Feeling Stuck in Your Career? The Reason May Not be What You Think S5E12
In this episode, you will find out that the real tension making you feel stuck is not just about overwhelm at home or being in the wrong career. It could be that you are staying in a career you already know isn't leading toward the life you actually want.If you have been feeling restless, frustrated with yourself, or irritated with everyone around you, this episode is for you. We explore the "secret tension" that no one is talking about: the conflict between your current role and your future vision.In this episode, we cover:The 3 Reasons You Feel Frustrated: Why feeling stuck usually comes down to undefined career seasons, overloaded life capacity, or a misaligned direction.The 4 Career Seasons: How to identify if you are in the "Stay and Strengthen," "Adjust and Realign," "Explore What's Possible," or "Ready to Take a Strategic Leap" phase.Capacity Reality Check: How to ask yourself if you are truly maxed out or if you are actually hiding behind your busyness.The Vision Question: The one critical question to ask yourself: "If I keep giving maximum effort to this current life for the next 3-5 years, will it move me toward the life I want or further from it?".When your career season aligns with the life you are building toward, even a full season feels manageable and meaningful.Mentioned in this episode:Take the Career Change Quiz: https://sherimiterco.com/careerquizLove this episode or have questions?

Fearless Career Change: How Faith, Courage, and Clarity Lead to Your Next Step S5E10
If you feel God nudging you toward a new path but fear is louder than your faith, or if you are waiting for a guarantee before you take the first step, this episode is for you.Today, I am sharing a special message from my recent visioneering workshop for the Discovering Your Calling alumni. We explore three specific Bible stories that reveal a hard truth: often, the miracle only happens after you take the risky step.I discuss why we often hesitate to act because we do not want to look foolish or fail. We look at the stories of Joshua and the widow to see why obedience often defies logic, and why your "jar of oil" is already enough to start.You’ll learn:✓ The "Flood Stage" Faith: Why you must step into the water before the river stops flowing (Joshua 3). ✓ The "Jericho Strategy": How to move forward even when the plan seems illogical or embarrassing to others. ✓ The "Empty Jar" Lesson: Why you need to ask for help and use the resources you already have right now. ✓ The Art of "Shutting the Door": How to block out distractions to focus entirely on your assignment. ✓ Reframing Success: Why God meets obedient action rather than waiting for perfect faith.Mentioned in this episode:2026 Career Change Quiz Feeling successful but quietly restless?

Leading Through Change with CliftonStrengths® & Vision Crafting — A Conversation with John Hildebrand S5E08
If you’ve set big goals for the year but they already feel like a heavy obligation... or if you’re a leader trying to fix team problems but only finding more frustration... this episode is for you.Today, I sat down with organizational change strategist John Hildebrand to explore why traditional goal setting often fails without a "magnetic vision." We discuss the science behind why goals can become "negative emotional attractors" when they aren't connected to a larger purpose, and how to shift your brain into a state that sustains long-term growth.John shares his personal journey from a status-driven definition of success to one of deep self-discovery. We unpack the difference between "fixing" and "visioneering," the hidden power of Empathy in leadership, and the specific questions you need to ask to bypass your inner critic.You’ll learn:✓ The "Magnetic Vision" Secret: Why setting goals without an inspiring 10-year vision is a recipe for burnout and failure. ✓ Vision Crafting vs. Problem Solving: How to use the "Positive Opposite" approach to focus on what you want to see, rather than obsessing over what’s wrong. ✓ The "Lottery Question": A powerful exercise to silence your practical brain ($500 million tax-free!) and discover what truly lights you up. ✓ Empathy as a Hard Skill: Why this talent is often misunderstood and how it serves as a direct line to building trust in teams. ✓ Living the Questions: Wisdom from poet Rainer Maria Rilke on how to be patient with uncertainty and "live your way" into the answers.Mentioned in this episode:The Science of Change Book by Richard Boyatzis: https://www.amazon.com/s?k=science+of+change+boyatzis&adgrpid=185684972785&hvadid=779615795428Connect with John Hildebrand: https://www.linkedin.com/in/john-hildebrand/John’s Website: https://johnhildebrand.comIf you’re ready to stop striving and start aligning with your God-given talents, let’s connect.

If you feel exhausted by your business even though you’re doing everything "right"… this episode is for you.Today, I share a powerful case study from a recent client session that reveals why following "expert" advice might be exactly what’s draining you. It’s not about working harder. It’s not about time management. It’s about the subtle but dangerous misalignment between your natural strengths and your daily tasks.I unpack the "24 Hours" myth, the difference between pruning and harvesting seasons, and why clarity often comes from quiet confirmation rather than fireworks.You’ll learn:✓ Why doing "everything right" on paper can still leave you feeling wrong inside ✓ The "24 Hours" Myth: Why you need to stop comparing your day to someone else’s ✓ How to identify if you are relying on your "lower talent themes" and why it causes burnout ✓ The critical difference between a "Pruning Season" and a "Harvesting Season" — and how to accept where you are ✓ Why your strengths don't replace discernment, but support it ✓ 4 specific questions to ask yourself to move from hustle to alignment Mentioned in this episode:The Only 2 Tips You Need for Success and Balance in 2025:https://www.buzzsprout.com/2081544/episodes/16360443If you’re ready to stop striving and start aligning with your God-given talents, let’s connect.

How to Navigate the Emotional Rollercoaster and Achieve Your Goals - Even During Chaotic Times S4E65
Is summertime chaos throwing your goals off track? You're definitely not alone! Even the most motivated among us can struggle to maintain focus when schedules get disrupted and routines fly out the window.In this episode, I shared a powerful concept called the Attitude Wheel that perfectly illustrates the emotional ups and downs we experience while working on a new project.“The Attitude Wheel… helped me always realize, one, my feelings are normal, and two, how to get out of that dippy dump area, that dip where we might want to give in and say, I'm not supposed to be doing this, I can't do this."The Attitude Wheel breaks down this emotional journey into four distinct stages:Excitement (12 o'clock): You're brimming with enthusiasm and feel unstoppable.Doubt (3 o'clock): The initial excitement wanes and the finish line seems miles away.Fear and Procrastination (6 o'clock): Self-doubt creeps in, and you start questioning your abilities. Procrastination becomes your best friend (or worst enemy!).Renewal (9 o'clock): You remind yourself of your "why" and refuel your motivation.The key takeaway? These emotional shifts are totally normal! The important thing is to recognize them and have strategies in place to move through the inevitable dips in motivation.This episode equips you with 7 actionable tips to navigate the Attitude Wheel and stay on track, including:Revisit your "why": Reconnect with the core reasons behind your goal.Remember the reward: Focus on the positive outcome and how it outweighs the challenges.Create mini-habits: Break down your goals into small, manageable tasks.Schedule breaks: Avoid burnout by incorporating dedicated rest periods.Work with your energy: Match your activities to your natural energy levels.Seek support: Don't hesitate to ask for help from others.Take action: Commit to a single step within 24 hours to keep the momentum going.Ready to conquer your summer goals?
