What is sustainable work? I'm here to help and I've teamed up with fellow career coach Brian Klindworth to chat openly and vulnerably about some of the trends (and big feelings) we're seeing right now and how you can be ok, even in times of intense change and challenge.

Sustainable work requires you to design a career and life that you don’t want to escape from. In this episode we unpack courage, life design, flexibility and lots more things that impact your work and relationship with yourself. We also share plenty of example of when things totally broke down and we knew we needed to change things and redesign our work. How we work is just as important as what we do.

Some of the things we cover:

• What is life and career design?
• Continuous career transition and knowing when and how to pivot
• Signals that your current work (and life) are not sustainable
• How to move the dial when you’re feeling unbalanced and unhappy
• Building up courage to change
• What you’re willing to do and what boundaries to set up and protect
• Financial impact of sustainable career decisions
• How to have courageous conversations to help you grow your career options
• Flexibility and how it feeds into career planning and career design
• Spotting toxic work situations and how to get out of them
• The power of a soft landing job and backup funds to give you healthier career choices
• How sleep impacts your productivity and happiness
