29. Why your “messy” career is actually your biggest strength - and how to own it

What if I told you that the very things you feel awkward or ashamed about in your career could actually be your biggest strengths? What if the aspects you worry will stop people from hiring you, investing in you, or buying from you are the very things that will attract them to you?

In today’s episode, I’ll help you shift your perspective on career “messiness” and show you how to turn it into an advantage.

I’ll share my daily struggle with real-life mess in my home—and how seeing it differently has revealed so many beautiful things about my family life. You can do the same with your career! I’ll walk you through a simple, practical exercise to uncover the potential behind the things you’ve perceived as imperfections or embarrassments in your worklife.

Corporate life teaches us to value unnatural things like linearity and consistency. There’s no room for anything except the relentless climb up the career ladder—a constant push for efficiency, productivity, growth, and profit. But you, my dear listener, are so much more than that.

Let me share a vision of work that supports your life instead of draining it. Whether you’ve taken time to raise children, stepped away from a career path that didn’t serve you, or simply want to create space for exploration and adventure in your work, today’s episode will help you embrace your choices—and turn them into strengths.
