// How To Cultivate Luck In Your Career 🍀

As we move into the month of March, I'm cultivating all the four-leaf clover energy and discussing one of my favorite topics—serendipity and how you can intentionally build luck into your career. 🍀
For those who share my enthusiasm for this subject, you'll appreciate that luck isn't just a random chance; it often results from being prepared and ready to seize opportunities. When you invest time in acquiring knowledge, honing your skills, and fostering a positive mindset, you become attuned to recognizing and making the most of opportunities. Luck is the bridge connecting your readiness to the right moment.
Join me in embracing luck with a mindset of possibility, trusting the process, and watching as fate works magic in your professional life. Here’s to seeing + seizing allll the serendipitous moments in our careers! 🍀

// Passion Projects: Pursuing Your Side Gig

Five years ago, I nervously hit "publish" on my website, marking the start of a remarkable path (with many highs and lows and starts and stops!). Today, I'm thrilled to share how a side gig can evolve into a full-time HEART-based path.♥Many crave something new but hesitate due to inexperience. I say, give it a shot—start with a side gig. In today’s episode, let's explore the three-part framework to set the foundation for a flourishing side gig: TIME, TAILOR, and TRIAL. Starting a side gig is about managing your time wisely, tailoring your offering to your strengths, and continually refining it through trials.
So, join me in taking tiny steps to move forward, refining your approach, and embracing the learning process. Your passion project might lead to a flourishing career. 🌟

// Success Reimagined: The Richness of Energy Featuring JJ DiGeronimo

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. What if we measured success by the energy we create versus conventional metrics such as salary, job titles, or the types of customers we interact with? 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. Join us as we dive into the illusion of success and how to feel in alignment with our life and career paths from the inside out.

// Kick-off To Season 4! I Swapped Productivity for Presence and Here’s What Happened

Welcome to season 4 of the Flourish Careers Podcast!
Picture this: I met up with a friend after a long time, looking forward to an evening of connection and laughter. However, what unfolded was a stark reminder of the distractions that steal away precious moments.
Do you have a ritual of selecting a word or theme of the year? In today's episode, I'm sharing how this experience with my friend shaped the selection of "presence" as my theme for 2023 and how I intentionally swapped productivity for presence.
We'll explore the concept of time as our most precious and nonrenewable resource—how I used to waste away it while always pursuing productivity, including a 40-day "No Email on Phone" experiment.
This episode is an invitation to embrace the potential of selecting a word of the year and venturing on a professional growth expedition. Your route to a more fulfilling career might begin with a single word. ♥

These friendships make work more enjoyable and significantly impact our well-being, motivation, and overall life satisfaction. #NourishToFlourish
