I'm sending you ~all~ the good vibes for October! There’s so much good momentum right now, and I hope you’re feeling it too....

Not just “how to prep”, but also how to handle the most stressful scenarios live and how to follow up in a way that’s effective, but not “too pushy.” If you’ve ever DM’ed me a question on social, I can almost guarantee it’s covered in here.

One of the ~juiciest~ episodes that I’ve been sitting on for so long. If you’re going through a breakup, or still caught up on something, I hope this episode helps you find the silver lining. <3 I’m such a believer in the alchemizing power of a breakup, so naturally I wanted this in the early group of podcast episodes. We’ll be back with a more traditional “interview prep”  episode next week. ...

We’re back with a monthly AMA. Since the show notes are stacked, I’ll keep this short and sweet.

This episode is for you if you are actively job searching or if you’re preparing to job search as we look to the fall.

This episode is for anyone that has been in waiting, scheming, or preparing mode. I went to a conference with thousands of other women, and the one message from every single speaker was to act more and act faster.  The win is taking that first step, not knowing where it is all leading. I hope you feel ~excited~ to make some moves after listening.  Show Notes: Conference Website: https://womenandwe...

This part of the job search is the absolute WORST. You’re applying to jobs, doing all the “right things”, and still haven’t gotten that first interview. I promise it’s not hopeless and the tide DOES eventually turn, but in the meantime it’s a little painful. This episode is half pep talk and half to simply keep our sanity in this process. I'm sending you all the good vibes! Show Notes: Join The Ch...

To say this episode is overdue is an understatement . I’m often the first coach people have worked with, and since the space is continuing to booooom, let’s talk about my favorite ways to “suss” someone out. Naturally I’m pretty biased, but I try my best to stay as objective as possible here especially as someone who has worked with a coach as a client.  Show Notes Question List Tell me about some...

Let’s catch-up! In this episode, I go deep on goals I set at the beginning of the year and share where my head is at heading into the second half of 2026.

We’ll be back to more tactical episodes next week!  Show Notes Posture Exercises: https://www.instagram.com/helenleland/   Nail Rec: Tama...

I’m sick and tired of overly humble, incredibly accomplished women not giving themselves the full credit they deserve .<3 In this episode, I share my favorite frameworks for 1) getting clear on what makes you special and 2) how to articulate that value whether it be on the job search or simply in your day-to-day job. I promise you bring a unique value, regardless of your age, industry, and back...

This episode is for you if you’re 1) struggling to figure out what’s next in your career, 2) actively on the job search, or 3) having performance review conversations this summer.

We’re halfway through 2026 and the job search struggles are real. While I do my best to bring only “the good vibes”, I want to have a more honest conversation about the harder themes I’ve seen recently across my clients.

The classic struggle of trying to show you’re “prepared” in job interviews without coming off too “scripted” or “robotic." In the AI-heavy age of 2026, this is arguably the most important skill to master.

This is our second AMA episode and we’re going to do them (at least) monthly moving forward. I did a combo of career and personal again for this one, but let me know if you’d prefer more “themed” AMAs in the future.

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. Let me know if we’re into these types of episodes and I’ll do more in the future!  Show Notes:  TikTok Playlist (Life Rules): https://ww...

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.

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!
