In episode 69, I’m getting real about a question I hear all the time: “How do I actually create a career plan that works for me?”

Here’s the deal—your career plan isn’t your company’s responsibility; it’s yours. Whether you’re aiming for a promotion, making a pivot, or building something entirely your own, it’s time to step up and take control.

I’m breaking it all down: how to set clear goals, figure out what skills you actually need, and build the relationships that’ll get you where you want to go. And yes, I’m also spilling on why keeping “success receipts” will save you when things get messy in the middle (because they always do).

This episode is here to remind you: no one’s going to plan your career for you—so let’s make it happen.

Key Takeaways:

• Define success your way—no one else gets to decide that for you.
• Create a timeline that works for your goals (and doesn’t stress you out).
• Build relationships—because no one gets anywhere solo.
• Reverse-engineer your goals—figure out the skills and steps you need now.
• Track your wins—those receipts will keep you going when it gets tough.
