In this episode of Passion, Purpose, and Paychecks, I’m inviting you into a conversation about something we use every day but rarely think about with intention: the way we introduce ourselves. Whether I’m coaching a student, meeting a new colleague, or stepping into a room filled with possibility, I’ve learned that a confident introduction can open doors long before a résumé ever does.

I’m sharing a simple, powerful framework created by Sunil Ramlochan called Name, Same, Fame, Aim, Game — a beautifully structured guide that helps you speak about who you are with clarity and purpose. This model has quickly become one of my favorite tools to teach, because it gives you a roadmap for telling your story without shrinking, stumbling, or overthinking.

If you’ve ever struggled to explain what you do, felt nervous saying your title out loud, or worried about taking up space in professional settings, this episode will help you find a version of your pitch that feels grounded, authentic, and fully yours.

Join me as we explore how to introduce ourselves with confidence, how to shape our stories into something both simple and powerful, and how a thoughtful pitch can help us step more boldly into the spaces and opportunities aligned with our purpose.

In this week’s episode of Passion, Purpose, and Paychecks, I’m breaking down something many job seekers don’t think about nearly enough: your body language. Before you ever answer a single question, your body is already speaking on your behalf — and sometimes it’s telling a story you didn’t mean to tell!

I’ll never forget the day I realized my LinkedIn profile looked successful — but my life didn’t feel that way. I had the titles, the certifications, the highlights… but something was missing. That moment led me to discover the power of Life Design, a framework that helped me shift from living in reaction mode to creating my days with purpose and intention.

In this episode, I’m sharing what it means to truly design your life, not just your LinkedIn. You’ll hear how I began redesigning my own days using curiosity, reframing, and small “prototypes” that helped me test what really worked for me. I’ll walk you through three simple tools you can use this week to start moving from burnout to balance — and from reaction to creation.

Because your résumé might show what you’ve done, but your life should reflect who you’re becoming.
