The Career Coach Mandy Podcast

I'll be honest, I've been frustrated with the pace of growth on Substack. It's slow. It's article after article, often landing with a quiet thud. For 2026, I'm doing things differently. I'm going to try writing a Substack that can be turned into multi-part video content, so that I can be my own promotion engine.

So a few days ago, I had someone comments on my YT and say that they're new to the business game - and wanted some tips on how to actually close clients. I was like, SAY NO MORE I GOTCHU. Here's my true, foolproof way that I really built my business, brick by brick, through free consultations, pricing transparency, and very little follow up. Enjoyyyy! PS I hope you enjoy this ad-free experience. Because why not! I can't just be at the mercy of the advertiser's teat. LET'S LIVE A LITTLE! xo Mandy

Hi, I'm Mandy, and I'm a writer and entrepreneur, and I talk about how to find more creativity and joy at work and at home. In today's video, we sit down to discuss the invasive effects of hustle culture, and how if you are a solopreneur, coach, therapist, or business leader, you can take your skills and productize them in a way that suits your lifestyle. As an experiment, I turned monetization off of this video. I'm just curious to see what happens with watch time and engagement. Maybe I just shot myself in the foot, but hey, we'll see...! :0) To check out my journals and stationery products, visit www.mandytang.co.

Do you have a dream, but find yourself saying, "oh, it's too late? I'm too old for that, I've already invested so much time and money in this other thing." In this video, I'm going to dispel the myth that it's too late, and that you have to stay in the same lane because you're too old or it's too late to pivot. It's never too late to change. Hi, I'm Mandy, and I talk about creativity, purpose, and coming back home to yourself here on YouTube. I'm an author, and my first book, Career Wounds, comes out in 2026. I have also self-published three workbooks to help you find more emotional solace in career changes and life changes. These workbooks are the Should I Quit journal, the 10-Week Plan to Find a New Job, and the Start Your Business Journal. I sell them as handbound physical copies and mail them anywhere in the US, starting at $28. You can find those journals on my website, at www.mandytang.co. xo Mandy
