I manifested a job offer 8 weeks after getting laid off, and in this episode, I tell you how. From getting crystal clear on what I wanted from my next role, to over-preparing and over delivering in the job interview, to protecting my energy and focus, these are the exact steps that I used to land a fully remote, aligned job offer that was exactly what I was looking for as the next step in my career! I share both the strategy and the mindset that helped me implement these steps. I don't hold anything back, including the emotional toll that being laid off had on that made it hard to do things like getting myself up off the couch to wash my hair, put on a little makeup, and talk myself into networking events. I also share the one bit of tough love that snapped me out of my pity party and helped me step back into my power. Whether you're currently navigating a layoff or simply want to fast-track your job search, you don't want to miss this episode. Referenced Episodes: 109.

Artificial Intelligence is one of the biggest conversations happening in the creative world right now, and in this episode of The Craft to Career Podcast, I sat down with Theresa Benson of The AI Quilter to talk about it all. Theresa gives a thoughtful look into the use of Artificial Intelligence as a quilter, artist, and business owner. We talk about the hot topics so many creatives are wondering about, like whether AI steals art, how it impacts the environment, what we can do about it, and how to think through using AI in an ethical and intentional way. And spoiler alert: this conversation is not as one-sided as you might think. If AI feels exciting, confusing, inspiring, or even a little unsettling, this episode will give you a lot to think about. Theresa brings nuance, wisdom, and a balanced perspective to a topic that affects artists and business owners more and more each day. In This Episode, We Talk About: How Theresa uses AI as a quilter, artist, and business owner The concerns creatives have about AI and art theft Ethical questions around using AI in creative work The environmental impact of AI and why it matters What creatives can do to use AI more thoughtfully How to think about AI without fear, panic, or blind acceptance Why this conversation is more layered and nuanced than many people realize Listen to This Episode If You: Feel curious or cautious about Artificial Intelligence Wonder whether AI steals from artists Want to think more deeply about AI and ethics Are trying to decide whether AI has a place in your creative business Want a balanced conversation about technology, creativity, and responsibility Resources Mentioned in This Episode Water Runs Through Everything We Build https://theaiquilter.com/water-runs-through-everything-we-build The Conscious Creative's Guide: AI Tools That Won't Steal Your Soul https://theaiquilter.com/the-conscious-creatives-guide-ai-tools-that-wont-steal-your-soul Thirsty Intelligence Whitepaper https://bit.ly/CostOfAI Ethics & Values Articles from The AI Quilter https://theaiquilter.com/category/ethics-and-values Digital Muse Landing Page https://theaiquilter.com/digital-muse-for-quilters-and-creatives-f25 Digital Muse Product Page https://theaiquilter.com/product/digital-muse-bringing-ai-into-your-creative-process Digital Muse on Amazon https://amzn.to/4rVICfU About Theresa Benson https://theaiquilter.com/about About Theresa Benson Theresa Benson, also known as The AI Quilter, helps quilters, artists, and creative business owners think more carefully and creatively about technology.

Welcome to a special solo episode of The Career Flipper Podcast! It's the podcastaversary!One year ago, I hit publish on the very first episode of this show, having no idea what I was doing and definitely not realizing how much it would change my life. What started in the messy aftermath of a 2022 layoff (and 400+ job rejections) became a permission slip to rebuild, to reimagine success, and to start over without a map.In this episode, I share the behind-the-scenes of how this podcast came to be, how flipping furniture helped me flip my identity, and how conversations with guests like:Nick Musica, a former SEO guy turned animal psychicTrish Jasinski, who bought a chateau in the south of France and left corporate to open a retreat spaceCat Cheng, a former music teacher turned Netflix-featured baker (hi, tres leches dreams)And Case Sandberg, who I met at a farmer's market and learned had just left his software engineering job to become a chocolate maker…helped me feel less alone and more alive.Oh and I'm sharing a piece of my music. I wrote a song called Just Wait, about getting laid off, getting lost, and learning how to come back to yourself.Skip to 14:28 if you want to jump straight to the song.Whether you're in the middle of your own career flip, cocoon season, or identity unraveling, I hope this episode reminds you that you don't need permission from anyone else to change your life.You can give it to yourself.

Hey Ripplers! Steve Harper here, and I've got an episode for you today that I guarantee will leave a mark. This conversation isn't just another podcast about career tips. It's personal. I'm joined by Madeleine York, someone I've known for over 30 years and someone who unknowingly shaped the way I think about business, relationships, and customer service. What started as a simple printer sale back in the day turned into a lifelong friendship with one of the sharpest minds in career coaching and interview preparation. Madeleine York has worked in the Career Transition industry for over 25 years. She has a unique ability to connect with all clients, enabling them to achieve success in reaching their goals. She is not a process consultant, but rather someone who addresses the totality of the individual's needs, creating a one-on-one relationship. Madeleine is an accredited practitioner for Insights Discovery and has used MBTI, Edwards, and 16PF assessments in her work. She has co-authored a book on transition with Norman York, titled “Using Your Inner Power to Find Meaningful Work.” She has developed numerous workshops devoted to team development and goal setting. Madeleine is a graduate of the University of Texas-Arlington. Madeleine shares how she went from being laid off to becoming a sought-after expert in career development, helping professionals at all levels take control of their paths. We talk about what truly goes into preparing for an interview, how to rebuild your confidence after a job loss, and why simply being honest and authentic can be your biggest advantage. Madeleine has a powerful way of helping people understand how to talk about their experience and avoid the traps that sink so many interviews, such as rambling, oversharing, or trying to sound too perfect. This conversation is packed with wisdom and practical takeaways, making it perfect for individuals currently in a job search or planning a career pivot. Madeleine's no-nonsense approach is grounded in decades of experience, and her ability to help people prepare for interviews is unparalleled. If you've ever struggled to answer “Tell me about yourself,” or you want to feel more confident walking into your next opportunity, stay and listen until the end! I hope you'll take the time to listen, reflect, and maybe even reach out to Madeleine. She's not only one of the most talented professionals I know, but she's also one of the kindest.

Sometimes a joke turns into a new life.Trish Jasinski had built a fulfilling, decades-long career in corporate marketing—and she really loved it. But during the pandemic, while working remotely from a very tiny Paris apartment, she started joking with friends that châteaux in the countryside were cheaper than her shoebox of a flat.Just for fun—and with zero plans to actually buy—she went château shopping.And then it happened. She stepped into Château de Gère, a 14th-century stone fortress tucked into the Vallée d'Ossau, and something inside her said, “This is it.”So she did the unthinkable: she bought it. With no plan. Just heart.Now, Trish lives in a quiet French village where sheep outnumber people, and she's turned the château into a beautiful retreat and event space. She's taken everything she learned from her corporate years and poured it into this new life—this wild, magical, entirely unexpected next chapter.In this episode, we talk about:Following a totally unserious whim that changed everythingWhy “no plan” doesn't mean “no purpose”Using your past experience in completely new waysListening to your intuition (even when it makes zero sense)Creating a life that's slower, sweeter, and more youConnect with TrishBook a stay at Château de Gère: https://chateaudegere.com/Follow on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/chateaudegere/ Thanks for listening to The Career Flipper!If you enjoyed this episode, let's spread the word!

In this episode of "Cocoon Conversations," host Jenny Dempsey gets real about the emotional rollercoaster of juggling her career and furniture-flipping side hustle. She spills on burnout, imposter syndrome, and the chaos of pricing her art (“Am I worth it?!”). Jenny shares her messy, vulnerable moments—singing to her furniture, doubting herself, and still showing up. She reminds us that spirals aren't failures, but part of the process, and that confidence is more like a flickering patio light than a spotlight. It's raw, relatable, and a little unhinged—in the best way. Thanks for listening to The Career Flipper!If you enjoyed this episode, let's spread the word!
