Fix Your Broken Job Search: Why the Job Market Feels Impossible Right Now

#164 - Everywhere you look, someone has applied to 300 jobs and heard nothing back, or has been searching for two years with a strong resume and all the right qualifications. So you sit in a job that's draining you, wondering whether it even makes sense to try. In this episode, Dr. Tega breaks down the five reasons the job market genuinely is harder right now, and then explains why the market still isn't the reason you're not getting hired. You'll learn what's actually behind the silence on your applications, why the approach most people double down on has never worked, and the shift that consistently gets mid-career women hired instead. Whether you've been quietly applying for months or you've been too discouraged to start, this episode will show you where to put your energy so the market stops feeling impossible.

Fix Your Broken Job Search: Can You Actually Get Paid Well AND Like Your Job?

#163 - If you've been unhappy in your job for years but you stay because the money is good, you've probably told yourself the same thing most mid-career women do. That you can either enjoy your work or get paid well, but you can't have both. In this episode, Dr. Tega unpacks where that belief actually comes from, and why it's quietly keeping you stuck in a job that's draining you. You'll learn the three messages that taught you to choose between meaning and money, what your life actually looks like when you have work you enjoy AND a paycheck you're proud of, and the first two steps to making that your reality. Whether you're single and carrying every bill yourself or supporting a whole family, this episode will help you stop settling for other people's version of what's possible.
