Struggling to find your purpose or feel fulfilled in your career? In this episode, Krista sits down with renowned career coach and TED Talk expert Ashley Stahl for a surprising take on why “following your passion” might be sabotaging your professional happiness—and what to do instead. Ashley breaks down how to reconnect with your core self, identify your natural strengths, and create a career path that feels aligned, sustainable, and energizing. They explore how to move out of confusion, burnout, and constant comparison, and into clarity, confidence, and self-trust.

We also talk about: Why “do what you love” is terrible advice—and what to do instead The three “lily pads” of career fulfillment + how to leap to the next one Releasing shame + self-doubt in a social media obsessed world Why core values matter more than you think (and how to spot yours) The essential link between nervous system regulation + making major life changes Concrete tips on self-calibration, intuition, and finding your true “home base” Building a standout elevator pitch + telling your story with confidence The untold truth about success: sculpting yourself for what you want—and holding it Resources: Website: https://wisewhisperagency.com/about-us/ Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/you-turn-podcast-w-ashley-stahl/id1382321276 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ashleystahl/?hl=en Order our book, Almost 30: A Definitive Guide To A Life You Love For The Next Decade and Beyond, here: https://bit.ly/Almost30Book.
