042: Hidden Career Cost of Believing the Wrong Story (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The stories we believe about ourselves often become the stories that shape our careers. In this episode, Sandra and Annette explore how labels like bossy , selfish , and too much can influence confidence, leadership, workplace relationships, and professional growth. They discuss why feedback should be examined thoughtfully, how reputation can become a burden to manage, and why awareness is the first step toward rewriting the narratives that no longer serve us. Because the story holding you back
054: Passed Over for a Promotion? What Kind of Support Do You Actually Need? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Getting passed over for an internal promotion can send you searching for an answer: Was it the company, the manager, the strategy, the skill gap, or something you still cannot see from inside the situation? Sandra and Annette both know the slow erosion that can happen after hearing no again. Annette stopped telling people when she was applying.

053: When You Need an Outside Perspective at Work (opens the original)

That creates a very real question: how do you represent a decade of building a coaching business while still honoring the thirty years of IT leadership that shaped the work you do now? Annette shifts the question from “How much history should I include?” to “What is relevant to where I am going next?” From there, the conversation gets p
050: Career Pivot: How to Know When It’s Time for a Change (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Most career pivots do not begin with a resignation letter. They begin much earlier, with a question that keeps returning: Is this still the life I want to be living? For Sandra, the answer emerged slowly. She liked her company and the people she worked with, but she was exhausted, disconnected from the creative parts of herself, and increasingly aware that she did not want her children to look back and remember “Mom was a ghost.” Annette sees a similar pattern with women whose work may not have
