If the word "networking" makes you cringe or feels like something you should do but secretly avoid, this conversation is for you. In this special episode, I'm joined by my friend and colleague, Julianna Yao Yorgan, host of The Daring to Succeed Podcast. Together, we're diving into a topic that often feels overwhelming but doesn't have to be—networking.
We're here to flip the script and show you that networking isn't about forced small talk, self-promotion, or working a crowded room. It's about authentic, heart-centered connections that support your personal and professional growth.
You'll hear real-life stories, simple strategies, and practical tips to help you build natural and fulfilling relationships—whether introverted, extroverted or somewhere in between.
So, grab your favorite beverage, take a deep breath, and reimagine networking in a way that feels genuine, empowering, and aligned with your heart.

Welcome back to The Flourish Careers Podcast! Season 7 is here, and we’re kicking things off with a bang—a three-part series designed to help you set the foundation for a vibrant year ahead.
What if your career wasn’t about climbing a ladder but collecting meaningful experiences aligning with your values? That’s the idea we’re exploring in today’s episode—an idea that completely changed my perspective years ago when a mentor asked me a significant question: “What kind of experiences do you want to gain?”

Have you ever started a project that excites you, only to find yourself constantly putting it off? 🙋♀️
That was me last year. I dove into a completely new venture, full of enthusiasm, but every time I set a day to begin, life had other plans. Emails, meetings, and smaller tasks conspired against me, pushing my new project to the back burner.
Weeks passed, and what started as excitement turned into frustration as I watched my deadlines whizz by, untouched. It wasn't until I reached out for help that I realized I'd fallen deep into the procrastination pit. Once I recognized what was happening, I finally broke the cycle—and now that I'm in it, the project is so much fun! (It's still a secret for now, but stay tuned for more soon!)
If that sounds familiar, tune in to tackle procrastination head-on in the final part of the "Letting Go" series.

Have you ever grappled with the decision to accept a job offer that falls short of our salary expectations?
Picture this: you've aced the interviews and are gearing up for the final round, but then comes the bombshell—the company can't budge on the salary, leaving you with a significant gap between what you want and what they offer.
So, what now?
First, unpack the entire compensation package.
Next, assess your lifestyle values.
Then, get honest about your long-term goals. Of course, you must consider your financial implications and what you need to be happy + healthy in this season of your career.
There's no one-size-fits-all solution here, but by carefully weighing these factors, you'll make the right call for your heart-based path.

Today, we're discussing one of the toughest questions many heart-based professionals face at some point: Should I stay or go?
Imagine this: you're at a career crossroads. That inner whisper tells you something needs to change, but you’re worried and not sure what to do next.
Join me as we consider three inquiries to support your decision; remember, there's no one-size-fits-all answer. But by exploring these inquiries, you can uncover the next best step forward.
So, my friends, let's channel the wisdom of The Clash’s famous song: "Should I stay or should I go?" But it's not about the song; it's about finding our rhythm in the symphony of our heart-based careers.

Summer is here 😎 and it's the perfect time to cultivate your network. There are countless ways to meet new people through events, workshops, concerts, picnics, and vacations.

I was recently inspired by community members who leveraged in-person gatherings to elevate their paths, and I'm excited to share their strategies with you!

We're halfway through the year, and it's the perfect time for a mid-year check-in. Instead of skimming through your accomplishments, let's dive into a ritual I call Gratitude for Growth:
Flourish: Reflect on what you've achieved and how far you've come; celebrate your wins, big and small.
Cultivate Connections: Consider the mentors, colleagues, and friends who have supported you. Take a moment to send them a note of appreciation.
Grow: Consider how you've expanded your skills and knowledge. Embrace these opportunities as stepping stones to future success.
Nourish: Reflect on how you've cared for your mind, body, and spirit. Think about how you've found balance and how to keep that momentum going.
These reflections aren't just about the past—they're seeds for future growth. Let them inspire you to pursue your heart-based path with purpose. As we move into the second half of the year, let's carry this spirit of gratitude and reflection with us.🌸

Do you often dread the start of another week, knowing that your job is draining your energy? If so, you're not alone. The good news is that we can change this.
Let's shift our mindset—focus on possibilities, not limitations. Set energizing, HEART-based goals that resonate with your values. Instead of running away from what drains us, let's run toward what excites us.
Don't underestimate the power of shaking up your routine. While stability is comforting, it doesn't always lead to growth. Introducing new habits and rituals can create space for exploration and innovation, leading to a more fulfilling path.
Lastly, let's talk about momentum. In physics, an object in motion gains momentum. Investing just five minutes a day in ourselves can ignite that momentum in our careers. 🌟

Welcome back to another installment of Flourishing Together! Today, I'm thrilled to introduce you to Andie Herbert. Andie and I dive into emotional intelligence (EQ), how to amp up your presence and productivity (hint: it's not about cramming a gazillion tasks into a single day!), and we geek out over outdated workplace norms.
Andie has some absolute gems to share, starting with a heartfelt personal tale about the ups and downs of mastering EQ. She's got a ton of insight into setting boundaries and staying calm in a sea of distractions.
Speaking of boundaries, here's a golden nugget from Andie: How might you give value back to yourself? We discuss the art of saying "No" without the guilt trip, and you can gracefully decline commitments, safeguarding your precious time (and sanity!).
This episode is jam-packed with wisdom and top tips for mastering emotional intelligence, which can lead to a more fulfilling work life and serendipitous opportunities. So, let's embrace these principles and flourish in our careers!

Five years ago, I nervously hit "publish" on my website, marking the start of a remarkable path (with many highs and lows and starts and stops!). Today, I'm thrilled to share how a side gig can evolve into a full-time HEART-based path.♥
Many crave something new but hesitate due to inexperience. I say, give it a shot—start with a side gig. In today’s episode, let's explore the three-part framework to set the foundation for a flourishing side gig: TIME, TAILOR, and TRIAL. Starting a side gig is about managing your time wisely, tailoring your offering to your strengths, and continually refining it through trials.
So, join me in taking tiny steps to move forward, refining your approach, and embracing the learning process. Your passion project might lead to a flourishing career. 🌟

Ready to flourish as an introvert in leadership? 🌟
Join me in this segment of Flourishing Together, where I had an inspiring conversation with Julianna Yau Yorgan, a professional coach dedicated to empowering introverts. Despite the challenges in our noisy world, introverts like Julianna (and me) possess unique strengths, such as forming deep relationships and making thoughtful decisions.
This discussion is jam-packed with actionable insights, from embracing your unique strengths to staying authentic while adapting and honing your communication skills. If you're eager to impact your professional path significantly, don't miss out—tune in now! 🎧
P.S. Listen all the way to the end to catch a hilarious blooper outtake—because, as Murphy's Law would have it, anything that can go wrong will go wrong! 🙃
