your eyes, and let's create some space for renewal together.What helps you restore your energy when you're feeling depleted? I'd love to hear from you - DM me on IG www.instagram.com/careerintechnicolor If this meditation served you, please share it with someone who might need this moment of calm today.Xo, BaibaMeditation starts at 1:40 min. Support the show

My Own Career Change Story and the Messy Middle.Today I want to share more of the behind the scenes, where I am at with my own career and the messy middle of it. In my 20s, I used to think once I have 10+ years of experience in something, then I will have made it. Can you relate? I thought, once I have 10 years of experience in a field on my resume, I will be legitimate, I'll be an expert, I will feel settled, established, and secure. But it's interesting how life doesn't alway work this way! And that it's much closer to being and feeling like an ongoing process of reestablishing and reinvention of yourself vs reaching a finish line of sorts. Perhaps some people feel that way or at least from the outside it might seem like that, but it's probably not the true way they feel on the inside either. Perhaps the ones who are closer to retirement might feel like now they have reached that state of completion, but I bet even they feel like they're still in the process. I think the appearance of having it figured out is a deceptive one, but the idea is still alluring and attractive. Something that as I think about it is most likely a seducing idea or aspiration, and not necessarily reality. It's similar to longing for the moment when you'll be able to put your feet up on the ottoman by your couch and watch a movie or simply do nothing because you've cleaned the house and everything else is done. But those moments rarely arrive and even when they do , they are short! And my mind is constantly telling me that more needs to be done, the next thing needs to be taken care of and tended to, planned, etc. It's like this never ending motor, push and need to do more.  Can you relate?:)So back to the podcast about my own story and the messy middle that I feel like I'm in right now. Right in the smack dab middle of it and that is one of the reasons why I've shied away from sharing too much about it. Because I don't have a perfectly laid out script and I don't know how it all will come together, and that feels vulnerable and uncomfortable. It would be much easier to wait till it's perfectly packaged with a happy ending that I can share.You'll hear about the recruitment career that I started in my twenties and I built over the next 15 years in a seemingly up and up trajectory, and how it came to a halt. You'll hear about the overwhelm, stress, and longings I had along the way, how I started taking steps to explore my interests, personality and strengths further to inform and find my own puzzle pieces so I can take my own advice and the advice of the podcast guests to keep architecting work and life that is energizing to me, that is mine. Not someone else's but mine. And I will say it isn't for the faint of heart and it isn't easy. At least not in my experience. You'll hear about my journey to podcasting, coaching and also how I arrived at learning more about and getting certified to teach Tai Chi. So seemingly unrelated pieces, but they each have their own meaning and bring aspects of tremendous fulfillment as well as development for me. They align with my core values, incorporate my passions and interests, are deeply self motivating and satisfy my own hunger and yearning for more meaning, satisfaction, connection, knowledge, and health. Each of these aspects have come into being in their own magical way, hence I wanted to share the story.Even though I don't know how it'll all come together at the end, I definitely know that I've discovered parts that I'll keep as I continue to build my own career and life in technicolor. I know that I've gone for things I felt curiosity and desire to explore and that I'll keep chasing my own purpose and further answers.How about you? Where are you in your work and career journey, what is weighing on your mind right now that you'd lSupport the show

I want to do some episodes sharing prompts and exercises that can help unlock your purpose and aligned work.Finding your aligned work is totally like putting together a puzzle, it comes together piece by piece, and you might be on one of your last pieces or smack dab in the middle of your own dream job puzzle. No matter where you are today, you never know if it could be this one next exercise that gives you the next level of awareness, clarity, and answers.Today's prompts will help you clarify your most current, up to date values. I bet you're thinking- I already know my values.  I invite you to go through these exercises to get your most up to date answers, especially if you're still searching for your purpose. With these prompts, let's get to your top 5-10 values from various professional situations and beyond, you'll draw from the good  experiences and the bad, people you look up to, and past or even future regrets. At the end, I'll walk you through questions to get clear on your ranking. This will become a key clarifying mechanism when evaluating opportunities and pivots in the future!Share with me what top values came thru for you, which question worked best for you, what new insight or clarity did you gain?

Hi Gorgeous,There's a lot that goes into making a pivot that isn't talked about enough!One of those things is overwhelm, procrastination and delays that can be so normal and at the same time put you behind day after day and the days turn into weeks and then months.There are a lot of new skills, tools, habits that you need to get familiar with, choose from, select, adopt, and integrate and all of it can throw your system into a freeze mode.Today I'm sharing an approach that I am implementing and would love to hear from you!

Somewhere between work, caretaking, and just trying to make it through the week without losing your mind, friendship starts to feel... complicated, or like another to do? Not because we don't want connection — but because life is loud, we're overwhelmed or tired or trying to make it through the day. And do you feel like there's a constant time deficit? This is an episode that is more like a journal entry where I share some of my latest life outtakes and friendship moments, how a soul-nourishing weekend with a long time friend reminded me of what really matters — and how sharing our mess can bring us even closer. Vulnerability can feel scary, awkward, but also wildly freeing. I also open up about navigating anxiety, burnout, and that dreaded “time scarcity” that seems to hit especially hard after 40. And if you're also feeling off physically — low energy or just not yourself — I mention my amazing friend and health coach, Olya Clark, who helped me customize a plan to support my hormones and minerals and lifestyle. Seriously, she's a godsend. Connect with her at www.olyaclark.com You're not alone. Promise. Xo,Baiba

This is an episode for you if you've been laid off or are feeling stuck and want work that feels more aligned and on purpose for you! This is an invitation to rethink and reimagine what other possibilities can exist for you. We all come to a point in our career where we either are forced to or deeply desire to reinvent our career and it takes a lot of courage to ask the questions, look deeper, and dig for new direction options and answers. No story is the same and it's hard when no one can give you an exact ready made answer. The steps you'll hear shared in this episode are designed to get you closer to your unique answers, the key will be devoting a little bit of time and attention to go through them. So let's go, here's a plan broken down into days: Day 1 Design a vision for your future work and career. Just like companies devote the time to craft their future vision and future of work projects, do it for yourself! Day 2 Think about and write down everything you devote your free time to, what topics do you watch YouTube, TikTok or IG videos and posts about, what do you research online, what do you read books about, what do you do in your free time, what do you talk to your friends about, everything counts and nothing is too silly to make the list. Day 3 Write down what your ideal work day/week looks like. Where do you want to work, with who, what hours, who are your clients, wake up to sleep - what are you doing? Day 4 What do you know you no longer care to do? What do you want to rebel against? What do you actually DO want to do? Day 5 Ask 3-5 people who know you well - close friends, people who have been mentors or have worked with you in a meaningful capacity. What do they think are your strengths, what would they come to you for, what do they see as a good work option for you? Sometimes we're just too close to see it clearly ourselves. Listen to the interview with Ryan Kelly https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/career-in-technicolor/id1584835608?i=1000701718377 Day 6 Get clear on your natural strengths, what are the strongest functions of how your mind naturally sees, engages with, and interacts with the world, the day to day events, information and people. What are your strongest filters of how you wake up and see the world? Here's a past episode example of select personality aspect and strength analysis: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/career-in-technicolor/id1584835608?i=1000697628198 I'd love to hear what new insights and AHAs came through after going through these questions?

This is a mini story reflecting on my friend's visit, the choices and priorities that come up, "mess up" our schedule and force us to stay agile and adaptable instead of rigid. This isn't specific advice, just something that forced me to play in the messiness of my own feelings if anxiety, to do's, values and made me see real time how I can be both in the state of my mind running a long to do list and feeling unsettled while connecting to the deeper stillness within. It reminded me of a beautiful saying from a past guest Lunaria Gaia "There's a part of us deep within us that is still and unperturbed by what's happening on the surface".

I have varied between both ends of the spectrum and still adjust it day to day. Come play with me on IG www.instagram.com/careerintechnicolor I'd love to hear from you! Xo, Baiba

Today we're talking to business coach Brenda Rigney and her journey to helping women start their own businesses! You'll hear about balancing work, parenthood, transitioning from 9-5 to building your own biz, following someone else's career recipe and checklist, setting boundaries, being a leader, mother, getting clear on your own vision, values, your goals and responsibilities, feeling good about yourself, getting aligned in all areas of your life , burn out, questioning everything, what it really takes to self actualize, and so much more! Here's a quick snapshot of Brenda's story! “It took me 27 years of developing multi-million-dollar brands and CEOs—and one earth-shaking divorce—to finally go down that road. I had to reset everything—starting with my health, that foreign word “boundaries,” and my vision for my own life—if I wanted to build a business that wasn't just a repeat of the misaligned life I was so desperate to leave behind. Since then, I've coached hundreds of successful women in their 40s, 50s, and older to help them do the same. Because the thing I'm 100% sure about is that the world needs way more successful, innovative, and unstoppable women in business. I now work with midlife women business owners and emerging entrepreneurs to help them bring in $10K+ months doing what they love in one-to-one and group coaching experiences, and in my Aligned AF Community Membership."
