If you've been stuck in a job that's slowly draining you—and using wine to cope with the Sunday scaries—this episode is your permission slip to start thinking about what's next.
Career coach Michelle Schafer has been through two major career reinventions herself, and she's spent the last decade helping people figure out what they actually want and build a plan to get there. But here's what makes this conversation different: we get into the real stuff. The limiting beliefs that keep you playing small. The shame that makes you hide your job loss from your own family. And the tactical, right-now advice on how to use AI to actually get hired—without getting screened out by the same technology.
This episode is for you if:
-
You're languishing in a job that's draining you but feel too stuck to move
-
You've been numbing the career dissatisfaction with wine and wondering if there's another way
-
You're curious about using AI in your job search but don't know where to start
-
You've been applying to jobs and hearing nothing back
-
You need a kick in the ass to stop overthinking and start taking action
