Solo Show: How Mandi's Coaching Women Through This Incredibly Competitive Job Market

Hey BA Fam! Mandi is flying solo this week, and whew—she came with heart, and hard truths. She’s breaking down what’s really going on in today’s job market beyond the headlines, and what she’s learning from working 1:1 with high-achieving women who are stuck in the “I have the résumé, but why can’t I get the offer?” cycle. Spoiler: It’s not your résumé. It’s your network. In this episode: Why her new 12-session VIP coaching model is shifting lives (and not just for her clients) Why LinkedIn visibility still matters (yes, even if you hate it) The power of internal referrals and how she leverages her own network to open doors What career growth has to do with gardening (yes, really—succession planting is the metaphor you didn’t know you needed) Why women in senior roles still need to sow new seeds and push past discomfort to make new career connections How to approach networking without being the “take-take-take” person PLUS:Mandi’s take on the U.S. fertility panic, RFK’s eugenics-adjacent policy ideas, the “Donate to Pay the National Debt” nonsense (yes, that’s real), and why even Fluffy and Fido are feeling the effects of inflation. 📚 And shoutout to the BA Book Club! She shares highlights from the first-ever live author chat with Cebo Campbell and gives us the scoop on our next read: The Ghost of Gwendolyn Montgomery by Clarence Haynes. TAKEAWAY CHALLENGE:What did you do this week to form a new connection in your career? Mandi’s got marching orders, BA fam — it’s time to stop relying on the old network and plant something new.
