EPISODE 9: THE POWER OF INTENTIONAL MOVES IN CAREER BUILDING
INTRODUCTION
This is it, the bold finale of Season One.
If your career’s been feeling foggy, you’re halfway through a pivot, or you’re just pretending to be busy while low-key spiralling, this one’s for you.
In Episode 9 Caroline shines a spotlight on drift - the quiet career killer that shows up when you’re doing the tasks but losing direction. It’s not about laziness. It’s about choice overload, burnout, and pretending you’re fine when you’re very much not.
The antidote is your tiny, deliberate moves. The kind that don’t look fancy but add up to everything.
