Episode 30:  Self-awareness towards finding career fulfillment    The decision to change careers is a difficult one. It’s a big choice, and there are all sorts of reasons why you might be considering it. You may have been offered a great new job, or maybe the company you work for just isn’t as fulfilling as it used to be. As you start to enter the workforce in earnest, it's time to have a serious talk with yourself.  The term "career fulfillment" refers to anyone who has found a job they truly love and want to continue doing.   The most important choices in our lives are the ones we make for ourselves. Who I spend my days with, what I do with them, and how my life touches theirs aren’t as much a question of what job to take as they are a question of who to be. By finding satisfaction in self-fulfillment first and foremost - from building relationships with those around us to exploring our own passions - we can find purpose in who we want to become.    Lyn Roush, is a Registered Nurse, Entrepreneur and CEO.

Episode 28:  How your fears are keeping you from achieving success    We all fear failure. It’s human nature. However, our fear of failing can envelop us at times and hold us back from achieving success in life. Sometimes, it is the little fears that sneak up on us when we least expect it. Other times, it is the big fears that paralyze us so completely than any progress feels impossible. If you're constantly feeling fear, you might just be one of the millions around the world who are limiting themselves because they are scared. Fear is that thing that tells us not to take risks or try something new. Fear is that voice in our heads telling us all the reasons why we can't do something.  The power of fear is a powerful thing. Many people will cite it as their greatest obstacle to overcoming the challenges in their life, and recognition of that power can be seen throughout history. It's the reason why we see people with fears hold back in life, keeping them from achieving success and surpassing expectations. Everyone has fears — and we all know that they don't go away on their own. You need to take action and face your fears if you want to live a meaningful life.    Shirley Paniagua, is a LCDC-I Counselor and a graduate of Applied Science in Human Services in Addiction Counseling.
