Realtalk from Gill: I’ve been at a serious crossroads about which path to take next in my career. It can be easy to feel trapped in one lane, stuck where you are, or like you have to choose only one thing to focus on if you want to be successful. But choosing something now, doesn’t mean you’re resigned to that one thing forever. Everything you do is cumulative action towards where you want to end up. Life is a long zig-zagging road, and it’s okay to pivot and try new routes along the way. And no one has exemplified how to reinvent yourself and pivot your career again and again more than today’s guest, Keltie Knight. Keltie is a three-time Emmy Award winning television personality, podcaster, A New York Times bestselling author, and former professional dancer. She started her career as a dancer and danced in the Radio City Rockettes, in music videos for musicians like John Legend, and as a backup dancer for Beyonce and Taylor Swift, NBD. She pivoted into television as a host, working on Entertainment Tonight and E! News, and covering huge events like The Grammys Red Carpet. She’s the co-host and creator of one of the top 100 podcasts in the world, The LADYGANG podcast, which she transformed into a TV show and a bestselling book, Act Like A Lady. And now, she has just launched her new CBS primetime show, Superfan, for which she’s the creator, executive producer, and host. Join us as we chat about:The key to reinventing yourself and leaning into career pivotsReverse engineering your dreams and goals VS staying flexible and open to opportunitiesHow to know when it’s time to move on to a new project or pivot into a new career eraHow to handle rejection and bounce back from negative feedbackWhat to do when you’re categorized and expected to “stay in your lane” The benefit of having multiple jobs or projects on the goThe power of staying unattached to outcomes and just making shit happen How to stay focused with your pursuits when you’re a multi-hyphenate person with lots of interests and passionsWe hope this episode inspires you to swing big and pursue all of your passions, because as per Ross Geller, you can always pivot along the way. PS: If you’ve been dreaming of pivoting into podcasting but aren’t sure where to start or how to grow, check our consulting services at teachmehowtoadult.ca/howtopodcast.  For show notes and more adulting tips, visit: teachmehowtoadult.caSign up for our monthly adulting newsletter:teachmehowtoadult.ca/newsletter Follow us on the ‘gram:instagram.com/teachmehowtoadultmedia @yunggillianaire@cailynmichaanFollow Keltie:@keltieKeltieknight.comListen to The Ladygang Subscribe to my Substack:teachmehowtoadult.substack.comFollow us on the ‘gram:@teachmehowtoadultmedia@gillian.bernerFollow on TikTok: @teachmehowtoadultSubscribe on YouTube

Welcome to today’s ICYMI, where we kick off the week with a quick game-changing tip from one of our guests that you might have missed. Change and adversity seem to be the only constants in this life, and if navigating our 20s and 30s has taught us anything, it’s that the more you focus on building a solid foundation within yourself, the more external chaos you can handle. So, we’re throwing it back to an inspiring moment with mindset coach Leisse Wilcox, where she spills the tea on how to handle big life changes with grit and grace, so we can all find the strength to rewrite the script and start living our best lives. And Leisse is not just your average coach.

Welcome to today’s ICYMI, where we kick off the week with a quick game-changing tip from one of our guests that you might have missed. What’s the recipe for a good, juicy conversation? How do you broach tough discussions, listen actively, and express yourself clearly? We all struggle with confronting taboo topics and uncomfortable issues, but there’s an art to having difficult conversations, and when done right, they bring us closer and help us connect more deeply. We called in fellow podcaster and the literal author of the book on hard conversations, Anna Sale. Anna is the creator and host of WNYC studios’ wildly popular and award-winning Death, Sex, & Money podcast, where she's been doing interviews about "the things we think about a lot and need to talk about more" since 2014. The New York Times dubbed her “a therapist at happy hour”, and we could not agree more. Anna and her guests have direct thought-provoking conversations about the topics we’re often too squeamish, polite, or nervous to bring up. She’s the author of Let’s Talk About Hard Things, where she dives into death, sex, money, family, and identity. Listen to our full episode with Anna here!Tune in every Monday for an expert dose of life advice in under 10 minutes.For show notes and more adulting tips, visit: teachmehowtoadult.caSign up for our monthly adulting newsletter:teachmehowtoadult.ca/newsletter Follow us on the ‘gram:@teachmehowtoadultpodcast @yunggillianaire@cailynmichaanFollow us on TikTok: @teachmehowtoadultFollow Anna:https://annasale.com/Death, Sex, & MoneyLet's Talk About Hard Things: The Life-Changing Conversations That Connect Us Subscribe to my Substack:teachmehowtoadult.substack.comFollow us on the ‘gram:@teachmehowtoadultmedia@gillian.bernerFollow on TikTok: @teachmehowtoadultSubscribe on YouTube

Raise your hand if you’ve been feeling a little overwhelmed with all of life’s responsibilities lately. Our inboxes are always full, and our social feeds are always filled with everyone’s nonstop accomplishments. We're in a perpetual juggling act between work, parenting, relationships, and our health (the latter of which usually gets bumped to the back burner). There’s always more to do and less time to do it in. These girlies are tired. So this week we’re saying goodbye to hustle culture, getting to the bottom of all this burnout, and re-learning how to prioritize our wellbeing. Burnout continues to skyrocket as we take on side hustles and chase the elusive “more” – but the good news is there are real, actionable ways to beat it and prevent it from coming back!
