14. life rules from paula (happy mother's day!)

We had to do a special episode for Mother’s Day. <3 If you also won the life lottery with a very wise mom, some of these may sound familiar. This is a good mix of life & career advice, since I naturally have to tie any type of lesson back to career things.

13. listen to this before your next job interview (pep talk)

It’s time for a mindset episode tied to job interviews because everyone has been nervous recently. Please remember that nerves don’t mean that you’re “not prepared”, they just mean you’re human and having a normal reaction to the stress of job interviews.

12. for the girlies: habit stacking, time management, & morning/evening routines

Going a lil’ off script today with a fun girlie episode … I’m not sure how it took us 12 episodes to do a routine rundown. A lot of these are very specific and kind of bizarre, but they’ve been saving my sanity recently. We’ll be back to regularly scheduled career advice in the next few episodes!
