You know your job no longer suits you. But you need the paycheck, and you have no idea what comes next. How do you start moving? Lindsay Tjepkema, founder of Human Brands Win and former startup CEO, joins Heather, Blakely, and Clay to talk about one-degree decisions: small choices that move you toward success on your terms. They get into figuring out what you want, recognizing when your values are being stepped on, and using Lindsay's BRAVE framework to rethink decisions already on your plate. Heather shares a small step toward a speaking dream. Blakely reconsiders what optimism means as a company value. And everyone has something to say about following somebody else's version of success. First, college family weekend brings septum rings, parenting opinions, and a reminder that finding your people can look different than your parents expected.
Key Takeaways:
Where to start when you want a change but can't quit.
Why figuring out what you don't want can be revealing.
What a values clash at work can teach you about yourself.
How BRAVE applies to decisions you're already making.
When self-care leaves the bigger question unanswered
