Welcome to Season 12! For this special summer series, we're counting down YOUR Top 12 most-listened episodes of all time 🎙️

Each week, I'll add a fresh intro with what I've learned since recording and one 5 Minutes to Flourish tiny action to try. Coming in at #12: Three career myths a lot of us were taught to believe. If you've ever felt behind or boxed in, this one's for you.

🥂 To celebrate these most loved episodes, I'm giving away a complimentary In Season planner! Here's how: → Leave a 5-star review on Apple Podcasts about your favorite episode → Screenshot it and send it to jennifer.smith@flourish.careers, or tag me on social → I'll send you the link to grab your planner—just cover shipping

P.S. This is for US-based listeners only (I learned a lesson the hard way that shipping internationally doesn't work 🫠). Also, this giveaway is for 2026 only (in case you're listening in the future).

Here’s to your next best season 🌿

This is something I wish I thought about earlier in my career: our careers move in seasons, just like nature. 🌿

Not every season is meant for constant growth, visibility, or pushing harder (despite what society tells us). Some seasons ask us to reflect or rest, release, or begin again.

In the Season 11 finale of The Flourish Careers Podcast, I’m reflecting on why feelings like uncertainty or restlessness are often signals that a season is changing—not signs that you’ve failed.

Join me to discuss:

→ what each career season can feel like

→ how to recognize the season you’re in

→ and why the moments that make you question everything are the ones guiding you somewhere new 💛

I’ll be back in a few weeks for Season 12 with something a little different for summer… and I can’t wait to share it with you 🌟

There are certain books that arrive at exactly the right moment in your life.

For me, Die Empty by Todd Henry was one of those books. Years ago, when I was rethinking work, purpose, and how I wanted to spend my energy, it became part of a much bigger shift in my career story.

Needless to say, having Todd on the podcast felt incredibly meaningful, and in this conversation, I get to share that story with him.

We talk about creativity, resilience, and navigating uncertainty, including the night in 2007 when he almost walked away from it all, his reframing of what passion really means, and the through-line he's discovered running through his entire body of work.

I have a feeling Todd's perspective will stay with you long after this one ends.
