0203 So Tell Me When Success Stops Feeling Like Enough

✨ What if feeling stuck in your career isn’t a failure — but a sign you’ve outgrown your old definition of success? 🧭 And what if midlife career change is about realignment, not crisis? In this episode of So Tell Me, I’m joined by Daria Hamulska, Career Reinvention & Life Expansion Coach, to explore why so many professionals — especially millennials — start questioning their careers in their 30s and 40s. We talk about how fulfillment often becomes the missing piece, why the old rules of stability and “one job for life” no longer apply, and how values discovery can guide more aligned career decisions.  We also explore how the job market is changing — and why now is a powerful moment to rethink, upskill, and consciously design what’s next. This one’s for anyone who feels successful — but not fulfilled. 🔗 Connect with Daria (host) 👉 [Daria’s LinkedIn] [https://www.linkedin.com/in/daria-trints/] 🌐 [So Tell Me Podcast website] [https://sotellme.click/] 🔗 Connect with Daria Hamulska 👉 [Daria Hamulska’s LinkedIn] [https://www.linkedin.com/in/dariahamulska/] 🌐 dariahamulska.com [https://www.dariahamulska.com/]

So Tell Me Where Do I Even Start with Financial Planning?

💰 What if financial planning isn’t just for people who “finally have enough money”? 🔍 And what if the biggest mistake we make is actually waiting to feel financially secure before we start? In this episode of So Tell Me, we’re joined by Karim Beltaji — Co-founder and CEO of Finance Mate — to unpack long-term finances in a way that feels human, clear, and surprisingly doable.

So Tell Me Why We Need to Talk About Perimenopause

💫 What if menopause isn’t what we think? 🥦 And how can smart nutrition and simple meal prep help us feel balanced, energized, and in tune with our bodies again? In this episode of So Tell Me, we’re joined by Claudia Canu — certified nutritionist and a menopause coach — to talk about the power of food, hormones, and awareness.

So Tell Me Why Talent Alone Isn’t Enough

✨ Why does “working hard” still not guarantee equal pay or promotion for women? 💫 What if fitting in isn’t the way forward and being “likeable” matters more than we think? 🚫 The myth that acting like a man helps women get ahead (spoiler: it doesn’t). In this episode of So Tell Me, we’re joined by Irina Alexandra — founder of Brightroom, ICF-certified coach, psychologist, and talent development expert — to talk about the real, often invisible rules that shape women’s careers. Irina shares what she’s learned from leading teams, coaching professionals, and navigating the corporate world herself — including why likeability still plays a huge role, how gender expectations shape career paths, and what happens when we stop trying to fit into outdated molds. This one’s for anyone questioning the rules of the game — and wondering what a better one could look like. 🔗 Connect with Daria: 👉 ⁠⁠Daria’s LinkedIn⁠⁠  [https://www.linkedin.com/in/daria-trints/] 🌐 ⁠⁠So Tell Me Podcast website [https://sotellme.click/] 🔗 Connect with Irina: 👉 Irina’s LinkedIn⁠⁠  [https://www.linkedin.com/in/irina-alexandra/] 🌐 Brightroom website [https://www.thebrightroom.de/]
