Lately I’ve been leaning into something that feels like a true calling for me.


Beyond website design and web accessibility, I’ve realized how much I genuinely enjoy helping people navigate their career journeys, especially those in transition or looking for a fresh start.

Over the past few months, I’ve had more conversations about careers, direction, and next steps than ever before… and it’s been enriching. It’s made me start exploring the idea of becoming a career coach more formally.

If you’re already a career coach or work in a similar space, I’d love to connect, learn from your experience, and hear any insights or advice you’re willing to share.

And for anyone on the job hunt or thinking about a transition: my door is always open. Happy to support however I can. 🙌

For all my friends and network searching for a new job, this post is for you. Thanks Robyn.

Amen.

Your Favorite Recruiter, Career Strategist, Coach & Author | Check out my website for free resources including my newsletter 👇

Today I’m praying for every person who is searching, waiting, and wondering “When will it be my turn?”

For the one who has been laid off…

For the one sending applications into what feels like a black hole…

For the one getting close, then hearing “we went in another direction”…

For the one battling doubt, fear, and exhaustion…

Please remember:

You are not your job title, paycheck, or current status.

Your value is unchanged. Your gifts are still needed. Your story is still unfolding.

God, give them strength to keep showing up… even when the rejections pile up.

Give them discernment to spot scams, empty promises, and roles that are not aligned with who they are.

Give them peace in the waiting, in the silence, in the “no’s” that are actually protection and redirection.

Open the right doors with the right people at the right time.

Close the ones that would drain their spirit or dim their light.

Surround them with people who speak life into them, who remind them of their strengths when they forget, and who will celebrate loudly when their YES finally arrives.

For every jobseeker reading this, I pray for clarity, courage, and confidence… to advocate for yourself, to rest when you’re tired, and to believe that a better chapter is ahead, even when you can’t see it yet.

Your YES is coming.

May you feel that hope in your heart today.

Amen. 🙏

If you’re in the job search right now, save this post for encouragement and drop a 🙏 or share your target role in the comments so I can keep you in my prayers this week continue to encourage you throughout your journey.

Happy Sunday, my friends. A few months ago, I shared a simple way to support those who have been laid off, and it remains true today.  

When someone is job hunting, it’s a challenging process. It can feel isolating.  

But small actions can make a big difference.  

Take a few minutes. Reach out.  

Write a LinkedIn recommendation or endorse their skills. It boosts their profile.  

Think about your network. Make an introduction to someone who’s hiring or could offer advice.  

I’ve seen these little acts turn into new opportunities.  

Remember, we all start somewhere.  

Supporting each other builds a stronger community.  

What’s one thing you’ve done to help someone recently?
  
Let’s keep the momentum going. Together, we can lift each other.  

End the week with kindness and action. It matters.

Thriving in chaos: How my ADHD fuels my ability to support others.

Living with ADHD isn't always a walk in the park. Our minds buzz with a thousand thoughts, ideas, and tasks, often all at once. It's like a symphony playing at triple the pace, chaotic, yet fascinating.

But here’s the truth: this chaos becomes my superpower. When everything feels overwhelming, I learn to prioritize what truly matters. I have developed the ability to switch focus quickly, adapt on the fly, and think creatively.

Of course, it’s not always smooth. Distractions can derail progress. However, I’ve turned those moments into opportunities for creative problem-solving.

Supporting others with this mindset means understanding that resilience and agility matter. It’s about embracing chaos and harnessing it for growth, rather than fighting it. Do you agree? 

What’s your take? How does your perspective turn chaos into opportunity?

#ADHD

Happy Thanksgiving post. 

I’m thankful for today: family, friends, my great network, food, and football. 

But stepping away from the traditional, there's something else I'm immensely grateful for: my unique ability to juggle multiple tasks, thanks to my ADHD. It's not often seen as a gift, but it's time we shed light on the unconventional blessings in our lives. 

Remember, what sets you apart can be your strength. On this day of gratitude, let's celebrate every facet of ourselves. Now, I challenge you: What’s the unconventional blessing you're thankful for today?

Such great advice. Thank you for posting Robyn Punko

I was talking to a jobseeker today and they asked me a question I wish more people would ask: “What can I do to help other jobseekers?”

First of all… I love this! 💜
Second… you have so much more power than you think.

The bonus? When you help other jobseekers, you ALSO help your own visibility, reputation, and network. 

Let’s talk about how. 

Don’t just scroll… like and comment.
A like is a quiet “I see you.”
A comment is “I’m standing with you.”
Do both and you:
Boost THEIR post in the algorithm
Put YOUR name + face in front of their network (and sometimes recruiters 👀)

Comments don’t have to be fancy: “I’m rooting for you.” “Thank you for sharing this.” “I relate to this so much.” 

And here’s the secret most people forget: More substantial comments show people more about you… your values, your experience, how you think.

“I’m rooting for you, I went through something similar last year…”

“Thank you for sharing this, here’s what helped me when I was in this spot…”

Short. Human. A little bit of story. That’s how people remember you.

Honestly? Some days I get more impressions from thoughtful comments I leave on other people’s posts than I do on my own content. Your comments travel.

Hit repost, it’s a free referral: When you repost someone’s “I’m job searching” update or a role they’re excited about, you extend their reach into entirely new circles. Show your network you’re someone who lifts others up. That’s the kind of thing people remember when they’re hiring.

Tag like a connector 🔗 See a role that fits someone you know? Tag them. Know a recruiter who hires in their space? Tag them too. You become the bridge between opportunity and talent… and connectors are rarely forgotten.

Refer when you can: If your company has a role that fits someone you trust: Share the link. Offer to refer them. Send their resume to the right person.
Referrals change lives and yes, people notice who consistently shows up for others.

Celebrate everyone’s wins! 🎉New job? First interview in months? Final round after a long dry spell? 

Drop a “CONGRATS!!” Leave some 🎉💜🙌 Share their win and say, “More of this, please.” You’re telling the algorithm and your network: “This is the energy I believe in.”

If you’re still waiting on your own “YES,” it can feel like you have nothing to give. But you do.

Your like. Your comment. Your share. Your tag. Your referral.

Any one of those could be the thing that keeps someone going one more day and while you’re helping them be seen, you’re quietly building your brand.

Generous. Supportive. Community-minded. 
The kind of person people want on their team. 

If you’re committed to lifting up at least one other jobseeker this week, drop a 💜 in the comments so they know they’re not alone and repost this so others know how they can help.

Have you wondered how a hobby can turn into a full-time career? There are many pathways to actualize this, but let's delve into a few key strategies. 

1. Identify the Value: Determine what's unique about your hobby that can be monetized. Is it a rare skill? Can it solve a problem? 

2. Education: Home in on your craft. Take courses, read books, and strive to learn everything you can about your passion.

3. Network: Connect with others in the field. Attend events, join online communities, and don't shy away from asking for guidance.

4. Start Small: Launch your career as a side hustle first. It's low risk, and you'll get valuable feedback to help fine-tune your venture.

Your hobby could be your life's work. It’s uncharted territory, and that’s the beauty of it. Ready to embark on the journey? Dream big, start small, but most importantly, start now.

Hey friends, I’m looking to chat with folks who’ve transitioned out of the college athletics world (coaches, SIDs, ADs, operations staff, etc.).

I recently created a Facebook page called “Hope for Hard Days” :  a place filled with encouragement, scripture, and daily reminders that even in the most challenging moments, there is still hope, still purpose, and still light ahead.

How do you embrace your ADHD chaos? 

This isn't about denying the struggle; it's about finding beauty in the disorder.

Some of my most creative ideas have emerged during those bursts of frenetic energy. It's like a surge of inspiration that propels me into uncharted territories.

I’ve learned to harness these moments, turning potential chaos into productivity. I focus on tasks that align with my passions, channeling that energy where it's needed most.

Planning and structure help, but they’re not my only tools. I lean into flexible schedules and embrace change. It’s about turning what could be a hindrance into a unique strength.

How do you transform your challenges into advantages?

I had a fantastic conversation earlier this week with Jessica Poole 

I walked away with a ton of insight into where college athletics is headed, especially around NIL, athlete education, and the industry's evolving structure.

I loved her energy, passion, and knowledge. Jessica shared how her consulting business is helping nonprofits, companies, and especially parents of youth athletes better understand the constantly changing NIL landscape. 

One thing she emphasized: education is everything.
Parents and athletes are receiving mixed messages, and getting the fundamentals right: finances, taxes, branding, and long-term planning, matters more than ever.

A few takeaways that really stood out:

🔹 NIL is becoming an entry point to entrepreneurship. Student-athletes are learning skills that translate directly into marketing, business ownership, and life after sports.

🔹 Financial literacy is critical. Taxes aren’t optional, and many athletes aren’t prepared. Jessica talked about how schools and advisors can do a better job of preparing athletes and families early.

🔹 SIDs and administrators have incredible transferable skills. Communication, crisis management, budgeting, and leadership: these translate directly into consulting, operations, HR, and more. Jessica encouraged SIDs not to sell themselves short and to explore opportunities beyond traditional roles.

It was refreshing to talk to someone who not only understands the heart of college athletics but also sees clearly where things are heading. I loved our conversation. 

If you’re working in college athletics: coaching, SID, admin, ops, or navigating NIL with your athletes or family, Jessica is absolutely someone worth learning from.

Fuel up this Saturday! Let's not limit ourselves to the prescribed script. 

Sprinkle some spontaneity into your life! Veer off the planned path and explore the unknown. It could be as simple as trying a new hobby or as significant as learning a new skill; unpredictability can spark creativity, my friends.

Living with ADHD, I've learned that routines can be comforting, but breaking away from them occasionally offers a refreshing perspective. This enriches our professional life, opening up a plethora of opportunities that reside outside our comfort zones. 

So, this Saturday, how about we shake things up a bit? Dive into that project you've been avoiding, take a course on web design, or perhaps, read up on a project you’ve wanted to do around the house.

Now comes the fun part, share your experience with us! What were the challenges you faced? What did you learn? Remember, it's about growth, not perfection. 

Let's fuel up this Saturday, and as always, be awesome!

Job loss is not just headlines; it's a reality many face. 

Each day, the 'layoff' wave seems to grow, tightening the knot in our stomachs. 

We're in this together, more than ever. 

You may be familiar with my thoughts through my frequent posts and know my penchant for helping others. 

What if we could change the narrative? 

Swap 'layoff' fear for 'skill' focus?

Let's transform this into an opportunity. To learn, to re-skill, to adapt to this new normal.

Because when we stop fearing change and start embracing it - that's when magic happens.

Ready to make magic?
