Imagine walking away from your childhood dream of becoming a lawyer or a backup dancer, only to find your true calling in the unexpected world of career recruitment. That’s exactly what happened to my friend Jen Warrington. In our latest podcast episode, Jen shares her remarkable journey from law aspirations to recruitment consultancy, highlighting how her path evolved through a chance encounter with a recruitment agency. Together, we unravel how aligning your career with your passions can lead to growth and success, even if it means charting a non-traditional course.
Ever felt held back by the belief that you need to tick every box on a job description before applying? You’re not alone, and we’re here to challenge that mindset. Jen and I explore common barriers women face at work, particularly around confidence and self-worth. We discuss strategies to confidently claim your worth, negotiate salaries, and embrace your unique strengths, paving the way for bold career moves. Our conversation aims to empower, reminding you that perfection is a myth and encouraging you to seize opportunities that align with who you really are.
Tune in for an episode full of candid stories, practical advice, and a celebration of your magic.

"Disney World might be the happiest place on earth but The Self(ish) Retreat is one of the safest places on earth to share your true self. All parts of you are welcome at the Self(ish) Retreat. It's an opportunity to make new friends and bond on a deeper level with old (and new) friends. You're guaranteed to learn something new about yourself. Jess takes care of all the details of the weekend so you can focus on turning inward and getting what you need out of the retreat."
"You NEED to work with Jess. No question. In the 4 months I have been working with Jess so far, my business and I have grown EXPONENTIALLY. Four months ago, I was just talking about the idea that I might start a business, and now I have left a career that wasn’t aligned for me, committed to the adventure of a lifetime, found my niche, launched my business, and rediscovered WHO I AM in the process. I promise you, YOU WILL NOT REGRET choosing 1:1 coaching with this powerhouse woman. Just make sure that you are ready to GROW more than you thought possible."
