In this episode of "Cocoon Conversations" on the Career Flipper podcast, I, Jenny Dempsey, take you along on my career journey. This year, I've committed to opening up about my own career flip, just as I encourage my guests to do. So here we are, in May 2025, and I can hardly believe it's been four months since I started my current day job. It feels surreal to say that, especially considering I was laid off for two years before this.During this time, I've been balancing my full-time job with furniture restoration on the side, dedicating Sundays to it, and squeezing in podcasting and all the related tasks whenever I can. If that sounds overwhelming, it is! Life can be a juggling act, and I know I'm not alone in feeling this way. Scheduling time with friends often feels like a game of Tetris, as we all navigate our busy lives.I've always been the type of person who thrives on variety. I'm the one multitasking—doing laundry while putting away dishes, preparing to record a podcast, creating social media content for my furniture flipping page, and making sure my dog, Dwight, gets outside for a potty break. My brain has always thrived on this mix of activities, and I've been like this for as long as I can remember.Looking back, I've come to realize something significant. For a long time, I believed that work—capital W work—was my identity. I thought it was the only thing I was good at. I didn't believe in taking vacations; if I did, I'd bring my laptop along and continue working. I even had a panic attack in front of a customer service team I was managing because I was so consumed by my job. I poured everything into my work, only to learn the hard way that companies would replace me in an instant. When I was laid off and struggled to find a new job for two years, I was left questioning my identity. Who was I if I wasn't working?I dive into this and more in the episode!

Courtney Claghorn is the co-founder of SUGARED + BRONZED, the nation's largest sugaring and sunless tanning destination. Claghorn's journey began in 2010, out of her Santa Monica apartment, while juggling a full-time job in the fintech industry. After becoming dissatisfied with the high prices and underwhelming experiences of local spray tanning, she saw a gap in the market, and with just $1000 and encouragement from her then-boyfriend (now-husband and co-founder), she started offering her own services. Over the past 15 years, SUGARED + BRONZED has grown exponentially, now boasting over 35 locations nationwide—with 10 more in the pipeline—as well as a thriving e-commerce business.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The smallest move in your career could change everything. That's the power of the butterfly effect—and it's already at work whether you realize it or not. In this episode of Secrets of the Career Game, Kendall Berg unpacks how one tiny shift (a certification, a networking event, even a pause after a layoff) can ripple into massive career transformation. Drawing from real client stories and her own experience, Kendall challenges the panic-pivot and demotion route so many professionals take when facing burnout or job loss. Instead, she outlines the career strategy that actually works in 2025—and it has nothing to do with getting another degree or sending 50 applications a day. This is your sign to stop waiting for permission and start building momentum. The butterfly effect is already happening—make sure it's working in your favor. In this episode, we discuss: Why doesn't stepping down the corporate ladder fix burnout? How do you pivot careers after a layoff or toxic job? What's the real ROI of an MBA in today's market?

Your Career Podcast with Jane Jackson | Create Your Dream Career
Love Your Career Podcast? Let us know!Picture this: A poster of me, at the age of 16, modelling sunglasses in Hong Kong, looking glamorous with them perched stylishly on top of my head. Not protecting my eyes, just making a fashion statement. [Click this link to view my 1975 poster]Fast forward 50 years to last Wednesday, and I'm recovering from painful pterygium surgery with my bandaged eye, staring at that very poster on my wall. The irony? I spent decades with the solution literally on my head, just a few inches too high to do any good.What has this to do with Career Success? Listen to this compelling episode which will make you reflect on the choices we make early on in our lives and careers, and the consequences of bad choices (or avoiding what we must do for future success).Key takeaways from episode 274 of Your Career Podcast:1. Prevention is Always Better than the CureThe most striking lesson is how much easier, and less painful, it is to protect yourself proactively rather than fix problems later. My 1975 sunglasses story perfectly illustrates this: a simple daily habit of wearing eye protection could have prevented surgery, seven weeks of recovery, multiple medications, and significant pain. This applies to every area of life: career, health, relationships. 2. Physical Health and Career Success Are InseparableYou can't compartmentalise your wellbeing. When you're running on empty physically, you can't show up fully in your career. Job searching requires stamina, resilience, and clarity of mind. Career transitions demand energy for networking, interviewing, and decision-making. If you haven't been taking care of your foundation, sleep, nutrition, exercise, boundaries, you're essentially trying to climb Mount Everest with a broken ankle.3. Self-Care Is Strategic, Not SelfishThe biggest mindset shift is viewing self-care as protection rather than decoration. Just like networking shouldn't be something you only do when you need a job, taking care of yourself shouldn't be something you postpone until "things calm down." Your future self is counting on the choices you make today, and time moves faster than we think. What feels like a distant future becomes today in the blink of an eye - sometimes literally.Listen to my personal story which we all can relate to, especially those considering a career change when unprepared. What will YOU do to ensure you don't leave your metaphorical sunglasses on top of your head instead of what they were designed to do?- - - - - - - - - - >>> For career clarity and confidence, download Jane's career resources at janejacksoncoach.com Support the showFind out what you MUST DO to make a successful career change and land the job you'll LOVE.

Angela Vranich is the co-founder and chief product officer of the baby-and-kids food brand Little Spoon. Angela jump-started her career while still in college by founding a nationwide organic food marketing company. After graduation, she got a job in television, producing culinary competition reality shows out of Philadelphia. But she quickly realized it wasn't for her. After a cross-country move to be with her then-boyfriend (now husband and co-founder), who ran an organic foods distribution company, she began to think about what food categories on the market were due for a shake-up. She realized that the baby-food space had been dominated by the same single player for nearly 90 years—and set out to change that. The result is Little Spoon, launched in 2017, which offers fresh-cooked baby food made with organic ingredients. Little Spoon sold a million meals in its first year, and in the years since, it has expanded to include all types of meals for children up to 10 years old. Today, they're the #1 online destination for kids' food and have delivered more than 35 million meals to families nationwide.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Recharting Your Life With Hope -Get Unstuck and Discover Direction, Purpose, and Joy for Your Life
In this episode, I sit down with Shay Domangue, PA-C, whose career path took a bold and inspiring turn — from hospitalist PA/ internal medicine to building her own social media business in elder care to transitioning to marketing development in the pharmaceutical device industry. She's now the Gulf Coast Field Market Development Specialist in the Renal Denervation business unit for Medtronic and is also raising two little humans (with her husband's help).Shay shares what it was like to reach a breaking point in clinical medicine and how listening to that inner voice led her to explore something new. She didn't just walk away — she walked toward a more aligned, values-based life and career.We talk about the early days of entrepreneurship, the emotional and logistical challenges of building something from scratch, and the surprising role that networking played in her transition into the pharmaceutical industry.Shay opens up about redefining success, protecting her energy, and how work-life balance has become a non-negotiable in her new chapter. She also drops some hard-earned wisdom for clinicians who are feeling stuck or wondering what else is out there — especially if you've ever thought, “I can't do this for 20 more years.”This conversation is for you if you're craving purpose, dreaming of flexibility, or just want to hear from someone who's made a major pivot and lived to tell the tale.CONNECT WITH SHAY:Linkedin.com/in/shaydomangueShay's polypharmacy info on TikTok: @elder.care.hubHOPE'S BOOK:Healing Clinician Burnout, How to Revive Your Life and Career (available in ebook and paperback)CONNECT AND SIGN UP FOR COACHING:Hope's Website: www.coachhopecook.comHope's IG @coachhopecookHope's FB @hopeallencookHope's LinkedIn: hope-cook-56041283/Hope's YouTube @coachhopecookEmail: hope.cook@gmail.comLove y'all, and remember: There's always hope!

Rosie Johnston is the founder of the clean fragrance line By Rosie Jane. Johnston originally trained as a makeup artist and began working in London, then moved to Los Angeles, where she continued to build her skills and clientele. In 2003, she founded Rosie Jane Cosmetics, which offered an ahead-of-its-time multipurpose lip and cheek pot. While the venture didn't last, she realized she had a love and knack for making her own products. She then created her signature scent, wearing it to shoots, hoping that it would make her memorable to clients and help her to book more jobs. But when clients and friends began asking to purchase the scent, something clicked. She began producing larger quantities, and soon after, By Rosie Jane was born. Since launching in 2010, By Rosie Jane has expanded from one scent to seven. It's also formulated perfumes, perfume oils, and a suite of bodycare products. The brand is consistently one of Sephora's top-selling fragrance brands, and last year reached $10 million in revenue, making it one of the most recognizable clean fragrance brands on the market today.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Ariana Ferwerda and Kiley McKinnon are the co-founders of the women's ski and activewear brand Halfdays. McKinnon is a former freestyle aerial skier who competed at the 2018 Pyeongchang Olympics, and Ariana holds degrees in marketing and marketing research from Michigan State University. Despite their different professional backgrounds, when the two met in Denver in 2019, they commiserated over the lack of stylish, mid-range ski apparel options for women. They felt they could do better, and less than a year later, they launched Halfdays, a line of sleek women's skiwear made from nearly 100% recycled materials. Though it was originally a direct-to-consumer company, today, its products are sold in retailers like Nordstrom and Dick's Sporting Goods. The brand has also expanded into hiking gear, athleisure, and more. Last year, it saw 86% year-on-year growth and triple-digit wholesale growth.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
Scott Anthony Barlow: Happen to Your Career Scott Anthony Barlow is CEO of Happen To Your Career and host of the Happen to Your Career podcast. His team and him are focused on helping people find the work they love. He's also the author of the book, Happen to Your Career: An Unconventional Approach to Career Change and Meaningful Work*. You've been laid off, or someone close to you is navigating that reality right now. A lot of the first things we think to do after a layoff are wrong. In this episode, Scott and I explore what to avoid…and more importantly, where to begin anew. Key Points Most people underestimate the time it takes to mean a transition to the next, right position. Submitting tons of applications, networking everywhere, and telling everyone that you're looking feels productive, but is often either incomplete or a waste of time. Give yourself the space to grieve. Spend time with the people who care about you. This didn't happen to you, it happened for you. Whether objectively true or not, this mindset will help you be intentional about next actions. Hyperfocus your targeting by creating a master resume and also considering backdoors to opportunities.
