76. Putting the Year to Bed + Our January Intensive Begins Today 01/05/2026

76. Putting the Year to Bed + Our January Intensive Begins Today Episode 76: Putting the Year to Bed | The January Intensive Begins The Career Clinic Podcast Host: Ronnie Dickerson Stewart Episode Overview Welcome to Episode 76 and the official kickoff of The Career Clinic January Intensive. This episode sets the foundation for the month ahead and invites you to do something most people skip entirely: pause long enough to actually process the year you just lived. January often rushes us straight into fixing, planning, and performing. But before we build new systems or set new intentions, we need space to reflect, extract truth, and close the year with intention. This episode guides you through a simple but powerful audit designed to help you clear cognitive debt, ground yourself, and move forward with clarity rather than reactivity. Think of this month as being in daily community with me—less than 30 minutes a day, real tools, real reflection, and support for you as a whole human. What You’ll Learn in This Episode: ✔️ Why processing must come before planning ✔️ How to avoid carrying unfinished emotional and cognitive “tabs” into a new year ✔️ Why reflection creates steadiness in seasons of change ✔️ How this January Intensive will build week by week ✔️ A client-tested reflection tool you can use in under 10 minutes The Four Reflection Questions from This Episode ✍🏾 Take your time with these. Pause the episode, write them down, and answer them honestly. What were your most trying or friction-filled moments of 2025? What brought you the most joy or ease in 2025? Where or when did you feel most like yourself in 2025? What is the most significant or consequential lesson you learned in 2025?

Email us at Final Thought Not properly closing a year you couldn’t wait to leave is like leaving a document downloading forever in the background. It drains energy, clouds clarity, and creates unnecessary cognitive debt. This month is your invitation to pause, reflect, and reset — with intention, support, and community. I’ll see you tomorrow. 🤎 /episode/index/show/ohheycoachcareerclinic/id/39610955

With the business landscape shifting rapidly—record reorgs, layoffs, and strategic pivots—it’s never been more critical to take full ownership of your career and ensure you’re set up for long-term success. Your job? It’s a situationship. And whether you’ve accepted that truth or not, the key to stability is realizing that you work for YOU, Inc.

69. Are They Playing In Your Face? Here's How To Tell 01/23/2025

68. Reminder (Again) Your Job Is A Situationship 01/08/2025

68. Reminder (Again) Your Job Is A Situationship Episode 68. Reminder: Your Job is a Situationship – And That’s Okay Episode Summary: Welcome to another episode of The Career Clinic Podcast! Today, I’m bringing you a timely reminder: Your job is a situationship—and that’s okay. This topic is near and dear to my heart because the way we view and engage with work has a profound impact on how we navigate our lives. As we enter a year full of cultural shifts, economic changes, and organizational pivots, it’s more important than ever to step back, take a breath, and get clear about the nature of our work relationships. Companies invite us into their missions—not to build around ours. And while they may care about their people, their ultimate focus is their bottom line and impact. This reality doesn’t make them “bad,” but it does call for us to remain clear-headed and intentional about how we engage. In this episode, I break down why jobs are situational partnerships, how to balance your goals with the needs of your employer, and what it looks like to show up as the CEO of “You Inc.” This isn’t about demonizing work or companies—it’s about reminding you to protect your agency, set boundaries, and align your work with the life you want to live. What You’ll Learn in This Episode: Why your job is a partnership, not your identity. How companies invite you into their mission but rarely ask about your goals—and what that means for your career strategy. The importance of reading the seasons and rhythms of organizations to make empowered career decisions. Why it’s critical to start every role with clarity about where your interests overlap and where they don’t. Key Takeaways: Your job is one chapter in your life’s book—not the whole story. Companies have their own goals and intentions. Your challenge is to align with them while staying true to your own mission. Be intentional about what you give and take from any work relationship—and always know when it’s time to pivot. Key Quote: "Every role and every job is a partnership—a situationship. Be intentional about the value you bring and the value you extract. And don’t lose sight of the bigger picture: your life, your goals, and your agency."
