Episode 26. Talking Careers - Insights From The First Year Of The Show

“We're not trying to tell people think this way, or think that way. What we're saying is just stop and think, just stop and think … Do you have what you want? Is it working for you? If not, be true to yourself. Reframe, reset what you need to, there is not one definition of success. You may have a definition of success, or a definition of how you should be going about what you want to achieve all these years of your life, then you wake up one day and you say this isn't what I want at all and so you can change it if you want,” Tammy Gooler Loeb shared with me on Episode 26 of the Reframe & Reset Your Career podcast. Episode 26 is slightly different in format as it marks the 1-year anniversary of the show. Tammy, who hosts the "Work from the Inside Out" podcast, kindly agreed to co-host the show. We discuss and celebrate some of the insights and lessons that have been shared by the guests on Reframe & Reset Your Career. I first met Tammy in late 2020 to chat about podcasting and her encouragement gave me the final push to launch my own podcast and a YouTube channel just a few months later, thanks Tammy!
