#YourCareer : Feeling Stuck In Your Career? Add These 15 Podcasts To Your List. A MUst REad for All!
One of the most frustrating situations you can face when it comes to your career is feeling stuck, like you’re just spinning your wheels in the mud and getting nowhere. Even if you could free your car from the muck, you wouldn’t know which direction to drive.
Trust me, I get it. I’ve been there before—more than once. So have many of my clients. Some people say that your happiness shouldn’t be tied to the job you do, but I don’t buy it. When so much of our time awake is spent working, why should we settle for jobs that are unfulfilling or that leave us downright miserable? Finding your perfect-fit role takes some deep inner work, like identifying your Genius and Purpose and learning how to apply each to your career. But sometimes you need external inspiration too.
In light of this, I’ve put together this list of 15 fantastic career-focused podcasts. When you get a chance, give one (or more!) a listen. Hopefully they’ll help you see a little more clearly which step you should take next.

In “Career Cloud Radio,” you’ll hear practical and actionable job search tips from a slew of different experts, including resume writers, HR professionals and career coaches.

Starting something from scratch is no joke, and neither is turning it into something bigger. But the Black female entrepreneurs whom Nicaila Matthews Okome interviews have figured out how to do it, turning their side gigs into profitable businesses. In each story, learn how they accomplished this and hear about actionable strategies so you can follow in their footsteps.
Maybe you feel stuck because your whole company is in a rut. If you work at a service-based organization and you’re a founder, partner, CEO or key executive, then this may be the podcast for you. You’ll learn how to scale your business more smoothly and quickly—and hopefully that growth will give you the excitement and energy you need to feel unstuck.
When you hear the words “cybersecurity” and “technology,” you likely think of computers, coding and the like. But in this podcast, hosts Ron Eddings and Chris Cochran highlight the human element of these fields. But don’t worry—even if your job doesn’t fall into either of these two categories, you’ll still leave each episode feeling galvanized.
(Fun fact: In a very recent episode, I identified Eddings’ and Cochran’s Zones of Genius!)
