Transcribe →It's Early Days of Her YouTube Journey, Where Should She Start? 1-Hour with Career Coach Mandy
Apr 1401:08:26Tap to summarizeWelcome to another episode of the 1-Hour Coaching Session series. Today, we meet Amanda, an eldest daughter who has dutifully built a career as a project manager in clinical trial operations. Of course, she has many deep and creative gifts, and is drawn to the world of self-improvement on social media. Her message? That we can make our lives better, and that everyone is special in their own unique way -- and that we need more "normal" people on social media. Love this. In this conversation, we talk about becoming a creator, navigating TikTok and YouTube, and creating content even when we feel like "it's been said before." Thank you so much to Amanda, one of my YouTube members, who volunteered to be featured in this session. Follow Amanda HERE: / @manda._.maniaa xo Mandy
Transcribe →1-Hour Coaching Session: What Do I Do Next, As a Biomedical Engineer Fellow + Dancer/Model?
Apr 1401:13:45Tap to summarizeLife moves at you fast! Meet Melissa, one of my YouTube members, who volunteered to do a 1-hour coaching session. After years of dedicating herself to biomedical engineering and STEM, Melissa is at a crossroads: does she continue on this path, even though it is uncertain and not living up to its promise of stability -- or does she pursue something in the arts that makes her feel more alive? Melissa already has a history in the arts: as a dancer, she's spent years learning how to move her body and be connected to her senses, which has informed her work as an actor and model. Should she pivot into a career in fashion, and if so, what can she do to make sure she's actually creative? And why does it feel so hard to pivot after we've spent so long paying our dues?
