I walked away from a job. I didn’t walk away from my responsibilities. I was still taking my mom to her doctor appointments. And three months later, she needed another surgery. I was still networking, applying to jobs, and in and out of job interviews. I believed that slowing down meant that I wasn’t doing enough.  🎙Episode 17 | Career Identity out now Dear Mango | You Just Don't Break, Do You? A...

Your body notices the pattern before you do. What you allow in one room, you start allowing in others. Once you start removing it from one room, you want to remove it from the others. Caregiving can accelerate that process. Being an only child with that responsibility can change what you once could tolerate. 🎙Episode 16 | It Ends With Me out now Dear Mango | You Just Don't Break, Do You? A podcast...

Writing exercise in two parts. Be intentional about the order, and date it: 1. In your journal, write your top five identities today. (Why a journal? So you can easily go back and reference it.) 2. Then write the five you want to claim five years from now. Write now. Revisit later. Notice if and how your answers change. 🎙️Episode 15 | Who You Are out now  Dear Mango | You Just Don't Break, Do You?...

We often talk about people who don’t have the means to access resources. But what about the people who do? Some people believe they’ll do the internal work on their own. Others lean on family, friends, and faith. In some situations, that's enough. In others, it isn’t.

In this solo episode, I talk about coaching vs. therapy and why the two can work together. We also sit with grief, identity, and the transitions that ask us to get clear about who we are and who we are not.
