Journey to Jupiter

5 years ago on April 5, 2019, we launched to share about different careers and the paths people have taken to them. 🛣️

We paused the show after the release of the 110th episode on 6/24/23 as life filled to the brim.🤹🏽‍♀️🧘🏽‍♀️

We are happy to share that we’ll soon be unpausing the show and returning to explore more careers and ideas to help you navigate your journey to your best life! 💫

To get warmed up, created a Spring 2024 playlist with songs that inspire, motivate and uplift her spirit. Check it out at the link below👇🏽 to get in on all the good vibes too! 🌈 Then, stay tuned for a new episode in the coming weeks! 🚀

We hope everyone is staying as cool as possible 🥵and enjoying the summer! 😎

Along with rest, relaxation and enjoying the present moment, it’s also good practice to be in reflection about the life we’ve lived and the life we’ll live ahead. Is the path we’re on in alignment with our values and life goals, or is it time to plan a pivot? 🤔

Featured guest on episode 1️⃣1️⃣0️⃣ Anitra Deen knows firsthand what it’s like to pivot after reassessing her previous career alongside her values and life’s mission. She is now the Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Anitra Deen Consulting and serves as a fractional Chief Operating Officer (COO) and strategic planner to organize clients' operations, plans, and processes for their business growth. 🚀

She’s on a mission to support women entrepreneurs and small business owners to move from being stuck and disorganized to having the clarity, structure, and momentum to take that next, first step. 🤝

In this episode, Anitra shares:

💡 Why she shifted her goal from following her passion to pursuing the path that allowed her to make the impact she wanted to make in the world

💡 How she discovered what she values most and how knowing what’s most important to her made it easy to walk away from careers in both law and higher education

💡The importance of recognizing the value in transferrable skills and why graduate degrees aren't always necessary

💡Two limiting beliefs that oftentimes keep us stuck in jobs that aren’t the right fit

A little wisdom shared from ep. 1️⃣0️⃣9️⃣ with Casby Bias…..

Many just starting out in their careers focus on networking up ⬆️ with those they think can help them grow in their careers. While networking up is important, it is also important to connect with others ↔️ who are in the same stage of your life and career journey. 💡

You will not only find some comfort with one another in being in the same stage of your career and life journeys, but you’ll also be building relationships that may be strong recommenders for employment opportunities down the road when you’re both more experienced. ✨🚀✨

Some start their careers moving out to California with the hope of making it big in Hollywood ✨ but end up moving back home after their dream isn’t realized as quickly as planned. 😔

Casby Bias shares her version of this story with us on episode1️⃣0️⃣9️⃣. Her journey to becoming a podcast producer for iHeartMedia shows that although your desired path is delayed, it doesn’t mean it’s denied or won’t happen eventually. 🌈

In this episode, she shares:

💡 The challenges she encountered upon moving out to Cali to pursue her dream of making it in Hollywood as an animator

💡 How she pivoted from pursuing a career as a creative to working in corporate communications

💡 How working in corporate communications lead her back to the creative space she was seeking in the first place

💡 The sense of failure she felt when moving back in with her parents and tips on how to navigate similar feelings when things don’t go as planned

💡 How producing her own podcast lead to her current job at iHeartMedia and what a podcast producer’s day-to-day on the job looks like

And we’re back 🧟‍♀️ from a month that’s felt much like a🎢 with our proverbial plate being filled to the brim! 🧆

We return with words of wisdom from Brian McLaughlin, our guest on ep. 1️⃣0️⃣8️⃣.

When we set out to be modest about our ambitions 🤐, we oftentimes do ourselves a disservice by not advocating for our goals.

The saying is that closed mouths don’t get fed. 😶 Speak up so others have you in mind for opportunities that align with what you want to pursue. 🗣️

And, of course, check out ep. 1️⃣0️⃣8️⃣ at the link below to listen to our convo with Brian about his unique journey into the film and television industry. 🎧👇🏽
