  Episode #298

  When Your Dream Career Starts Draining You | Ep 298 with Dr. Nikia Smith

  Sep 23, 202632 minS7

  "You are a superwoman. You're not the superwoman. So, like, yes, you are super, you can expand, you can grow, you can evolve. And that is the best for you. And whatever is the best for you is the best for everyone around you because you'll be the best version of yourself." This week's "At her Career Crossroads" insight comes from Dr. Nikia Smith. Here are 3 reasons why you should listen to this episode: You'll hear what can happen when changing jobs doesn't fix the exhaustion because the real issue may be deeper than where you work. Nikia shares how she reached the point where she knew something had to change—and why that realization led her to look inward. If your professional identity has become a big part of how you see yourself, this conversation will help you think differently about what it means to change direction. You don't have to erase everything you've worked for to make room for another part of who you are. You don't need to have your entire next chapter figured out before you make a change. Sometimes the next best step is simply creating enough space to recover, get curious about what you want, and begin finding yourself again. Dr. Nikia Smith is a board-certified anesthesiologist, wellness coach, retreat facilitator, and founder of She is Fire Forged, a wellness brand that helps high-achieving women of color reclaim their peace, power, and purpose.

  When Taking a Step Back Moves Your Career Forward | Ep 295 with Lindsey Busfield

  Sep 2, 202630 minS7

  "Don't be afraid to start over. Don't be afraid to take a step back and reflect even if that is in terms of professional title, if it's in terms of pay, if you can afford to do that. But don't be afraid to take one step back if it means that you're going to take two steps forward in five years." This week's "At her Career Crossroads" insight comes from Lindsey Busfield. Here are 3 reasons why you should listen to this episode: You're successful, but you know where you are isn't where you want to stay. Lindsey shares what it was like to leave a successful position, start over as a temp, and build a new skill set that eventually led her to work that was a much better fit. You're trying to figure out what your next career move could actually be. You'll hear a practical way to look at what you've loved—and haven't loved—about your work over the past 10–15 years and use those clues to consider what could come next. Taking a step backward in title or salary feels difficult when you've worked hard to get where you are. This conversation offers another way to think about starting over and why a temporary step back could help you move toward work that feels more meaningful and fulfilling.
