I’m bringing one of my most popular series from social media to the podcast: problematic career cheat codes! Problematic, because some of them might not be like 100% ethical, but they’re cheat codes because they work! And let’s be real: everyone who’s getting ahead is already doing this.

In this episode, we’re covering when you should fib about your age, why it’s okay to do a little exaggerating about some things, and how to use your favorite candy to get ahead.

If you’re looking for a job right now, you need this episode.

• [00:00] Intro

• [01:13] What you should fib about when applying for jobs

• [08:15] Why you should keep a list of your wins, even if they’re seemingly small

When it comes to building a personal brand, we have to portray ourselves in a particular way: expert, authentic, personal, energetic, etc.

But this sometimes leaves out the stickier details: what we struggle with, difficulties we had to face, all the moments we questioned ourselves.

So today, I’m pulling back the curtain. I’m laying out my backstory for you, good, bad, and uncomfortable. I’m covering a cheerleading career, my mental breakdown, my yoga mat business, and the way I eventually had to re-evaluate some of my strongest held beliefs.

I’m not holding back, and I hope it’s encouraging that you can both achieve your goals no matter how crazy it seems, and that you can overcome huge setbacks even when they challenge everything you thought you knew. Let’s dive in!

What’s in this episode:

• [00:00] Intro

• [01:08] Courtney’s early life and moves from Minnesota to Texas

• [05:36] Courtney’s cheerleading ambitions and her life as she strived to reach her goals

• [14:54] The crisis that forced Courtney to step back from cheerleading

• [19:00] How Courtney started her pivot toward marketing and the corporate jobs she worked

• [23:09] Courtney’s first foray into owning her own business

• [29:00] How Courtney continued to branch out in her businesses through AirBnB and consulting

• [31:58] How Courtney started building her personal brand on TikTok

• [34:50] Why (and how) Courtney started her online business

• [40:03] What’s next for Courtney

Today’s guest calls herself “anti-feminist.” Before you throw your Airpods across the room, stick with me.

This conversation isn’t about denigrating women – it’s the exact opposite. Instead of encouraging women to play the masculine game, Morgan May wants women to embrace their feminine power and use it to their advantage.

In this episode, Morgan and I chat about all things feminine power: how to tap into it, what’s keeping us from using it, why society discourages us from using our feminine power, and how all of this can give us a leg up when it comes to business.

This is one conversation you cannot miss. Let’s dive in!

What’s in this episode:

• [00:00] Intro

• [00:33] The unconventional investment in herself that helped Courtney jumpstart her career

• [06:00] How leaning into your feminine power can benefit your career

• [11:57] Why understanding and reclaiming your cycle can help you tap into your feminine energy

• [15:47] The scientific data that proving how powerful feminine energy can be

• [22:29] An invitation to take a look at the tools in your life – and consider whether or not they still serve you

• [29:38] Why it’s time to start thinking about yourself the way you think about your business

When I first met Vision, I wasn’t sure about him or his “games.” I was a serious career girl who didn’t have time for that stuff. But Vision’s games aren’t about child’s play – they’re a powerful tool for exploring the life you actually want for yourself, and then turning it into reality.

Today on the podcast, Vision is un-gatekeeping manifestation for us, as he explains how our minds and the words we use can shape our reality, how to explore a reality we actually enjoy, and why we’re probably overlooking some really basic manifestation cheat codes at our fingertips.

If you’ve wanted to make a change and just can’t figure out how to take that next step, you need to listen to this episode today.

Plus, a big thanks to Simmer for sponsoring this episode! Never ask “What’s for dinner?!” again with Simmer!

What’s in this episode:

• [00:00] Intro

• [01:54] How “games” can help us begin the process of manifesting

• [06:39] How our mindset creates the distinction between work and play

• [15:30] How changing the language we use in certain situations can empower us (or have the opposite effect)

• [21:10] How to start actualizing your dreams right now

• [27:48] Why using a calendar is one of the biggest and most obvious cheat codes for manifestation (and why you’re probably not using it to its full potential right now)

• [31:22] Why you should never underestimate the power of changing your language
