The Unstuck Career

Send us Fan Mail This week, I explore the limits we accept without ever testing them. A dentist’s recurring problem, a numbed mouth, and a surprising product that may reverse Novocaine’s effects reveal how often we simply put up with frustrations because we don’t know an alternative exists.I’ll take you from a moving truck on the highways of Wyoming to Harry Houdini’s supposedly locked jail cell, which turned out to be unlocked all along. What if some of the barriers holding you back are assumptions rather than facts? And what could change if you truly believed that, with God, nothing is impossible?Want to connect?

Send us Fan MailThis week, I sit down with Susan, who found me on TikTok and bravely reached out in the midst of her own messy "what’s next" journey. After a pivotal four-year reboot—relocating solo, embracing huge physical changes, and diving deep into self-discovery—Susan is now staring down her last big pivot: finding work that actually feels good. Together, we get real about the exhausting loop of taking jobs out of necessity rather than choice, and the sneaky fears that keep us stuck—even when everything else in life is finally clicking into place.You’ll hear Susan’s candid reflections on why she dreads Mondays, the discomfort of corporate games, and her simmering desire to move past “just surviving” into a role with meaning, flexibility, and impact. We unpack the universal struggle with fear and self-trust—what if it’s worse on the other side?—and why sometimes, all it takes is eight seconds of courage to make the next leap.If you sense you’re one decision away from a more fulfilling direction (but feel fear and uncertainty snapping at your heels), this conversation is for you.

Send us Fan MailThis week, I’m asking a question that exposed more than a coolant leak: What am I tolerating simply because I’ve forgotten that I have options? I share how I ignored a problem with my car for months, only to discover that a five-minute test and a small repair could fix it. The same thing happened with electrical problems I had tolerated for years, because I was afraid to find out what the diagnosis might be.You’ll be invited to take inventory of the parts of your life you’ve quietly accepted, whether it’s a miserable job, an unresolved problem, or a change you’ve ruled out before even trying. Pick one thing, get the diagnosis, ask for help, and take a step.

In this episode, Ken Williams explores a question most of us have never truly considered: who is really making the decisions about your career and your life? We assume that we’re in control, but as Ken Williams points out, too often we delegate that authority to our jobs, our bosses, societal expectations, or even an unwashed bathroom.

Tune in as we uncover the subtle shifts that can help you build the life you truly want, starting with one powerful question: who's holding the pen to your story?If you're ready to take the next step and get unstuck and unstoppable, you can find time on Ken's calendar at https://unstuckcareer.com/unstuck

Send us Fan MailThis week, we're tackling a question that’s been haunting so many of us: Is fear really about not knowing something, or is it about not truly knowing yourself? If you’ve ever caught yourself thinking, “Something’s got to change—I can’t keep doing this,” you’re in the right place. I open up about my own journey dealing with fear, from stumbling through podcast recordings with my cat as a surprise guest, to agonizing over what people (and yes, even my mom) would think when I took the leap into coaching and entrepreneurship.You’ll hear the unexpected ways confidence—and more importantly, identity—shape how much fear controls your life and career.

Send us Fan MailThis week, we break down one of the most misunderstood roadblocks in your career: the fear of failure. But here’s the twist—what if it’s not really failure you’re afraid of? I challenge the “fear of failure” myth and reveal the deeper anxiety that keeps so many of us from making bold career moves. (Hint: it’s about other people knowing you didn’t succeed.)You’ll hear why the real fear might be about being seen as incompetent or about inviting criticism—especially from yourself, not others. I open up about my own stumbles, from unedited podcast mishaps (cat and all) to struggling through countless attempts while learning to fly an airplane, to show you how almost everyone is actually supportive when you take risks. We’ll talk about the subtle sabotage that happens when you worry what others might think, and I’ll share how reframing that fear can open up more possibilities than you ever expected.If you’re tired of letting self-doubt hold you back and want practical insight into reframing fear, tune in for a refreshing take that will get you moving forward again.

Send us Fan MailThis week, we tackle a myth that keeps too many professionals stuck in place: the belief that you’re “too old” to change careers, go back to school, or start over. Have you ever caught yourself thinking that you’ve missed your chance or that it’s simply too late? I open up about the real fears behind this mindset—including my own hesitation about pursuing a master’s degree and the realization, at age 55, that it was time to reclaim ownership of my career.We dig into some powerful truths: the time will pass anyway, and you’ll always be faced with the choice—stay where you are, or use that time to build the skills and experiences you actually want. I’ll share the classic wisdom about planting a tree, and why today is always the second best time to start something meaningful (the best time, of course, was years ago).

Along the way, we tackle the all-too-common story of talking ourselves out of what we want, and what it would mean to finally live life on your own terms.

Send us Fan MailDo you constantly put things off until you finally “feel ready”? This week’s episode tackles the myth of ever being 100% ready before making a big move in your career or life. I open up about my own struggles with procrastination and perfectionism, sharing why waiting to feel ready is actually just another form of staying stuck.

Send us Fan MailWhat if you could keep your 9-to-5 and still build something deeply meaningful on the side? In this episode, I sit down with Mateo Platsidakis, the founder of The Forward Kind, to talk about what it means to chase “more” out of life without blowing up everything you already have. Mateo’s story is one so many of us can relate to—a job he enjoys, but a sense that something important was missing, leading him to launch a brand built on mental health awareness, resilience, and community.We dig into the power of side projects to not just fill the gaps in our lives, but to make us better—not only at work, but as people. Mateo’s journey shows how giving ourselves permission to pursue that “something more” can actually help us flourish in unexpected ways. We get real about grief, change, and why kindness (to ourselves and others) is absolutely non-negotiable if you want to keep moving forward through hard times.If you’re looking for a reason to bet on your own “what if,” or just need a reminder that you’re not alone when things feel heavy—you don’t want to miss this conversation.

Send us Fan MailThis week, we challenge one of the biggest myths out there—the idea that a traditional job is supposed to make you feel safe and secure. Have you ever caught yourself thinking, “If I just made more money, then I’d finally feel safe”? I unpack why that sense of security you’re searching for will never come from your job title, paychecks, or even the size of your bank account.We’ll explore real stories and insights from a recent coaching call that illustrate how chasing external safety is a moving target—no matter how much you earn or what your circumstances look like, there’s always a new worry waiting around the corner. Instead, the real key is learning to trust yourself. I break down actionable ways you can start building genuine confidence and a sense of safety that comes from within, rather than hinging your peace of mind on an employer or career status.If you’re tired of letting your sense of security depend on someone else’s decisions, this episode will give you the mindset shift you need. Let’s dig into why “playing it safe” is actually the riskiest thing you can do—and what to focus on if you want to create a career and life you can truly trust.

She shares the vulnerable truth about ignoring her mental health for over a decade, the stigma she faced around therapy in the workplace, and the powerful moment she realized being let go might just be the freedom she always wanted.We dig into how personal losses, especially the pain of pregnancy loss, shaped Shruti’s calling and led her to build a business focused on supporting bereaved mothers. You'll hear honest discussion about battling “the template life” that society pushes, the unexpected sense of relief from job rejections, and why trusting yourself—rather than the false security of a steady paycheck—is the only real safety net.Looking for hope after a layoff, or curious about building a career that actually honors your experiences?

You might have seen him on the Kelly Clarkson Show or blowing up on TikTok, but what you haven’t heard is how a school project and a “bad grade” launched a multi-thousand-bottle business—all started to prove a point, and powered by Drew’s mission to support people with disabilities.If you’ve ever wondered how to break free from a so-called “crappy job” or doubted what’s possible for yourself, Drew’s story is going to be a reset.
