IT'S NEVER TOO LATE to change, to pivot, and go for your dreams. you’ve still got time!

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

the universe abhors a vacuum. if you don’t take the space, someone else will.

there comes a time in every woman’s life when she is confronted with the choices - a thousand small choices - that either put her in the front or the back. we can only do that for so long before we lose ourselves completely to the demands of friendhood, daughterhood, motherhood, marriagehood, and partnership. the universe abhors a vacuum, and if you don’t take up space, someone else will. === hiii, i’m mandy, a career coach and writer, and i talk about how to bring more creativity and joy into your life, right here on youtube! 💌 Become a YouTube Channel Member Support my work directly and help me keep creating videos without relying on sponsors.

it’s never going to be perfect. chasing perfection = the new burnout.

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.

#59 Burnout: "just push through it" and other lies i told myself to achieve, achieve, achieve.

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.

#58 Will I Find Peace? Yes, You Will. How to Emotionally Break Free of Overwhelm, Obligation, and Guilt.

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!
