421: How to heal your career wounds - with Mandy Tang

Sometimes, the thing we call "career stress" is actually something deeper.

It is not just one hard week. Or one bad boss. Or one season of burnout.

Sometimes, work leaves a mark.

A layoff that shook your confidence. A toxic leader who made you question your voice. A job that trained you to people-please, over perform, stay quiet, or constantly prove your worth.

And even after you leave that role… the wound can come with you.

My special guest today is Mandy Tang, and she's simplifying how to heal your career wounds.

Here's how.

• What a career wound actually is, and how it's different from everyday job stress.

• Why patterns like perfectionism, burnout, imposter syndrome, apathy, and comparison show up so often, especially for high achievers.

• What it means to reclaim your voice and reclaim your peace after a toxic boss, painful layoff, or season of people-pleasing.

• How her "dark night of the soul" framework can help you understand where you are in the healing process.

• Disruption - the event where there's no turning back

• Dismemberment - coming back to create space with limited direction

• Liminal Space - the void, the in-between time

• Rememberment - coming back together with intention

• And where to begin if you feel stuck, exhausted, disconnected, or unsure how to find your way back to yourself at work.

It's time to #DoTheThing!
