Client Interviews: Stories from Women Who’ve Made Their Next Move

Over the past few years, I’ve coached hundreds of women navigating career pivots, leadership growth, and new opportunities.

Each story you’ll read here is different, but they all started in a similar place: wanting more clarity, confidence, and direction.

If you’re exploring coaching, these stories will give you a glimpse of what’s possible when you have structure, support, and a plan that actually fits you.

Episode 81 | Client Interview: How Ann Changed Her Job Search and Landed a New Job

In Episode 81, I’m sitting down with my client Ann to talk about her career transition and what itreally took to land a job that aligned with her values and goals.

When Ann first came to coaching, she was frustrated. She had been applying to jobs, refining her applications, and doing all the “right” things—but wasn’t seeing the results she expected. Through coaching, she realized that the job search isn’t just about submitting applications; it’s about strategy, relationships, and positioning yourself in a way that makes hiring managers take notice.

In episode 118, we're talking about how to build executive presence without losing yourself in the process. You have probably heard the feedback — your executive presence is a little lacking. And you are left wondering: does that mean be more confident? Command a room? Become someone entirely different? It does not. Your leadership is not the problem. The feedback just did not come with enough information to act on. In this conversation, I break down what executive presence feedback actually means, how to decode it into something specific and actionable, and how to decide what is worth building versus what you get to keep exactly as you are.
In episode 117, I want to start with something I need you to hear before we go any further. You are overqualified. Not someday. Not once everything is lined up perfectly. Right now, exactly as you are — with the experience you have, the life you have lived, and everything you have been carrying — you are already the person for this. This episode is a celebration of that. And it is a practical guide to collecting the evidence that finally matches what you have always known deep down.
In episode 116, we’re talking about what it really means to lead with authority, without doing everything yourself. If you’ve stepped into leadership and feel like you’re carrying too much, picking up the slack, or staying overly involved just to make sure things don’t fall apart, this episode is for you. Many high performers struggle with the transition from doing the work to leading the work, especially when delegation feels risky or uncomfortable.
In episode 115, we’re talking about how to pivot your career without throwing away everything you’ve already built. If you’ve been thinking about changing careers but feel stuck because of fear, fear of losing seniority, taking a pay cut, wasting your experience, or being judged, this episode walks through how to make a strategic pivot that builds on your background instead of erasing it. I break down why most people don’t get stuck because they lack skills, but because they don’t know how to translate and position the experience they already have. You’ll learn how to move out of overthinking mode, test new paths without quitting impulsively, and build evidence-based confidence before making a big move.
In episode 114 of the Pivot and Promotion Podcast, I’m breaking down one of the most misunderstood truths about career advancement: promotions don’t go to the hardest worker. They go to the person who knows how to communicate their value. If you’ve ever felt overlooked despite carrying responsibility, delivering results, and doing what you were told would lead to advancement, this episode is for you.

In episode 113, we’re talking about one of the hardest career decisions high performers face: whether to pursue a promotion or make a pivot, without burning everything down or starting from scratch. As you achieve more, the stakes feel higher. Your income, identity, stability, and responsibility to others all get tied to your next move. That pressure often leads to overthinking, decision paralysis, or staying stuck longer than you want.
