You know that temptation to say “I’ll do anything” when you’re ready for something new? My guest today, Seyka Mejeur, is here to challenge that thinking. As the CEO of an executive search firm placing technical leaders in space and climate, Seyka spends her days helping founders and execs clarify what they actually want so they can make better decisions, faster.

We talked about how lack of clarity gets in your way more than you realize, why being “great at a lot of things” isn’t enough, and how to think like a decision-maker at the highest level. This episode is a wake-up call to stop waiting for someone else to figure it out for you and start showing up with a clear, compelling story.

In this episode, I’ll cover:

• How to create clarity in your career (even if it’s still evolving)
• Why vagueness is exhausting for you and everyone around you
• The question that will shift how you approach every career conversation

Think someone else just “got lucky” with that big opportunity? I used to believe that too. Until I started paying attention. In this episode, I’m sharing what really sets opportunity-spotters apart. It’s not magic. It’s not hustle. It’s observation and initiative.

If you’ve been waiting for someone to notice your work or hand you your next move, this is your reminder: visibility is something you create. I’ll walk you through how to train your brain to notice what's in front of you and shift from waiting to raising your hand.

In this episode, I’ll cover:

• How to spot hidden opportunities others miss
• What research says about initiative and being seen
• Why raising your hand changes how others see your potential

You’ve got the experience. You’re delivering results. So why does asking for more still feel... off? Today I’m talking about the internal blockers that hold us back from advocating for ourselves, especially when it comes to money, promotions, or recognition.

It’s not just about timing or strategy. It’s the stories we tell ourselves about being selfish, ungrateful, or difficult. I’ll walk you through a new lens for thinking about your value, and how to ask in a way that’s thoughtful, data-backed, and aligned with what the business needs.

If you’ve ever told yourself “now’s not the right time,” this one’s for you.

In this episode, I’ll cover:

• How to articulate your ROI and why it matters more than ever
• The data behind why asking is expected—and why most people don’t
• A better way to prepare for the conversation (and get a real yes)
