Pivoting as a Freelancer, Giving Credit Where Credit Is Due & Expat Life

Episode 3

Hi friends! Are you ready for the 3rd episode of my podcast? This one feels especially close to my heart because it dives into three topics on my radar at the moment, ones that I suspect you may be navigating too.

In this episode, I share:

  • The Pivot: What happens when you’ve reached many of your professional goals and wake up wondering, “What’s next?” I talk about how to navigate the fear and excitement of reinventing yourself mid-career and why it’s okay to want something different now than you did years ago.

  • Giving Credit Where Credit Is Due: If you’ve ever felt unappreciated after helping others, you’ll want to listen to this. I open up about a personal experience where I connected someone to a job, only to see them erase my involvement publicly. It hurt—and I explain why we all need to be mindful about showing gratitude to the people in our lives who are always there to help us out.

  • Expat Life: As an American in Germany for 15 years (so far!), I’ve learned a valuable tip that I may help you whether you’re moving to a new culture or to a new town in your own country. I also share some tips for building a life that feels like home, even when everything around you is unfamiliar.

Whether you’re considering a big life change, feeling a little used, or simply curious about expat life, I think you’ll find something here that resonates.

As always, I’d love to hear your thoughts—what clicked with you, and what’s your own experience with these themes?
