    Episode 17: Financial Counselor Jessica Medina on Owning Your Purpose, and Your Career

    enJune 24, 2021

    About this Episode

    In this episode, I talk to Accredited Financial Counselor Jessica Medina about leaving her legal career to put work-life integration and her own purpose front and center. Jessica is Dominican and Puerto Rican.  She graduated from Columbia law school as a single mother to twins and with over $200k in student loan debt.  To confront the financial burden she felt after graduating from law school, Jessica worked for a prestigious law firm.  We discuss Jessica’s transition from struggling with money in law school and working for a firm, to representing the federal government, to paving her own path to pursue her love of helping others create feasible financial plans so they can have joyful and fulfilling lives.  We talk about the fear of change and discomfort, and how we can be so aware of something but yet not take action on it until later, and she drops some serious financial wisdom on us too.

    104. Amber J. Adams - Making a Career Move with Intention and Purpose (Part 2)

    104. Amber J. Adams - Making a Career Move with Intention and Purpose (Part 2)

    In this two-part episode, Arivee talks to Amber J. Adams, a Leadership and Career Wellness Coach helping mid-career professionals who feel stuck in the “messy middle” of their careers and scared that they are unconsciously blocking their potential to work and lead with intention, joy, and purpose.

    Before becoming a coach, Amber was an advertising executive who dreamed up fun marketing campaigns and had the privilege of leading high-performing creative teams. But like so many of her clients, she desired a pivot! 

    Today, she is the founder of Amber Career Studio where she creates space for mid-career professionals to sit the weight of leadership and work aside so they can channel their frustration into transformation and rediscover their capacity to move their careers forward. 

    In this conversation, Arivee and Amber delve into the biggest obstacles people experience when wanting to make a change, especially a professional one. Sometimes these changes are internally generated or externally forced, and we dig into both, including layoffs. For anyone struggling to progress towards a goal or wondering why they can’t just make it happen – this one is for you.

    In this episode, Arivee shares how to celebrate the version of you from 2023.  We are way too hard on ourselves.  We focus on what didn’t get done, instead all that we did.  We focus on what we’re still missing instead of what we currently have.  While we can hold space for everything, we tend to not hold enough space for the good and for all we did in one year. This is for you if want to know how to celebrate all you did in 2023, and start thinking about what you want to let go of, before entering 2024.

    98. How to Build Confidence (Part II)

    98. How to Build Confidence (Part II)

    In part two of this two part episode, Arivee shares three more key ways to build confidence.  They aren’t what you may think. The patriarchy would have you believe that you need to be “more confident” to be successful at work - but that is a zero sum game.  As women and women of color, research shows that regardless of how we show up, men perceive our lack of career progression as due to a lack of self-confidence.  We’re either “overcompensate” which signals a lack of confidence or we don’t have the right “presence” or “voice” or “posture” which are also signals of a lack of confidence - according to the research on this topic.

    While we cannot change others’ judgments or perceptions of us and our level of confidence, many women generally want to feel good about themselves.  Regardless of how we are perceived at work, we want to feel confident about who we are and how we show up in life.  This episode is for you if you want to take your power back and learn how to build confidence in practical ways each day.
