How to Quit Your Job with No Plan B Dec 03, 2019

Show notes

Meet Tess Vigeland, author of Leap: Leaving a Job with No Plan B to Find the Career and Life You Really Want, who discusses what really happens when you leave a high-status job without the next steps lined up.

Tess doesn’t hold back as she discusses what pushed her to leave her job at Public Radio’s Marketplace, the emptional rabbit hols she went down months after, how she landed a book deal, and the warning signs that might mean it’s time to quit your job.
Additionally, Tess and I discuss our society’s attachment to our job titles and why asking, “What do you do?” should be removed from conversation starters from now on.

Show notes

Meet Bola Sokunbi the founder of Clever Girl Finance as well as the author of a newly released book by that same name.
Bola’s a financial force but her story didn’t start like that. Today, her site gives financial advice and teaches financial literacy to millions of women each year, but less than a few years ago, Bola was making $54,000 a year and working toward a goal to become debt-free—and save more than $100,000.
Spoiler alert she hit that goal and she’s sharing how she did it plus, I’m asking her some popular money questions like how much should you have in your emergency fund, which debt should you pay down first, and how can you invest when you don’t have a lot of extra income.

Show notes

Meet Annabel Chang, Vice President Bay Area for Alaska Airlines, and a woman who’s had a winding career path including law school, a tech startup and now at the 5th largest U.S. airline.
Annabel’s career has included some tough questions that many of us do and will face in our careers like, “What do I want to do next?” and “I want more but I’m not sure how to get there.” Walking away from a prestigious job in the search for something new while not letting your confidence take a major hit was just the tip of the courageous iceberg that Annabel navigated.
The episode will also explore why asking questions can build confidence, how Annabel landed her job via LinkedIn, the importance of elevator pitches, and how to act in the first 100 days of a job.

Show notes

Meet Dr. Robin Berzin a functional medicine doctor and the founder of Parsley Health.
Dr. Robin founded the company in 2015 because she saw a flaw in the American medical system, which primarily focuses on prescriptions and procedures, not preventative care.

At Parsley, Dr. Robin’s team of traditionally trained doctors work with members, who pay a monthly subscription fee of $150 to understand what is going on in their lives that might be impacting their health.
And as Dr. Robin shares in this episode, your health is all about how you feel—not how you look so you really need to listen to your body. We’ll also cover how Dr. Robin fundraised while 9 months pregnant, hormones, sleep, the physical Parsley clinics like the new one that just opened in LA, and so much more. Plus, you can save $400 when you join Parsley’s West Hollywood location with promo code LAFM. Links below!
