67 | Finding Freedom & Flexibility in Your Career with Kelly Poquiz Burke

Have you ever stopped to ask yourself: Am I actually living the life I want?

So many of us follow the traditional career path—go to school, get a job, climb the ladder—without questioning whether it’s truly what we want. But what if there was another way?

In this episode of Destination Dream Job, I had an incredible conversation with Kelly about designing a career that aligns with your values, priorities, and life stage. We talked about:

🌱 The Sow, Grow, Slow framework—how to recognize what career season you’re in and make decisions accordingly
🚀 Why freedom and flexibility are essential for long-term career fulfillment
⏸️ How taking a career break can actually propel you forward (yes, really!)
🔎 The importance of defining your North Star—so every career decision moves you closer to a life you truly love

Kelly shared so many game-changing insights, and this episode is a must-listen if you’re feeling stuck, uninspired, or just ready for more alignment in your work.
