| 4/26/26 | Episode 20: Your Ideal Work Life… Now What? | If this series has shifted how you think about work, this final episode offers a grounded way to reflect on what’s changed — and what might come next. We revisit the key themes explored throughout the series, from confidence and decision-making to fulfilment, boundaries, purpose, and reinvention.Rather than offering a prescription or a plan, this episode focuses on permission — to pause, to listen to yourself more carefully, and to make choices that support you over time. If you’re clearer but not certain, steadier but not resolved, this conversation meets you exactly where you are.Links & ResourcesIf you’re listening on the mobile app, you won’t be able to click straight through — so here’s the direct link for all the tea, biscuits, and useful things:The Career Strategist website:https://sites.google.com/view/thecareerstrategist/homeYou’ll find a range of free career resources, support for job applications, work–life balance tools, and programs designed to help you move toward clarity, alignment, and purpose in your work life.I also share practical tools, insights, and real-life reflections every day on social media.

| 4/19/26 | Episode 19: The Art of Career Reinvention at My Age | If you’ve been thinking about change and wondering whether it’s too late, this episode offers a more compassionate way to think about reinvention. We explore why clarity often comes later in life, why changing direction doesn’t erase what you’ve built, and how progress doesn’t always look like forward momentum from the outside.This episode includes my own experience of leaving corporate work, navigating loss of income and status, and choosing alignment, integrity, and sustainability over optics. If reinvention feels risky, uncomfortable, or lonely, this conversation reminds you that you’re not behind — you’re responding to growth.Links & ResourcesIf you’re listening on the mobile app, you won’t be able to click straight through — so here’s the direct link for all the tea, biscuits, and useful things:The Career Strategist website:https://sites.google.com/view/thecareerstrategist/homeYou’ll find a range of free career resources, support for job applications, work–life balance tools, and programs designed to help you move toward clarity, alignment, and purpose in your work life.I also share practical tools, insights, and real-life reflections every day on social media.

| 4/12/26 | Episode 18: Why Purpose Isn't Found, It's Built | If you’ve felt pressure to find your purpose at work and wondered why it hasn’t arrived yet, this episode offers a different perspective. We explore why purpose rarely appears fully formed, how it develops through experience and alignment, and why expecting certainty can create unnecessary anxiety.This episode reframes purpose as something built gradually — through paying attention, making thoughtful choices, and allowing yourself to evolve.

| 4/5/26 | Episode 17: Designing a Career That Feeds, Not Drains You | If your work consistently takes more energy than it returns, this episode explores what sustainability at work really means. We look at how slow, cumulative exhaustion often goes unnoticed, why adaptability can turn into erosion over time, and how paying attention to energy — not just performance — changes the way you think about your career.This episode reframes career design as building work that’s workable and supportive, not endlessly demanding.Links & ResourcesIf you’re listening on the mobile app, you won’t be able to click straight through — so here’s the direct link for all the tea, biscuits, and useful things:The Career Strategist website:https://sites.google.com/view/thecareerstrategist/homeYou’ll find a range of free career resources, support for job applications, work–life balance tools, and programs designed to help you move toward clarity, alignment, and purpose in your work life.I also share practical tools, insights, and real-life reflections every day on social media.

| 3/29/26 | Episode 16: Finding Fulfilment Beyond the Paycheque | If financial stability no longer feels like the full story, this episode explores what fulfilment at work can actually look like. We talk about why many women feel flat or disconnected even when things look “fine” on the surface, and how fulfilment is often about alignment, respect, and sustainability rather than excitement or status.This episode reframes fulfilment as something practical and necessary — not indulgent.Links & ResourcesIf you’re listening on the mobile app, you won’t be able to click straight through — so here’s the direct link for all the tea, biscuits, and useful things:The Career Strategist website:https://sites.google.com/view/thecareerstrategist/homeYou’ll find a range of free career resources, support for job applications, work–life balance tools, and programs designed to help you move toward clarity, alignment, and purpose in your work life.I also share practical tools, insights, and real-life reflections every day on social media.

| 3/22/26 | Episode 15: Creating Clarity in a Chaotic Workplace | If your workplace feels reactive, noisy, or constantly shifting, this episode explores why clarity can feel so hard to access. We look at how confusion is often a reasonable response to unclear systems — not a personal failing — and why expecting yourself to think clearly in chaos can be exhausting.This episode focuses on creating internal anchors and steadiness when external clarity isn’t possible.

| 3/15/26 | Episode 14: When Boundaries Are Your Career’s Secret Weapon | If work keeps expanding into places it shouldn’t, this episode explores what boundaries actually protect. We look at why boundaries often feel uncomfortable for women who care deeply about their work, and how overextension can quietly become expectation.This episode reframes boundaries as a way of staying well and engaged over the long term — not as withdrawal or conflict.

| 3/8/26 | Episode 13: Communicating Your Value Without Feeling Like a Sellout | If advocating for yourself at work feels uncomfortable or inauthentic, this episode explores why. We look at how many women are taught to communicate value in ways that don’t fit — and how that mismatch can quietly undermine confidence over time.This episode reframes self-advocacy as translation rather than selling, offering a more grounded way to speak about your work without exaggeration or performance.Links & ResourcesIf you’re listening on the mobile app, you won’t be able to click straight through — so here’s the direct link for all the tea, biscuits, and useful things:The Career Strategist website:https://sites.google.com/view/thecareerstrategist/homeYou’ll find a range of free career resources, support for job applications, work–life balance tools, and programs designed to help you move toward clarity, alignment, and purpose in your work life.I also share practical tools, insights, and real-life reflections every day on social media.

| 3/1/26 | Episode 12: When to Stay, When to Go - Decision Frameworks for Change | If you’re stuck between staying and leaving and feel pressured to decide, this episode offers a calmer way to approach that question. We explore why this decision feels so heavy, how exhaustion often disguises itself as urgency, and why you don’t need to rush yourself into clarity.This episode introduces decision frameworks that create breathing room — helping you rebuild trust in yourself before making any big moves.

| 2/22/26 | Episode 11: Setting Career Goals That Don’t Give You the Icks | If traditional goal-setting makes you feel resistant, disconnected, or quietly repelled, this episode offers a different way of thinking about goals. We explore why many career goals start to feel heavy or performative over time, and how discomfort around goals is often a sign of misalignment rather than a lack of ambition.This episode looks at how to set goals that feel orienting rather than pressurising — goals that reflect who you are now, not who you were expected to be.

| 2/15/26 | Episode 10 – The Power of Intentional Career Choices | Feeling capable and competent at work, yet quietly dissatisfied, is often a sign that something needs attention — not urgency. In this episode, we explore what it means to move from reacting to work toward making intentional career choices.We look at how clarity builds over time, why small, thoughtful adjustments can change how work feels, and how choosing with intention creates confidence that lasts.Links & ResourcesIf you’re listening on the mobile app, you won’t be able to click straight through — so here’s the direct link for all the tea, biscuits, and useful things:The Career Strategist website:https://sites.google.com/view/thecareerstrategist/homeYou’ll find a range of free career resources, support for job applications, work–life balance tools, and programs designed to help you move toward clarity, alignment, and purpose in your work life.I also share practical tools, insights, and real-life reflections every day on social media.

| 2/8/26 | Episode 9: Stop Job Hopping and Start Career Designing | If you’ve ever wondered whether changing jobs would finally make work feel better, this episode offers a different way of looking at that urge. We explore why job hopping is often less about restlessness and more about searching for something that hasn’t been named yet.This episode introduces the idea of career design — shifting from reactive moves to intentional choices by noticing patterns, understanding what drains or sustains you, and learning from past roles rather than outrunning them.Links & ResourcesIf you’re listening on the mobile app, you won’t be able to click straight through — so here’s the direct link for all the tea, biscuits, and useful things:The Career Strategist website:https://sites.google.com/view/thecareerstrategist/homeYou’ll find a range of free career resources, support for job applications, work–life balance tools, and programs designed to help you move toward clarity, alignment, and purpose in your work life.I also share practical tools, insights, and real-life reflections every day on social media.

| 2/1/26 | Episode 8: How to Audit Your Current Role Against Your Core Values (Without Panicking) | When something starts to feel off at work, it’s tempting to jump straight to the question of whether you should stay or leave. But urgency often arrives before clarity.In this episode, we slow things down and use values as a lens — not to judge your job or force a decision, but to understand where tension and exhaustion may actually be coming from. We explore how misalignment shows up quietly over time, why it often erodes confidence first, and how naming what matters can restore self-trust.Links & ResourcesIf you’re listening on the mobile app, you won’t be able to click straight through — so here’s the direct link for all the tea, biscuits, and useful things:The Career Strategist website:https://sites.google.com/view/thecareerstrategist/homeYou’ll find a range of free career resources, support for job applications, work–life balance tools, and programs designed to help you move toward clarity, alignment, and purpose in your work life.I also share practical tools, insights, and real-life reflections every day on social media.

| 1/25/26 | Episode 7: Creating Your Ideal Work Life | Up to this point, we’ve been talking about quiet but important signals — Sunday dread, fading confidence, and the sense that work is taking more than it’s giving back, even when nothing looks obviously wrong.In this episode, I introduce the lens that sits underneath everything I do: Creating Your Ideal Work Life. Not as a quick fix or a perfect-job promise, but as a way of thinking about work that centres fit, energy, values, and sustainability — in this season of your life.We explore why feeling misaligned at work often erodes self-trust before anything else, and why clarity — not drastic action — is usually what’s needed first.Links & ResourcesIf you’re listening on the mobile app, you won’t be able to click straight through — so here’s the direct link for all the tea, biscuits, and useful things:The Career Strategist website:https://sites.google.com/view/thecareerstrategist/homeYou’ll find a range of free career resources, support for job applications, work–life balance tools, and programs designed to help you move toward clarity, alignment, and purpose in your work life.I also share practical tools, insights, and real-life reflections every day on social media.

| 1/18/26 | Episode 6: How to Identify What Actually Motivates You at Work | When work starts to feel flat or heavy, it’s easy to assume you’ve lost your motivation — or that something about you has changed for the worse.In this episode, we explore why motivation doesn’t usually disappear, but quietly changes shape over time. What once drove you may no longer fit the season of life you’re in now — and that doesn’t mean anything has gone wrong.Links & ResourcesIf you’re listening on the mobile app, you won’t be able to click straight through — so here’s the direct link for all the tea, biscuits, and useful things:The Career Strategist website:https://sites.google.com/view/thecareerstrategist/homeYou’ll find a range of free career resources, support for job applications, work–life balance tools, and programs designed to help you move toward clarity, alignment, and purpose in your work life.I also share practical tools, insights, and real-life reflections every day on social media.

| 1/11/26 | Episode 5: Red Flags in Workplace Culture You're Ignoring | In this episode, we explore the quiet red flags in workplace culture that are easy to overlook but deeply draining over time. Rather than obvious conflict or dramatic toxicity, these patterns often show up as subtle discomfort, chronic self-doubt, constant busyness, unclear expectations, and a lack of psychological safety. When concerns are minimised, exhaustion is normalised, and clarity is missing, people don’t become more resilient — they become more guarded. This episode invites you to recognise recurring patterns without blaming yourself or rushing to big decisions, and offers a reframing that helps rebuild trust in your own perceptions. If work has been feeling heavier than it should, this conversation is about noticing what you’re constantly having to manage, and gently creating space for something more sustainable.Links & ResourcesIf you’re listening on the mobile app, you won’t be able to click straight through — so here’s the direct link for all the tea, biscuits, and useful things:The Career Strategist website:https://sites.google.com/view/thecareerstrategist/homeYou’ll find a range of free career resources, support for job applications, work–life balance tools, and programs designed to help you move toward clarity, alignment, and purpose in your work life.I also share practical tools, insights, and real-life reflections every day on social media.

| 1/4/26 | Episode 4: You’re Not Broken: Why Your Job Might Just Be Wrong for You | When work feels hard for a long time, it’s easy to turn the blame inward.In this episode, Stephanie gently challenges the idea that struggling means you’re failing. She explores the difference between capability and fit, why many women internalise misalignment, and how outgrowing a role is often a sign of growth — not weakness.This episode offers reassurance, reframing, and space to reflect, helping you separate self-blame from clarity as you consider what truly fits who you are now.Links & ResourcesIf you’re listening on the mobile app, you won’t be able to click straight through — so here’s the direct link for all the tea, biscuits, and useful things:The Career Strategist website:https://sites.google.com/view/thecareerstrategist/homeYou’ll find a range of free career resources, support for job applications, work–life balance tools, and programs designed to help you move toward clarity, alignment, and purpose in your work life.I also share practical tools, insights, and real-life reflections every day on social media.

| 12/28/25 |  Episode 3: Why Work–Life Balance Isn’t the Answer (and What Helps Instead) | Work–life balance is often presented as the solution to burnout — but for many women, it only adds more pressure.In this episode, Stephanie explores why balance can feel impossible to maintain, how unrealistic expectations play a bigger role than poor time management, and why alignment is often a more sustainable goal.You’ll be guided through simple reflections to help you notice what feels heavy, what feels supportive, and what your Sunday nights may already be telling you — all without trying to “fix” yourself.Links & ResourcesIf you’re listening on the mobile app, you won’t be able to click straight through — so here’s the direct link for all the tea, biscuits, and useful things:The Career Strategist website:https://sites.google.com/view/thecareerstrategist/homeYou’ll find a range of free career resources, support for job applications, work–life balance tools, and programs designed to help you move toward clarity, alignment, and purpose in your work life.I also share practical tools, insights, and real-life reflections every day on social media.
