    When Jazz came to me, she wasn’t looking to completely reinvent her career, but she was ready for a change. As a business owner, she felt like the spark had dimmed a little, and she wanted clarity on her next chapter.

    Over six months together, we dug into what truly lights her up, refined the vision for her business, and mapped out the steps to bring it to life. Today, Jazz feels inspired, creative, and excited about where she’s headed, and she’s actively building this new chapter right now.

    In this episode, Jazz shares her journey of shifting her business focus, finding fresh joy in her work, and tapping back into the creativity that fuels her.

    If you’ve ever felt “stuck” in your own business or career and craved that sense of excitement again, you’ll love this conversation.

    Enjoy!

  • E67. How to say 'no' at work - and make your boss love you more. (Boundary setting 2.0)
    Apr 17 2025

    Schedule a call to explore working with me⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.

    Reach out on⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠LinkedIn⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ or email me at maartje@yourspacetothink.com & share how this episode landed with you!

    -----------------------------------------

    If you're feeling overloaded at work, and the thought of one more request makes your chest tighten…
    The first thing that needs to happen is this:
    Give yourself permission to say no—in a way that gains you respect, not resentment.

    Saying no doesn’t have to mean shutting the door or burning bridges.
    It can sound like collaboration.
    It can sound like leadership.
    It can sound like: “Here’s what I’m working on—what would you like me to deprioritize so I can give this new task the attention it deserves?”

    We’re often taught to equate saying yes with being valuable.
    Especially as women, we’re conditioned to be helpful, humble, and accommodating—even when it stretches us way too thin.
    But in this episode, I want to have an honest coffee date with you about what real value looks like.
    Because constantly saying yes doesn’t make you a team player.
    It makes you a ticking time bomb.

    We’ll talk about the scripts, the mindset, and the strategy behind a powerful “no”—one that actually builds trust with your boss and reinforces your professionalism.

    And at the end, I’ll guide you through a simple exercise to craft your own respectful “no” that keeps your boundaries intact and your reputation strong.

    I hope you enjoy—and I hope you give yourself permission to be both kind and firm.

  • E66. Sabrina's Career Pivot - Building your resume like a Billboard (when you have a wealth of experience and don't know where to start)
    Apr 8 2025

    Schedule a call to explore working with me⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.

    Reach out on⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠LinkedIn⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ or email me at maartje@yourspacetothink.com & share how this episode landed with you!

    -----------------------------------------

    When Sabrina reached out to see if I could help her update her resume, I got excited. I had chatted with Sabrina as neighbours and knew that she had an incredibly interesting career path - what a joy to help her build it into a door-opening resume!

    Like many of you, she has a wealth of experience working in several different roles and industries. The big question is: how do you bring that work experience down to one or two pieces of paper?

    In this episode, Sabrina shares her experience updating her resume, which made her see her career (and herself!) in a new light.

    If you are further along in your career and struggle to put your experience in a strong resume format, I know you'll take away so much value from our conversation.

    Enjoy!
