Are you stuck in a job that drains you — counting down the days to the weekend and secretly wishing for something better? In this episode, I chat with Sasha Sidel, a career coach and graduate of Thriving Coach Academy, who knows exactly what it’s like to feel stuck and crave more.

After pivoting from retail management to a thriving role in HR, Sasha now helps professionals break free from “safe” but soul-sucking paths and step into careers they truly love.

Together we uncover the biggest myths keeping people trapped — like the belief that following your passion is “unrealistic,” that a bad job market means you’re doomed, or that a perfect résumé alone will land the dream job.

Sasha shows why mindset and self-belief often matter more than credentials, and how saying yes to unexpected opportunities can change everything.

This episode is also a behind-the-scenes look at how one student took the training from Thriving Coach Academy and turned them into a thriving business.

If you’ve ever wondered whether it’s really possible to reinvent your career and create work you’re excited to wake up for, this conversation will give you fresh perspective, practical tips, and the inspiration to finally make your move.
