The One Where I Talk To Career Counsellor & Coach, Carolyn Couch

Send us Fan MailMy guest on this week's guest episode is the gorgeous Carolyn Couch. Single, childfree by choice, 64 years old, and living in North Caroline, Carolyn is a career counsellor and coach. In this conversation, Carolyn and I talk about what it was like growing up in a small town in a southern US state where, even more so back then, it was very much expected that you would get married and have children. But Carolyn just knew that the traditional path was not for her and so she stuck to her guns and forged her own path. I know that you’ll love this episode because we talk about all sorts of things, not least solo life, changing careers as a woman, and how we can use AI to our advantage.05:53 Lifelong Single Choice11:42 Solitude Not Loneliness13:21 Career Pivot Story16:28 Coaching Methods Mindset22:55 Advice for Single Women27:00 Money Skills Planning30:09 No Plan B Mindset30:53 Urgency Creates Momentum32:04 Baby Steps That Stick33:24 Clarity Through Action35:02 Accountability And Coaching37:51 Invest In Yourself39:16 Why Single Women Need Agency40:45 AI As Career Coach50:43 Gen Z Career AdviceCheck out Carolyn's website: https://thenextstepcareercoaching.com/Follow her on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thenextstepcareercoachingllcFollow her on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/the_next_step_career_coaching/Support the showBuy my book, SHINY HAPPY SINGLES (UK) / THRIVE SOLO (US & Canada) at: https://www.lucymeggeson.com/bookJoin my membership community for single women, Thrive Solo: https://www.lucymeggeson.com/thrivesoloDownload my FREE PDF 'Top 10 Comebacks for the MostAnnoying Questions Single Women Get Asked' Go to: https://www.lucymeggeson.com/comebacksCheck out my YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@thrivesolowithlucymeggeson Join my private Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1870817913309222/?ref=shareFollow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thrivesolowithlucymeggeson/Email me: [email protected] And thank you so much for listening!
