Episode #93: Navigating A Layoff & Creating The Career Of Your Dreams With Emily Eliza Moyer

PODCAST BLOG PHOTO (59).png

As a worldwide community, when we recorded this, almost 17 million people have experienced a layoff in their jobs as a result of this pandemic. A number which BLEW MY F*CKING MIND and which is wildly unprecedented in the history of the working world.

I never thought I’d have a career strategist on the podcast. We all have jobs so how is that taboo at all? And yet isn’t that the VERY reason it is? We face so many job hardships, and in many ways, our jobs often reflect a big piece of our identities or our daily stressors, and we never f*cking talk about it.

So, today, on the podcast, we’re doing just that. And doing it with the only person I could have imagined having on around this topic, the brilliant and soulful Emily Eliza Moyer.

Emily Eliza Moyer is an Intuitive Career Strategist who teaches unhappy professional women how to heal old wounds, uncover their purpose, and craft strategic career plans so they can build careers they absolutely love.  She shares her transformative approach via 1:1 and group coaching, free workshops and educational content featured on instagram, LinkedIn and through media outlets such as NBC News, Forbes, and The Muse.


Things we talk about in today’s episode:

  • How our careers define our lives, for better or worse

  • What the f*ck to do when we are laid off

  • Work trauma, and how work struggles can impact our mental health and sense of self

  • How entrepreneurship/non traditional work spaces aren’t necessarily the answer

  • How the hell to find your purpose

  • The key to knowing how to make decisions with career, life etc.

  • What the economy is showing around “job security” and how to cultivate security in your life

  • Actionable tools to support yourself in this wild time, fear of failure, unemployment, hilarious jobs we’ve had, ridiculous sex stories and beyond

What do the most superlative brands , the world’s most renowned stages , and the most prestigious conferences have in common? They’ re bringing in the one and only Jade Simmons! Jade spent the first few years of her career performing as a classical concert pianist. Following an artistic epiphany, she pivoted from playing the piano to impress audiences , to using the piano as the vehicle by which to provide the inspiration, information and entertainment that profoundly moves them instead.

As one of the rare classical artists invited to perform at the taste-making South by Southwest Festival, her show was ultimately branded one of the "Best of SXSW 2014". She’s star red in a Broadway-style musical called Lillette’ s Rhythm Club and she can be heard portraying Nina Simone’s classical years in the Oscar -nominated documentary What Happened Miss Simone?

In her inimitable career as a concert pianist and as a media host, Jade has remained committed to expanding the boundaries of Classical music and is the new host of shows for both American Public Media and NYC’ s top rated station WQXR, airing in 2019.

PODCAST BLOG PHOTO (15).png

EPISODE SNEAK PEEK

“You can do any job for the rest of your life. But if you are not happy. If you are not fueled in your relationships. If you are not feeling like a health, happy and alive version of yourself, what is the f*cking point?”

This is a long time coming request for an episode that I’m SO freaking excited to share with you all. So many of you ask me how I started my business, had the courage to quit my day jobs and dive into entrepreneurship and how I make it work.

So today, I dish.

The good, the bad, the unexpected and all the in betweens.

‘Cause the entrepreneur life is a MF rollercoaster. It has opened up so many incredible doors for my life and I could not imagine living my life any other way now that I’m in it, but there were years when I thought it for sure wasn’t for me (and still days where I just wanna throw my hands up in the air and go f*ck it, I’m done).

But the honest truth of it is? This path has helped me uncover my purpose in life and today, I share my story and the jumping off pieces that you can use in your own life to figure out WTF your purpose (or multiple purposes? plural? who knows?) are on this planet.

You ready? Here we go.

Episode #29: LYFYL Pep Talk Series | The True Path to Success

PODCAST BLOG PHOTO (22).png

For the longest time, I felt like I needed to be "successful" to be worthy. And thus, to be HAPPY.

This week has been a bit surreal for me — I’ve come back from a trip that was breathtakingly beautiful and adventure filled, to getting this incredible book in the mail that I had the honor of being a contributor for.

And I had a moment of imposter syndrome. Of “who am I to be able to have a life like this?” Where my job allows me to travel and work from wherever and the connections I’ve made have led me to be able to share my story and heart in ways I never imagined possible, like having my work published. 

And all of the “reasons” to feel worthy that I used to feel like I needed to be “successful” were staring me straight in the face but instead, I felt like a total FAKE.

I dive into this moment and so much more on today's episode of the pod!
