In this episode, we dive into how vision boarding can unlock real career clarity—not just big dreams, but practical direction you can actually act on.

Drawing on her journey from corporate banking to global tech, she shares how clarity, intention, and action work together to shape career moves that actually stick.

Send us a textIf you feel stuck in your job search even though you are doing all the right things with your resume and LinkedIn, you are not alone. I see this pattern every day with mid-career professionals who are smart, capable, and experienced but still not getting traction in today's market.In this episode, I flip the script on how most people think about career growth and job search at mid-career. Job titles are not destinations. They are outcomes. When you build real career clarity, your value travels with you from one organization to the next, regardless of the title on the door.I walk you through a practical framework I use with my private clients to move them from scattered job searching to selective, strategic career positioning. We talk about how to define the problems you are best positioned to solve, the conditions where you do your best work, how to SHOW UP from service rather than proving, and how to clearly articulate who you help and what you help them do.You will also hear how this kind of clarity changes everything about interviews and recruiter conversations. When you stop trying to prove yourself and start SHOWing UP to contribute, your confidence increases, your message becomes sharper, and decision makers can see exactly where you fit.We also talk about the role of AI in today's job search. AI can help you optimize keywords, but it cannot replace clarity. Clarity is what carries the interview, builds trust, and helps you stand out in a crowded and noisy market.In this conversation, you will learn how to make recruiters' jobs easier by responding quickly, giving clear yes or no answers, and asking what they need next. These small shifts dramatically increase your credibility and momentum.At mid-career, the most powerful question is no longer “Am I enough?” It is “Where am I most useful?” When you answer that, your job search becomes focused, your energy increases, and your value compounds.If you are ready to reduce noise, save time, and target roles where your impact actually matters, this episode will give you the tools and language to do it.If you want help pinpointing where your value belongs next, visit johnneral.com/resources and get the Mid-Career Clarity Code for $43.

Hi Mamas, Download my free guide: ✨ ChatGPT Prompts Made Simple for Moms ✨ As we close out this year and prepare to step into a new one, today's Monday Mindset is all about reflection, growth, and permission. We're continuing our Becoming Her series, and this week we're focusing on your career… whether that means growing where you are, stepping into leadership, or beginning to question what's next. Today's quote sets the tone for this powerful in-between season: “What got you here won't get you there.”  - Marshall Goldsmith This quote isn't a judgment of where you are… it's an invitation. An invitation to recognize that the habits, beliefs, and patterns that helped you survive one season may not be the same ones that will help you thrive in the next. In this episode, we talk about: ✨ Why feeling called to grow doesn't mean you're ungrateful ✨ How survival habits can quietly keep you stuck ✨ Why awareness… not action… is the most important first step ✨ How to release guilt around wanting more ✨ What it really means to become the next version of you This is a gentle reminder that you're not behind, broken, or starting over—you're evolving. Monday Mindset Challenge This week, take 10 quiet minutes and reflect on this question: What is one habit, belief, or pattern that got me “here”… but might not take me where I want to go next? Maybe it's: • Overcommitting • Avoiding hard conversations • Saying yes out of guilt instead of alignment • Waiting for permission instead of trusting yourself You don't need to fix it this week. You don't even need to change it yet. Just notice it. Because awareness is always the first step toward alignment.

Nothing has impacted Ariel Travis more than the one thing so many of us fear: International travel. Journey back in time and you won't find this professional pediatric medical speech-language pathologist in clean scrubs. The true beginning of her career started in a rugged fashion; she joined the Peace Corps just two weeks fresh out of collage before living and working in Mozambique, Brazil, China, and the Dominican Republic for the next seven years. When she finally returned to the US she realized that her unruly adventures gave her the confidence, flexibility, and compassion to thrive in her day-to-day work environment. In this episode Ariel dispels myths about traveling as a young person, inspires nervous listeners to book their first trip, and teaches how to decrease baseline travel anxieties by planning ahead and tuning into our bodies. As someone who has explored over 29 countries, Ariel gives nuanced advice on how much planning allows for safety AND travel magic during our journeys.

Tired of ADHD strategies that don't work? Here's what actually does. FREE training here: https://programs.tracyotsuka.com/signup_____What happens when doing everything "right" still leaves you miserable? You start asking better questions.Shell Mendelson was a successful CEO of KidzArt, an international children's art franchise she founded, when everything fell apart. Despite looking accomplished on paper, she was disconnected, dysregulated, and drowning in work that no longer fit. At her lowest point, she found an ADHD book a therapist friend had sent years earlier, opened it, and finally understood why she'd always felt like an outcast. Diagnosed in her fifties, Shell realized the masking, hypervigilance, and constant feeling of being "off" had been ADHD all along.Now, after 35+ years as a career coach, Shell helps ADHD and neurodivergent adults stop job-hopping and start building careers that actually fit. She's the author of Unlock Your Career Path and creator of the Career Galaxy framework—a process that helps people define their must-haves in writing so they never forget what they need to thrive. In this conversation, Shell and Tracy explore why career assessments fail neurodivergent people, how DEI rollbacks are pushing ADHD professionals into hiding, the rise of workplace surveillance, and why people who need accommodations are often just in the wrong job.Shell also shares her recent move to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, where she's building a life by the beach with her two dogs—a story about reinvention, clarity, and refusing to stay somewhere that doesn't serve you, even when it looks successful from the outside.Resources: Website: www.careercoachingwithshell.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/CareerCoachingwithShellLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/yourpassiontocareerWebsite: https://unlockyourcareerpath.comSend a Message: Your Name | Email | Message Instead of Struggling to figure out what to do next? ADHD isn't a productivity problem. It's an identity problem. That's why most strategies don't stick—they weren't designed for how your brain actually works. Your ADHD Brain is A-OK Academy is different. It's a patented, science-backed coaching program that helps you stop fighting your brain and start building a life that fits.

Sometimes the first step toward career clarity isn't about having the whole plan — it's about taking one aligned action.That in-between space, where you've outgrown what was but don't yet know exactly what's next, can feel messy and overwhelming. But it's also where clarity is born.In this intimate episode of The Feminine Frequency, Amy holds a powerful coaching session with Stephanie — a long-time massage therapist, devoted mother, and soulful woman in transition.Stephanie opens up about the inner and outer shifts she's navigating as she explores evolving her career beyond hands-on bodywork. With her children now older and more space opening up in her life, she's feeling the call to expand — into coaching, teaching, and a more flexible, purpose-driven business model that honors both her gifts and her desire for freedom.But like many women on the edge of expansion, Stephanie finds herself stuck in the space between vision and action — wrestling with self-doubt, overwhelm, and the fear of not knowing where or how to begin.Themes: Overcoming perfectionism, fear, and procrastinationBalancing motherhood with a personal vision and purposeFacing tech overwhelm and finding clarity in online business buildingRewriting the narrative around success and self-worthEmbracing imperfect action and messy beginningsLearning to trust yourself deeply, even when you don't feel readySPECIAL OFFERS

But after injury setbacks and getting released, life after sport hit hard. No plan. No clear identity. Just odd jobs, quiet doubts, and the feeling that everyone else had it figured out.But somewhere in the chaos, something powerful emerged.Theo found purpose not in a straight path, but in the stumble.

Feeling stuck in decision fatigue? Take the quiz at www.bebrightlisa.com/quiz Ever said yes to a freelance project, a job, or a client and felt that pit in your stomach right after? In this episode, visionary business coach and personal branding expert Lisa Guillot dives deep into the difference between a “yes” that lights you up and one that quietly depletes you. She shares the exact tool she uses with her coaching clients (and herself) to make aligned decisions in life, leadership, and brand building, especially in those pivotal moments of reinvention.  

This refreshed replay brings back a conversation that still resonates deeply: the real value of college education in today’s changing world. A Wall Street Journal article caught my attention—exploring why Americans are losing faith in higher education—and it sparked fresh reflections. With the rising costs of post-high school education and the shifting job market, it’s more important than ever to approach these decisions with wisdom, clarity, and intentionality. In this replay, I’m sharing my interview with my dear friend Lisa Marker-Robbins, whose passion for guiding families, teens, and young adults through the college and career journey is unmatched. Over 25 years and more than 4,000 students later, Lisa’s experience offers an invaluable perspective for navigating post-high school decisions in a way that aligns both with practical realities and God-given giftedness. In this episode, John discusses: Shifting confidence in college education How to navigate post-high school education choices wisely The power of early career clarity Practical ways parents can support their teen’s journey Key Takeaways: Confidence in higher education is shifting due to factors like rising student debt and changing perceptions of value—making it essential to weigh educational paths carefully and prayerfully. Intentional conversations and exploring a wide spectrum of options (from four-year universities to trades and internships) can open the door to fulfilling, well-matched careers. Early career exploration—ideally beginning by mid-sophomore year—can have a profound impact on a student’s college and career path. Parents play a critical role in fostering open dialogue, challenging assumptions, and equipping teens to make informed, confident choices. “There are a lot of benefits to going to college. It shows that you can do hard things; you build your adulting skills while living in a dorm or apartment. But the end goal is a career where your kid will flourish.”  — Lisa Marker-Robbins ADDITIONAL RESOURCES: WALL STREET JOURNAL ARTICLE - "Why Americans Have Lost Faith in the Value of College:" https://www.wsj.com/us-news/education/why-americans-have-lost-faith-in-the-value-of-college-b6b635f2?st=enissi47waduz79&reflink=article_imessage_share LISA'S COMPLIMENTARY ON-DEMAND VIDEO: How to guide your teen to choose the right major, college, & career...(...without painting themselves into a corner, missing crucial deadlines, or risking choices you both regret): https://courses.flourishcoachingco.com/howtoguideyourteen-free-training   CONNECT WITH LISA: Website: http://www.flourishcoachingco.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lisa-marker-robbins/ & https://www.linkedin.com/company/flourish-coaching-co/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/flourishcoachingco Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/flourishcoachingco/ College & Career Clarity podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/college-and-career-clarity/id1605221043?i=1000547915852 & https://open.spotify.com/show/4AXJMim6LPwmgnoS2WbyBQ?si=yF5QrGFGQ5-yc1a1ey-_kQ CLICK ON THE LINKS BELOW FOR MORE MONEY MADE FAITHFUL!

In this episode, Lisa and Jack discuss:How authenticity influences a student's journey through high school and college admissionsMaking intentional academic and extracurricular choices instead of chasing prestigePersonal growth through adversity and how it can translate into advocacy and leadershipUsing entrepreneurship to solve real-world problems in the college admissions processKey Takeaways: Crafting a college application around a meaningful personal narrative—especially one rooted in overcoming adversity—can create a clear and compelling through-line that ties together academics, extracurriculars, and long-term interests.Prioritizing activities that genuinely excite you, rather than selecting them to impress others, leads to more fulfilling experiences and naturally stronger, more authentic application materials.Letting go of lower-impact commitments, even those you once valued, can open up time and energy to go deeper into areas where your skills, passions, and long-term potential align most powerfully.Seeking out immersive experiences, such as internships or independent projects, helps translate personal interests into tangible accomplishments while also shaping a clearer vision for future academic and career decisions. “If you love what you're doing, you won't get tired. If you love what you're doing, you're going to be excited to wake up every day the next morning.” – Jack GoldsteinAbout Jack Goldstein: Jack Goldstein is from Portland, Oregon, and is heading to the University of Pennsylvania in the fall to commence his pursuits down the pre-law track. He is also the co-founder of Quadzio, a startup that will change the way the college tour process takes place. Passionate about advocacy and student empowerment, Jack aims to bridge gaps in access and authenticity within higher education.
