• “You are a light. You are the light. Never let anyone—any person or any force—dampen, dim or diminish your light. Study the path of others to make your way easier and more abundant. Lean toward the whispers of your own heart, discover the universal truth, and follow its dictates. […] Release the need to hate, to harbor division, and the enticement of revenge. Release all bitterness. Hold only love, only peace in your heart, knowing that the battle of good to overcome evil is already won. Choose confrontation wisely, but when it is your time don't be afraid to stand up, speak up, and speak out against injustice. And if you follow your truth down the road to peace and the affirmation of love, if you shine like a beacon for all to see, then the poetry of all the great dreamers and philosophers is yours to manifest in a nation, a world community, and a Beloved Community that is finally at peace with itself.” Thank you, John Lewis.

  • In April, I announced that I'd personally speak with 40 people who wanted to do more meaningful work by June. I did it. I heard 40 stories. I heard 40 versions of challenges and obstacles. I heard 40 versions of hopes and dreams. Some days I witnessed so much despair that I cried. Some days I was so delighted by people's spirit and resolve that I got off the phone and cheered. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Here's what I was reminded of: Everyone has obstacles. Everyone has a dream. Some will choose the obstacle. Some will choose the dream. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Holding 40 dreams in my heart, but pushing past obstacles with those who held their dream in theirs. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ To my wonderful new clients: You chose the dream in April. You'll choose the career in June. It's all your Homecoming. Keep choosing you.

  • I speak with so many people who never intended to end up in the career they're in. They took the first thing they could find, fell into it, or accepted what was offered without proactively looking for what they wanted. 5, 10, or 15 years later...and they're still there. Guide your career. Actively participate. Don't let it "happen" to you.

  • When the personality test results are the opposite of "I feel seen."⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Don't let the test get you down. There are more options available to you that will make you GIDDY. You just need to know how to find them. (Pssst...that's what I'm here for.)

  • ENJOY THE LUXURY⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I was so excited for my first job as a working actor, but after a couple weeks it hit me: this was going to be hard. There were areas where I needed improvement and in some ways, I was in over my head. At first I got discouraged. But then I realized that I'd rather be onstage and struggling to get better than anywhere else.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I stuck a little post-it note by bedroom door, so that as soon as my feet hit the floor each morning I would see its simple message: "Enjoy the luxury." The luxury of the struggle, of the opportunity, growth, the potential, the chance to get better at what I loved.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I would have liked it better if I was a natural genius who didn't need improvement, but I could enjoy the luxury of doing the work instead.

  • Where my MULTI-PASSIONATE PEOPLE at? This one's for you! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ When Clare moved to NYC, she had one goal in mind: become a Senior Copywriter within 3 years. She thought that would give her the income, respect, and creative work she needed to feel satisfied. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ She reached her goal a whole year early! And...discovered the achievement of that goal wasn't relevant to her actual desires. Turns out that using other people's journeys as a guidebook doesn't work. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ She joined Your Career Homecoming and stopped trying to conform to "shoulds" and other people's standards to find what was HOME for her. Here's what happened: ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ - She learned what she personally needed in order to be fulfilled in her career - She found a way to FOCUS her multi-passionate tendencies in a way that works for her... - ...without trying to cram herself and her work into box that would leave her feeling constrained ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ If you want to know exactly what she did and the step-by-step process she used, don’t miss my interview with her Wednesday, April 15th @ 8:30 pm EST over in my Facebook group.
