Manage episode 479922281 series 3547019
Job searching can take a toll on your mental health. In this episode, I share practical strategies and my GRACE framework to help you stay grounded and resilient.
If you’ve ever felt like job searching is messing with your head… you’re not wrong.
Behind every resume you send and interview you prep for is a whole swirl of emotions: hope, rejection, doubt, frustration. It’s a lot. Especially when you’re doing it alone.
In honor of Mental Health Awareness Month, this episode gets real about what the job search does to your mental health and what you can do to protect it.
If you're feeling drained, discouraged, or like your confidence has taken a hit, you’re going to want to hear this.
I’m sharing practical ways to care for your emotional wellbeing and stay focused on your goals, even when the search feels endless. You’ll also get a simple reset framework you can use anytime you start to spiral.
Tune in if you're ready to make your job search feel a little less like a mental minefield—and a little more manageable.
