In this episode, Kathy interviews Emily Kapit, a career strategist, resume writer, and mom who discusses how she became the solution rather than the problem of her toxic workplace. Essentially making decisions that lead her towards a clear pattern of personal excellence.
Emily’s fork in the road moment came when she left her job to attend grad school and followed her gut to open her firm before she planned to. Emily also talks about being a part of the 'The No Club'. This is a positive habit of rejecting what doesn’t suit you. Where you prioritize how you want to spend your time and make room for optimized opportunities.
