104. Series Finale: Why I’m (Lovingly) Closing Down My Podcast and Biz
I have bittersweet news: I am (lovingly) closing down my podcast and business! "Lovingly" - because I have LOVED working on this project, serving my career coaching clients, and meeting my listeners and followers over the last 3+ years! I am PROUD of this body of work and it will continue to exist on the internet to help more people in the future. In this final episode, I explain the rationale behind this personal decision and how I made it. I talk about how my core values have changed, the key questions I asked myself when I made this decision, the "warning signs" that helped me understand that it was time for a change, and why I am ready to divest myself from grind & hustle culture. Thank you for being a part of this journey! Xo, Priscilla -- Connect with me on Email me:

102. Why You Think It’s Greedy To Negotiate For More Money, with Joan Moon
Are You Afraid to Ask for More Money? You are not alone. I chat with negotiation coach Joan Moon to explore why this fear is so widespread. We delve into how gender bias and societal expectations can make advocating for our financial worth feel uncomfortable. The conversation goes further, examining the intersection of gender and race. Women of color, in particular, face unique challenges in salary negotiations due to stereotypes and cultural barriers. The episode highlights the need to update societal norms and acknowledges the challenges women face. But it's not all doom and gloom! We aim to empower you to confidently negotiate for your worth without the fear of being perceived negatively.

Are you struggling to land interviews? Or, are you getting invited to the first round - only to later bomb the interview, and feel like you're not answering their questions correctly? If this is happening to you, you might be shooting your shot TOO HIGH. As of November 2023, we're in an employer-led market. That means there are MORE job-seekers than there are job postings or roles available. This means that employers can choose from the BEST of the BEST when it comes to their interview slates. They're not incentivized to "take a chance" on someone who doesn't quite meet the requirements or even the "desired qualifications." This is why we're seeing overqualified people get hired for jobs right now! If you want to start getting invited to more interviews, and start feeling more confident in your interviews, tune into today's episode and learn how to avoid this mistake. -- Ready to stop feeling confused about the job search?

89. How To Own Your Past Career Decisions and Move Forward
Do you live with a lot of regret about your career past? Do you often blame external circumstances for not being where you want to be today in your career? Do you often shame yourself for making the "wrong" moves in your career? If any of these are standard stories that you repeat to yourself over and over again, you MUST listen to today's episode. When we tell the story of our past using this kind of regret language, we end up disempowered, and it's incredibly difficult to move forward. On this episode, I dive into why it's important to re-frame your career past as a series of decisions that you can fully OWN and feel good about. Yes, that's possible! I even share some of my own past career decisions and how I've reframed them to work for me. I also share an exercise that I ask my clients to do when they are carrying a painful story about their career past, because we CANNOT move forward without removing that heavy bag. If you suffer with these stories about your past, tune in and do this exercise BEFORE launching into your next career move. - (1 hour) Interested in working with Priscilla 1:1?

81. Are You Showing & Telling Your Career Personal Brand?
If you HATE talking about yourself at work or in interview settings, and you're still NOT satisfied with your career, this episode is for you. Today I'm going to talk about the 2 different types of career personal branding: SHOWING and TELLING. Are you doing both, neither, or just one? Most of us feel more comfortable "showing" and not "telling." We don't want to promote ourselves and use our voice. We want to "show" people about ourselves through our actions, results, and experiences. Unfortunately, that's not enough because you are expecting people to connect the dots for you and/or read your mind. It also shows up as HIDING in your career, leaving people NOT knowing about you and your unique gifts. When you say you don't want to talk about yourself, you are actually silencing yourself. Tune into this episode to learn more about the 2 different forms of career personal branding (showing and telling) with specific examples and how you can stop hiding in your career. -- (1 hour) Get Priscilla's FREE "Jumpstart Your Job Search" Course .

80. Why You Need A Personal Brand, Boo!
We all have brands that we love. Maybe it's Nike, Apple, or Starbucks. We also have people whose brands we love - influencers, celebrities, and musicians. We don't even know these people, and yet we love them, pay money to see them, and trust them. Well guess what? You ALSO have a personal brand that you emit (like body odor) every single day. And, you have a personal brand whether you know it or not. WE ALL DO! So, why don't you make sure that your personal brand is working in YOUR favor and not against you? Tune into this episode to learn more about why you need a personal brand, and how I define it. You'll walk away with a way better understanding of the value of a brand. -- (1 hour) Interested in working with Priscilla 1:1? Sign up for a FREE 1-Hour Consult .

79. I Love The 70's, 80's, 90's, Job Search Edition
Do you remember when vh1 used to have those decade nostalgia shows, "I Love the 80's" and "I Love the 90's"? Well, I decided to do a little internet sleuthing & researching, and make my own version of "I Love the X's": Job Search Edition. Yes, it's a little corny but I wanted to do a fun episode for y'all! I ended up learning some really interesting things like, did you know it was OK to light up a cigarette during an interview in the 70's? Sure was. No, but seriously, on this episode, I explain how we got to the modern day job search as we know it today and how some things seem to never change - with cyclical recessions, boom economies, and competitive job markets. I also talk about how THE internet blew up the job search proces, giving us both massive rejection heartache AND a massive opportunity - we just need to know how to use it! -- Register for the "How To Use Your Personal Brand In Your Job Search" Workshop on Saturday January 21st at 12 pm CST.

78. Is The Customer Success Manager Role For You?, with Erica Coleman
Are you a people person? Do you like tech? Are you into data? Then, the Customer Success Manager role might be the perfect next career move for you. Even though this job didn't exist 10 years ago, it's now one of the fastest growing career paths in tech (particularly in Software-as-a-Service), and it's not going anywhere. It's also one of those career paths that you can pivot into fairly easily with a strong set of transferable skills and without getting a new degree. On today's episode, experienced CSM Erica Coleman talks about the CSM role, why it's a GREAT fit for former teachers, and the type of strengths needed to succeed in this role. We also talk about what CSM is NOT - it's not customer service and it's not a sales role. -- Register for the "How To Use Your Personal Brand In Your Job Search" Workshop on Saturday January 21st at 12 pm CST.

77. Why You Procrastinate During Your Job Search and How It Holds You Back
Is procrastination killing your dreams? Do you keep telling yourself that you "should" start working on your job search, only to end up spending hours on TikTok, Netflix or literally anything else? Weeks go by, then months, and you're no closer to your career change goal. If this is you, it's only because of a feeling you are trying to avoid in the moment. The problem is that while you might avoid temporary discomfort, you prolong your long-term discomfort and create even MORE costs for you down the road. In this episode, I explain how powerful it is to understand the "Think-Feel-Act" cycle and slightly tweak your thoughts so that you actually get sh* done. I also share some simple strategies to make it more likely for you to take action. -- Register for the "How To Use Your Personal Brand In Your Job Search" Workshop on Saturday January 21st at 12 pm CST.
