“The worst-case scenario usually isn’t that bad. But that’s what keeps most people from going for it.”

We all have ideas and beliefs about why things aren’t possible for us. But when you develop self-awareness, you know that you’re doing what it is you should be doing so you can build a fulfilling career and life.

We’re always evolving and learning how to become who we are so we can live a life we’re proud of and we feel is meaningful.” –Blake Schofield (1:03:09-1:03:26)

Figuring Out What You Need to Be Fulfilled

When we don’t listen to our inner voices, we can feel unsettled, constantly wondering why we can’t be happy. Your inner voice is never wrong. It all comes down to what you’re doing and how you’re listening (or ignoring) that voice.

When you follow your interests, you can develop the expertise you didn’t know you had, and it can be the foundation for new opportunities.

With the right skills, you know you can be successful, and you know you can always start over. The clients I work with are incredibly talented. But that talent isn’t being realized because of their fears.

“Every single person knows what they’re meant to do and what they want to do. It all depends on how many things are keeping you from seeing what’s inside of you.” – Katya Sarmiento (1:10:17-1:10:31)

But we can’t see the label from inside the bottle. So we often need someone who’s been through the journey and who’s helped other people through that same journey.

Realigning Your Life With What Matters

Everyone knows, in their heart, what they’re meant to be doing. It just takes time to figure out. It takes mentorship, grace, flexibility, and resilience.

Life is never going to be perfect. We often think that if we make a certain amount of money or have a certain level of success that we’ll be truly happy. We think that means never having problems or never being afraid. But that’s never the case.

We don’t have to feed the stories or our fears. No matter how big the wave is, we just have to ride it and give ourselves some grace along the way.

Work with someone who can ask you the right questions and uncover the things that are keeping you from seeing the truth. Get clear on what it is that you really want. When you do that, you can start creating a fulfilling career and life for the future.


Rather than hoping the grass will be greener, identify what the RIGHT next step is.

We can help you do just that.

Get clarity on where you are on your journey to career fulfillment, where you’re headed, optional paths to get there, and the right next step to take.
