The Money Honey - Women in Property, Finance & Construction

If you’re feeling unhappy in your job, stuck in your career, or wondering whether to quit, this episode will challenge how you think about work and what you should do next.In this episode of the Money Honey Podcast, I’m giving you the honest, unfiltered advice I give to my closest friends and family when they tell me they hate their job.This isn’t about telling you to stay somewhere that makes you miserable. It’s about understanding why you feel the way you do, and making sure you’re not making decisions that keep you stuck in the same cycle.Because the truth is, constantly moving jobs without learning anything will only slow your progress.In this episode, I talk about:Why job hopping without purpose can hold you backThe mindset shift that will change how you see your current roleHow to use a job you don’t love to your advantageWhat you should focus on instead of office politics and environmentThe real reason you might feel stuck or unfulfilledThis is your reminder that you were hired to deliver, grow, and build something for yourself, not just to enjoy the environment around you.And if you’re going to move, make sure you’re moving with intention, not just emotion.If this hits, share it with someone who needs to hear it.--#CareerAdvice#CareerGrowth#JobSearch#WorkLifeAdvice#MindsetShift#ProfessionalDevelopment#WomenInBusiness#MoneyHoneyPodcast--Chapters00:00 Sisterly Advice for Job Unhappiness03:11 Understanding Job Expectations and Realities06:04 Delivering Results Despite Unhappiness08:53 Learning and Growing in a Challenging Environment12:02 Networking and Building Relationships14:51 Proactive Strategies for Job Satisfaction17:31 Focusing on Success Over Negativity20:26 The Pursuit of the Perfect Job—🌐 Let’s Stay Connected👉 Instagram (Manuka Media): https://www.instagram.com/manukamedia/ 👉 Instagram (@Rosalia Lazzara): https://www.instagram.com/rosalialazzara/?hl=en 👉 Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@themoneyhoneypodcast 👉 Linkedin: https://uk.linkedin.com/in/manukamedia 👉 Website: https://manukamedia.co.uk/👉 Newsletter: https://preview.mailerlite.io/forms/495274/160566194576820153/share—Listen to the Money Honey Podcast 🎧 new episodes drop every Wednesday!👉 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3ZruhzJaa7ny36Tjz9wxza?si=0ac1f9240f61467c👉 Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-money-honey-women-in-property-finance-construction/id1704800282—Subscribe for your weekly dose of money, mindset & moves:https://www.youtube.com/@TheMoneyHoneyPodcast?sub_confirmation=1

If you’re struggling with low confidence, self-doubt or feeling like you’re not good enough, this episode is for you. Here’s how to rebuild confidence, silence your inner critic and take action when you feel stuck.This is one of those honest, no-BS conversations I wish I had when I completely lost confidence in myself.After pouring weeks of time, money and energy into something I truly believed would work… it flopped. Hard. And I spiralled. Self-doubt took over, comparison kicked in, and that inner voice? Brutal.But here’s what I’ve learned—and what I’m sharing with you in this episode:✨ Your inner critic is not the truth✨ Confidence doesn’t come from thinking differently—it comes from doing differently✨ Comparing yourself isn’t the problem… it’s how you use it✨ You don’t need fake positivity—you need honest reframing✨ And sometimes? You just need to get over yourself and get back to workThis episode is part of my “Listen When” series—short, real conversations for when you need a reset, a shift, or just someone in your ear reminding you who you are.If you’re in that place where you feel behind, not good enough, or like everyone else is doing better than you… listen to this.And if it hits—share it with someone who needs it too.--Chapters00:00 Reigniting Confidence02:48 Understanding the Inner Critic06:04 Reframing Negative Thoughts11:45 Learning from Setbacks--#confidence #selfdoubt #mindsetshift #innercritic #selfbelief #personaldevelopment #growthmindset #entrepreneurmindset #womensupportingwomen #businessmindset #selfimprovement #motivationdaily #confidenceboost #overthinking #mindsetmatters—🌐 Let’s Stay Connected👉 Instagram (Manuka Media): https://www.instagram.com/manukamedia/ 👉 Instagram (@Rosalia Lazzara): https://www.instagram.com/rosalialazzara/?hl=en 👉 Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@themoneyhoneypodcast 👉 Linkedin: https://uk.linkedin.com/in/manukamedia 👉 Website: https://manukamedia.co.uk/👉 Newsletter: https://preview.mailerlite.io/forms/495274/160566194576820153/share—Listen to the Money Honey Podcast 🎧 new episodes drop every Wednesday!👉 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3ZruhzJaa7ny36Tjz9wxza?si=0ac1f9240f61467c👉 Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-money-honey-women-in-property-finance-construction/id1704800282—Subscribe for your weekly dose of money, mindset & moves:https://www.youtube.com/@TheMoneyHoneyPodcast?sub_confirmation=1
