96. Ask Your Family This Question on Thanksgiving (It'll Change Your Life)

Episode notes

What if the fastest way to rebuild your career confidence isn’t another resume update or headline hack, but a game you play at the holiday dinner table? In this quick, punchy episode, I share the deceptively simple activity I first tried with my own family and how it genuinely changed how I see myself and my career. Instead of diving into another round of job searching advice, I break down the power of this crowdsourced strengths game and why hearing the real, non-sarcastic things your loved ones admire about you hits differently (especially when you’re feeling stuck or rejected). I’ll show you exactly how to play so it’s not awkward and how to use what you hear to interrupt those negative self-talk spirals. If you’re feeling discouraged, wrestling with imposter syndrome, or just want to remind yourself what you actually bring to the table (career-wise, not just the mashed potatoes), this episode is your permission slip to get radically honest feedback from the people who know you best. Try this game, and you’ll realize you’re more resilient and capable than your circumstances would have you believe. So go ahead, hit play and let’s dive in.
