I truly believe that fitting in is overrated. When you stand in your uniqueness and superpowers, it will open up a world of possibilities and new opportunities. Hey, I’m Steph, a Career Story Coach. I focus on empowering individuals to embrace their misfit identity and land their dream job. I have always felt like an outsider. I wasn’t girly enough to fit in with the girls but wasn’t boyish enough to fit in with the boys. Growing up I was so clearly different from my family, I often wondered if I was adopted. I went to church and asked questions and was told to never question your leaders. I tried out 32 jobs in 15 years trying to find a place to land, and until now, I never found it. I spent 2 years running a non-profit and it was the closest thing to feeling like a fit, but with a toxic work environment, it didn’t last. When I was laid off in 2020, I took some time to really think about what I wanted. I decided to jump full-time into business as a resume writer and later a career coach. I am the definition of a misfit. I created the Destination: Dream Job podcast to serve other people who have felt like me. Maybe you don’t feel like you fit in at work, you don’t know what’s next, or you feel so different that you will never find a place to land. I get it. In this podcast, we will cover: > Identity and Career Clarity: helping you understand and embrace your unique qualities and define your career goals. > Building Confidence: Fostering self-acceptance and building confidence by using your unique superpowers. > Job Search Strategy: Equipping you with the skills you need to land your dream job. I’m so excited to take this journey with you. Let’s live authentically and truly bring our superpowers to the world.
