This week, The Flourish Careers Podcast turns three(!)—and we’re kicking off Season 10 with a celebration and a mindset reset.

So let me ask you: do you ever feel like you’re “starting over” when you change jobs, switch industries, or chase a brand-new dream?

Here’s the truth—one of the biggest myths in career growth is the idea of having to begin from scratch.

In reality, you’re not starting over—you’re expanding.

Key Takeaways From Today’s Episode

  • Every skill, experience, and relationship you’ve built comes with you—like a plant being repotted into a bigger container.
  • It’s natural to outgrow what once fit and move into something more spacious.
  • If you’ve been questioning your next move, consider this your reminder: you’re much further along than you think.

A Look Back + What’s Ahead

Three years ago, I nervously hit record on the very first episode of The Flourish Careers Podcast. I had no idea where it would go—I just knew I wanted to share what I’d learned about navigating careers with more heart.

Fast forward to today:
+ 136 episodes
+ Approximately 68 hours of conversations
+ Listeners in 15+ countries
+ Tens of thousands of downloads

And here’s the thing—I used to believe that launching a podcast meant starting over.

But what I’ve discovered is that you never truly begin at zero. Every skill I’d built in coaching, every conversation I’d had with clients, every lesson I’d learned in my own career journey—all of it came with me into the podcast.

It wasn’t starting over—it was expanding. Expanding into a new format, a new way to connect, a bigger container for the work I was already doing.

That’s exactly what this new season is all about: Flourishing Together.

There’s an amzing guest line up and we’ll dig into:
+ How to discern a company’s culture
+ Creative ways to land interviews
+ Rewriting money stories
+ Leadership skills
…and so much more.

Thank you for being here—whether you’ve been with me since day one or you just found the show. Your support is what makes this community possible, and I can’t wait to celebrate what’s ahead—together.
