Your brain is your most powerful tool in your job search. In this episode, we take a deep dive on mental fitness so you can always show up with your mind in the best place.

Erika was first attracted to the Positive Intelligence (PQ) because she saw its powerful results to shift her own thinking. She became a Certified Positive Intelligence Coach (CPQC) because the framework is grounded in neuroscience and psychology.

In this first of a 10-part episode, she introduces all 10 Saboteurs (Judge, Controller, Restless, Hyper Achiever, Hypervigilant, Hyper-Rational, Avoider, Pleaser, Stickler and Victim.

We also cover the 3 Step Reset - and even have a chance to practice it together.

1. Notice your negative thought (Saboteur)
2. Take command of your brain
3. Shift to a positive thought (Sage)

When we return next week, we'll be doing 10 episodes over the next 2 weeks focusing individually on each Saboteur. Take the quizzes so you can join along! Each takes <5 minutes. The first will rate your highest and lowest Saboteurs. The second quiz shows you what percentage of the time your brain is serving you positive thoughts on a given day.

Confidence is defined as 1) a faith or belief that one will act in a right, proper or effective way and 2) the quality or state of being certain.

When it comes ot the job search, we frequently lack the faith, belief, or certainty needed for confidence.

And that's where courage - the mental or moral strength to venture, persevere, and withstand danger comes in.

With a job market unlike any you've experienced, you need to start building courage. And that starts with changing your thoughts. This episode gets you started on that path.

In this episode, Erika talks about how and why it's possible to experience burnout even when you aren't working. She shares her 4 strategies for overcoming it in this specific phase of life - the job search:

1. Fuel your body - sleep, nutrition, exercise matter more now than ever.
2. Know your peak hours - and use them wisely.
3. Identify your energizing vs. draining job search activities (updating your resume, optimizing your LinkedIn, virtual coffees, networking, outreach, writing cover letters, company research, interview prep) and plan them strategically.
4. Set a sustainable pace. Decide which hours and which days you're committing to this schedule.
