Are interviewers secretly doubting you—and you have no idea what their concerns even are? In this video, I reveal what really happens in debriefing rooms after you leave the interview, and why the reason they give you for not getting the job is almost never the real reason.

I share the eye-opening story of Alex, a software developer who was the perfect candidate on paper—but we almost didn't hire him because we thought he was "too outgoing" for our quiet office. Spoiler: he became one of our best hires and transformed our culture. But if we hadn't brought him back to address our hidden concern, we would've rejected him and told him it was because another candidate had "more experience."

Learn the seven categories of concerns interviewers have (that they'll never tell you to your face), why asking "do you have any concerns about me?" at the end of an interview backfires, and the strategic questions Alex asked that completely flipped our perception. If you're getting interviews but not offers—and they keep saying you're "not the right fit"—this video will show you what's really going on behind closed doors.

Are you letting other people's "reality" limit what you believe is possible for you? In this raw episode, I share why a LinkedIn post from my friend Basant (a Google employee who got her job by catering their events) made me realize we all live in completely different realities—and why that changes everything.

I unpack the brutal comments she received for quitting a toxic job ("she deserves a slap in the face to put her back into reality"), and why the people telling you to "face reality" are actually just telling you about their limitations, not yours. Plus, I share the story of quitting my own toxic job without telling my ex first, the backlash I got, and why it was still the best decision I ever made.

Learn why your belief about whether things have to be "hard" will literally create that reality for you, how shifting one thought (things don't have to be so hard) led to three new clients in one week through automation, and the paradox of outworking your doubt. If you've been absorbing negative narratives about the job market or feeling pressured to stay in situations that drain you, this episode will show you how to choose your own reality instead.

Are you answering interview questions without realizing you're triggering automatic "no" responses in the interviewer's mind? In this video, I reveal the four words that act as an automatic passm - a phrase so powerful that my old boss (who's hired hundreds at a top tech firm) confirmed it instantly builds trust.

I break down exactly when and where to use "I could be wrong" (and variations of it) to show you're collaborative, humble, and safe to work with. Plus, I share two bonus automatic pass examples I caught while watching Netflix and a movie—including the mic drop moment that made an entire room go silent and landed the candidate the job on the spot.

Learn why interviewers are mentally categorizing your answers as "yes" or "no" with every response, how to rack up more yeses than nos, and the specific situations where inserting this phrase will move you to the next round. If you've been making it to interviews but not getting offers, these automatic pass phrases could be exactly what's missing.

Are you exhausted from applying to 300+ jobs with nothing to show for it? In this video, I expose the three sneaky reasons why smart people work hard but don't get hired and what to do instead.

I share the story of my client Cathy, who spent eight months "doing everything right" but couldn't answer one critical question that revealed why she was stuck. You'll discover why easy-apply submissions are literally like running on a treadmill (you're tired but not moving), the uncomfortable truth about what actually counts as progress, and the drama trap that's quietly stealing your focus from what would actually get you hired.

Learn the three questions you must ask yourself after every interview to extract the data from failure, why most people avoid this work (even though it's what creates breakthroughs), and how to stop tricking your brain into thinking you're being productive when you're not. If you've been wondering "what am I doing wrong?" but don't have clear theories yet, this video will change everything.

What happens when you're overworked, underpaid, and about to settle for even less money just to survive? In this Success Spotlight episode, I sit down with my client Jessica, an ecologist who was dangerously close to applying for jobs paying $20-30K less than her previous salary until she decided to invest in herself instead.

Jessica shares her raw journey from accepting "that's just how it is" in conservation work to landing a $40K raise and moving to her dream state. We unpack the exact moment she almost said yes to a job offering significantly less money, why her brain kept telling her to "just take anything," and the specific mindset shifts that changed everything. From hating networking to landing her role through an authentic July conversation that manifested months later, Jessica's story proves what's possible when you stop fighting for your limitations.

Hear how she used the cocktail party method, managed her anxiety about the future, and why she says coaching gave her more results than years of therapy. If you're exhausted from the "numbers game" and wondering if you should just settle, this episode will show you there's another way.

Are you secretly applying for jobs you're overqualified for because you think it's your only option? In this raw, unfiltered episode recorded at 5am, I'm saying the thing that might trigger some people, but needs to be said.

I'm calling out the posts on LinkedIn where people are defending why they should be considered for lower-level roles, and why fighting for your limitations is keeping you stuck. Your brain wants certainty so badly that it's convinced you taking scraps is the "realistic" choice. But here's what I know after coaching hundreds of people: when you can't even get the job you're overqualified for, it's not because the market is impossible, it's because you're trying to solve the wrong problem.

I share the story of a client who thought he "just put together some PowerPoints" (spoiler: he didn't), why employers' concerns about overqualified candidates are actually valid, and the harsh truth about what skills you're missing that worked fine 20 years ago but don't cut it now. If you're tired of shrinking yourself and ready to learn what actually works, this episode won't coddle you, but it will show you the way forward.

Is the constant doom-and-gloom on LinkedIn making you feel like your job search is hopeless? In this episode, I'm calling out the elephant in the room: market talk, and why it might be the biggest thing sabotaging your success right now.

I break down why those viral posts about how terrible everything is aren't just unhelpful—they're actually keeping you stuck. Your brain is wired to hyperfocus on negative information, and when you see hundreds of people complaining and commiserating, it feels productive. But it's not.

Here's what I know after 11 years of doing this: there are people winning right now—whether you see it or not. I share what I had to do in my own business when things stopped working, why focusing on people who don't want to hire you is a trap, and where your attention actually needs to go if you want different results. If you're tired of feeling brought down every time you open social media, this episode will show you exactly what to focus on instead.
