Get ready to challenge everything you thought you knew about "success" and discover why it's time to shift our focus from external markers to finding alignment from within. 🌟 Welcome to another segment of Flourishing Together. I'm excited to introduce you to JJ DiGeronimo, who shares this perspective and challenges the societal norms that often lead us to believe that material wealth or external validation are the ultimate markers of success.

JJ shares her path to alignment by starting a side gig while working full-time and the pivotal moments when she decided to follow her inner intuition or "whisper." We explore intriguing techniques like muscle testing and connecting with nature to seek guidance and tackle societal expectations about the illusion of external success, which often feels like chasing an oasis. JJ acknowledges that finances can be a significant hurdle when contemplating change, and she emphasizes the importance of getting "rich" from the energy she's creating versus a salary, job title, or types of customers you interact with.

I don't know about you, but I've had to force myself to step away from the madness — the information — upon information — upon information that is tossed at me every minute of the day (especially as we enter the holidays) is enough to make my mind spin. And with that, I've been thinking about ways to savor the season versus getting caught up in the stress of the season. So today, I'm going to walk you through my favorite topic: The Magic of Mindfulness. Don't worry; I will not recommend meditating under a willow tree for 3 hours (I don't have the patience for that!) Although I will share a handful of practices that have helped me shift from being on auto-pilot to being present, which is especially critical when making a heart-based career change. 💛 Free Gift: Download 20 Ways To Nourish Body, Mind, and Spirit in 5 Minutes a Day! 📚 Tools to help:

I’m here today to kick off a three-part series on the most frequently asked questions I receive about job searching. Special note, this series is specifically for those who know what they want to do next and are initiating a job search. The first FAQ I want to talk about is modernizing your cover letter. Especially since last week, we went through a crash course on refreshing your resume; I thought it would be appropriate to follow that with an episode about cover letters. This is a topic I receive a TON of questions about. From my perspective, if you’re interested in a company or role, why wouldn’t you write a note to the hiring manager to introduce yourself and share why you’re interested in the job? So, with that perspective in mind, today, I’m going to walk through: the goal of your cover letter, some ideas to modernize your approach to sending a cover letter, and thoughts on what to include in a cover letter, and then we will wrap up with a handful of quick tips. 💛 Free Gift: Cover Letter Checklist 📚 Tools to help:

Let's talk about something that brings us an instant smile: flowers! 🌸 Did you know these beautiful blooms remarkably impact our emotions and overall satisfaction? It's true! Research conducted by Rutgers has revealed the incredible power of flowers to trigger happiness, influence our behavior, and enhance our well-being. They are nature's mood boosters! When we talk about "stopping to smell (and notice!) the flowers," it goes beyond simply appreciating their beauty. It's about being attuned to the meaningful beauty and coincidences that occur in our lives, the synchronicities. These synchronicities are like whispers from the universe, guiding us toward our path and aligning us with purpose. Imagine the joy and fulfillment that come from paying attention to the synchronicities that come our way. They are the signs leading us to make HEART-Based career changes and live more purposefully. In this week's episode, we dive into the captivating world of synchronicities, sharing stories, insights, and practical tips to help you—"find the flowers"—recognize and embrace these magical moments.✨ So, if you're ready to discover the wonders of flowers and synchronicities AND embark on a HEART-Based career change, this episode is a must-listen! 💛 Free Gift: Heart-based Career Change Checklist 📚 Tools to help:

| 19 Jun 2024 | // Building Momentum and Fueling Your Progress | 00:07:28 | |
Do you often dread the start of another week, knowing that your job is draining your energy? If so, you're not alone. The good news is that we can change this. Let's shift our mindset—focus on possibilities, not limitations. Set energizing, HEART-based goals that resonate with your values. Instead of running away from what drains us, let's run toward what excites us. Don't underestimate the power of shaking up your routine. While stability is comforting, it doesn't always lead to growth. Introducing new habits and rituals can create space for exploration and innovation, leading to a more fulfilling path. Lastly, let's talk about momentum. In physics, an object in motion gains momentum. Investing just five minutes a day in ourselves can ignite that momentum in our careers. 🌟 🎧Related episodes: 📚 ⚙️ Tools to help: The Power of Belief: Mindset and Success by Eduardo Briceno 💛 Ways to work together:

I get it. Talking about yourself is HARD! Articulating your experience and career aspirations on one piece of paper is both an art and a science. It can be challenging when you’re in your own head all.the.time. It’s especially tricky with a career change. Throughout my 15+ years as an HR leader, I can tell you first-hand that these stats are accurate; Recruiters and hiring leaders will skim your resume for 6-ish seconds — if it doesn’t make an impression, you will get passed over. UNLESS, of course, you’ve done a great job at building relationships at your target companies (which I highly recommend) - then your resume will likely become an afterthought.

| 16 Aug 2023 | // Free To Flourish: How to Define Success on Your Terms | 00:18:33 | |
Have you ever taken the time to define your meaning of success? One of my all-time favorite topics is defining success on our own terms. Society's definition of success can be limiting and exhausting, but by focusing on our core + lifestyle values and redefining "enough," we can break free and pave our own path. By consciously defining success on our own terms, we can choose and pursue projects that bring genuine satisfaction and a sense of accomplishment. Let's break free from outdated expectations and focus on what truly matters. It's time to prioritize our well-being and our time. Success should not come at the expense of our well-being, and it's crucial to consider how we want to spend our time and prioritize our fulfillment. Because you deserve a long, radiantly happy + healthy career 🌟 Speaking of which, part of defining success for me is time away from the routine, which is what I’m planning for a few weeks this summer. As someone who believes in practicing what I preach, I’m so excited to fully immerse myself in the joys of summer and follow my favorite motto, “nourish to flourish.” Let’s support one another in embracing our unique paths and celebrating success in the moments that truly matter.

| 31 Jul 2024 | // Considerations Beyond Salary: Decoding Job Offers | 00:05:57 | |
Have you ever grappled with the decision to accept a job offer that falls short of our salary expectations? Picture this: you've aced the interviews and are gearing up for the final round, but then comes the bombshell—the company can't budge on the salary, leaving you with a significant gap between what you want and what they offer.

| 20 Oct 2023 | // BONUS Episode! Unplug, Unwind, Unleash: The Value of a (Solo) Mini-Vacation | 00:10:30 | |
"If you never get lost, you never get found." I can't stop thinking about the incredible benefits of a recent solo mini-vacation, but I also know the guilt that can come with it. I've been there, talking myself out of it time and again. One sunny afternoon, I saw a Jeep with a Life is Good tire cover that read, "If you never get lost, you never get found." It felt like a divine sign, so I booked a retreat to a charming lakeside cottage an hour from home. These two nights away were rejuvenating, reminding me of the value of breaking from routines. If a solo mini-vacation calls out to you, embrace it without guilt—it's worth it! 💛 Ways to work with me:
