You're Overqualified Podcast - Career and Leadership Strategies for Women

In episode 108, we’re talking about why setting goals isn’t the problem. It’s how we set them, and what’s missing when motivation fades. If you’ve ever started strong and then lost momentum a few weeks later, this episode breaks down what actually helps goals stick. I walk through a simple, three-part framework I use with clients to move from intention to follow-through. We talk about identity, st...

In episode 107, I’m sharing the unexpected business lessons that shaped my year, lessons I thought I had mastered long ago, only to be humbled, stretched, and reminded that growth is never a one-time event. From delegation and slowing down, to protecting your nervous system and letting ideas stay hobbies, this episode is a reflection on what it looks like to evolve as a leader, a business owner, a...

In episode 106, we’re talking about the part of success no one prepares you for, the pressure, the self-doubt, and the internal lag that can show up even after you’ve landed the role, title, or opportunity you worked so hard for. If you’ve ever achieved something you wanted and still didn’t feel at ease, you’re not alone. This episode breaks down why success doesn’t automatically create confidence...

In episode 105, we’re talking about how a simple time audit helped one of my clients make $2,000 and create 30 hours of freedom in her calendar. If you’ve ever felt stretched across too many projects or unsure where your time is actually going, this episode will show you how a time audit can help you see exactly where your energy, hours, and priorities need to shift. I share how one creative busin...

In episode 104, we’re talking about what it means to lead through uncertainty, and why what feels like failure is often just growth in disguise. When you’re building, leading, or creating something new, there’s no map to follow. The milestones get murky, the metrics stop being clear, and self-doubt creeps in. But that doesn’t mean you’re failing, it means you’re learning how to lead through the un...

In episode 103, we’re talking about how to turn chaos into systems, without slowing down your growth. If your business feels messy, it’s not a sign that you’re failing, it’s a signal that you’re growing. Chaos often shows up right at the edge of expansion, and learning to channel it into systems is what helps you scale sustainably. I share client stories and coaching examples of founders who moved...

In episode 102, we’re talking about what happens when you know exactly what to do, but still can’t seem to take action. You’ve mapped out your strategy, set your goals, and even blocked the time, yet the work that truly moves things forward keeps getting pushed aside. This episode explores the resistance patterns that show up when fear, comfort, or overthinking start running the show and how to mo...

In episode 101, we’re talking about how to lead through growth without getting lost in the day-to-day. When your business or team is expanding, it’s easy to fall into old patterns, doing everything yourself, staying deep in the weeds, and reacting instead of leading. But what worked when you were building from day one won’t sustain your next chapter of growth. I share client stories and coaching i...

In episode 100, we’re talking about how trying new things, no matter how small, teaches you about belief, confidence, and growth. Every time you do something for the first time, your brain rewires itself to see new possibilities. Whether it’s taking a class, reaching out to someone new, or simply doing something that scares you, these firsts build self-trust and make uncertainty feel less intimida...

In episode 99, we’re talking about what happens when you’re the one holding everything together, but no one sees it. Whether you’re the go-to person on your team, the emotional glue in your family, or the one who fixes every problem before it’s noticed, this episode explores how invisible over-functioning can lead to burnout, resentment, and missed opportunities for growth. I share client stories...

In episode 98, we’re talking about the reason you might feel stuck or “confused” about your next move. Most of the time, confusion isn’t about not knowing, it’s about fear. Whether it’s fear of disappointing others, making the wrong choice, or stepping into something uncertain, what we often label as confusion is really a way of avoiding discomfort. In this episode, I share how to identify the dif...

Brooks , founder of Gen Z Times (GZT) , a platform created to amplify and empower Gen Z by helping them navigate career challenges, build meaningful connections, and define success in their own way.

In episode 96, we’re talking about how to make bold career moves without spiraling into overthinking or second-guessing every step. Big decisions, whether it’s pivoting industries, leaving corporate, or starting a business, will always come with fear and uncertainty. That’s why I use a framework with my clients called the ABC Plan , designed to help you name what you really want, prepare for the h...

So many people sit on a side business idea for months or even years because they think they need the perfect plan before taking the first step. If you’ve been circling your idea, asking yourself if you’re “ready,” or stuck in research mode, this episode is your reminder that clarity comes from action, not overthinking. I’m sharing client stories and my own experience of waiting too long to start,...

In episode 94, we’re talking about what happens when career clarity sparks something bigger, a vision for your life. For many of my clients, clarity doesn’t just lead to the next job title or salary increase. It opens the door to freedom, creativity, and the possibility of building a business alongside their career. In this episode, I share how clients are exploring both paths at once, from testin...

In episode 93, we’re talking about how AI can actually support your job search and why it’s a tool, not a strategy. If you’ve been stuck in research mode, endlessly tweaking your resume, or wondering if using AI is “cheating,” this episode will give you a grounded perspective on how to use it effectively. I share how my clients integrate AI into their job search and career pivots, from resumes and...

In episode 92, I’m joined by my client, Jasmine, who shares her journey from feeling stuck at the manager level to stepping into leadership, building confidence in networking, and navigating a major industry transition. Over the last year and a half, Jasmine has transformed how she approaches her career, from advocating for promotions and leading with visibility to embracing new opportunities with...

In episode 91, we’re talking about why overperforming is not a strategy for advancement and what to do instead when you’re working harder than ever but still not being recognized. If you’ve been the go-to person, taking on extra tasks, staying late, and doing more than your share only to feel undervalued or overlooked, this episode is for you. I’m breaking down why overperforming doesn’t guarantee...

In episode 90, we’re talking about how to recognize when your job is quietly draining you and the hidden costs that come with staying in misalignment. If you’ve been brushing off your fatigue, telling yourself it’s just “busy season,” or rationalizing that things will eventually get better, this episode is your reminder to take those signals seriously before burnout takes over. I’m sharing the sub...

In episode 89, we’re talking about what it takes to leave a job you’ve outgrown without burning it all down or making decisions from panic. If you’ve been telling yourself “it’s fine” while feeling disconnected, checked out, or unsure of your next step, this episode will help you move from thinking about change to actually creating it. I’m sharing client stories, common fears that keep people stuc...

In episode 88, we’re talking about what it actually takes to move forward when you’re feeling stuck, especially when you don’t have all the answers yet. If you’ve been circling the same decisions, waiting for clarity to strike, or trying to map out the “perfect” next step, this episode is your reminder that clarity comes after action, not before. I’m walking you through how I coach clients through...

In episode 87, I’m kicking off Season 2 with a deep dive into everything that’s changed—personally, professionally, and emotionally—over the last six months. From ending an engagement, going fully nomadic, and coaching around the world, to shifting how I define success in business and life, this is the most personal episode I’ve ever recorded. In this episode, I cover: What it really looked like t...

In Episode 86, I’m sharing one of the most important lessons I’ve learned in my life and career: clarity and confidence don’t come first—action does. Whether it’s quitting a corporate job, launching a business, traveling the world, or making a major life pivot, I’ve learned (and coached clients through) that the life you want is built step by step, often before you fully believe it’s possible. In...

In episode 85, we’re talking about how to use AI to make resume updates faster, easier, and more effective. If tailoring your resume for every job sounds exhausting, you’re not alone. But here’s the thing—you don’t have to do it manually from scratch every time. AI tools can help refine your resume, pull the right keywords, and format it for ATS systems, all while keeping your voice and experience...

In episode 84, I’m sharing my journey from working traditional corporate jobs to becoming a full-time digital nomad. If you had told me years ago that I’d be running my own business while traveling the world, I would’ve laughed. But here I am—and today, I’m breaking down how I made it happen. We’ll dive into: The turning points that led me to explore remote work. How I transitioned from corporate...
