The Career Coach Mandy Podcast

Perfectionism is a silent killer. It’s the voice that says “not yet,” “it’s not good enough,” and it convinces us to wait until someday. But the truth is, you don’t get better by waiting — you get better by doing. You get better by showing up messy, awkward, and imperfect. Remember, unhappiness isn’t failure, it’s having ideas you never give yourself the chance to try.

If you’re burned out from rigid routines, endless to-do lists, and feeling like you’re never doing enough, this video is for you.  There’s nothing wrong with you.  You’re not broken. You’ve just been living and marinating in a system that overvalues masculine productivity (doing, pushing, achieving) and undervalues feminine power (intuition, rest, trust). In this video, I break down the difference between these two energies, how imbalance leads to burnout, and how to start creating from a deeper place of ease, creativity, and alignment.   I’m Mandy, a career coach and writer, on a journey to reclaim my voice and create more art.  I talk about how to bring more creativity and joy into your life.  My first book, Career Wounds, is out next year! I wrote a series of self-help journals to help you get unstuck at work, which you can find here: www.mandytang.co.   Thank you for listening to my podcast!  I love you guys.  

In today's episode, we're going to be talking about creativity, and what to do when we feel creatively stuck because we are just doing things out of obligation. We do things because we feel like we "should" instead of actually wanting to. This is dangerous and can lead to creative ruts and exhaustion. Instead, give yourself permission to experiment, to play, to do things for fun, and to follow the energy instead of some robot voice in your mind bossing you around. I'm Mandy, and I'm a career coach and writer based in the Pacific Northwest, and I talk about how to bring more creativity and joy in your life. 0:00 Welcome 0:34 Creativity is Healing 3:01 Storytime: My Newsletter 5:54 Let's Be Real: It Was Exhausting 11:42 Common Fears That Creep In 13:42 Permission to Let Go of Obligation 16:46 Become a Member  Please visit www.mandytang.co for more information!
