If you’ve been a faithful listener of the podcast for some time, you’ll know that I do a special episode each year during Thanksgiving week.

It started out as five unusual things to be thankful for that weren’t specific to me. Somewhere along the way, they became MY five things. The hope has always been that you will look at the circumstances of your life through a different lens after listening to my list.

Each year since the inception of this podcast in 2017, I have done a Five Unusual Things to Be Thankful For episode during Thanksgiving week. The purpose is two-fold: to get you thinking about the things in your life that you could look at differently – and to show gratitude for those things that maybe didn’t feel so good at the time they were happening.

Okay…I’m determined not to get mushy here, but I do want to take a moment to congratulate myself on the exciting accomplishment of releasing 250 podcast episodes. Today, we’ll cover the story of how I got started in podcasting, challenging my beliefs of scarcity, and I’ll give you four tips for doing the same for yourself.

I wrote a blog about Five Unusual Things To Be Thankful For in 2016, and I’ve decided to make this an annual event. In today’s podcast episode, I share this year’s list of unusual things to be thankful for, which come from my personal life…and each have application to you.

The Fifth blog and fifth podcast of the month is all about fun. My sense of humor doesn’t always come out in the weekly podcast, so here’s my opportunity to let it rip!

Today, we’re talking about university career centers. I know this episode will be controversial for some, so I’d love to hear feedback, especially from those of you who either work at, or have used the services of, a university career center.

This week's episode is a trip down memory lane, with a look at how this podcast started, how it got to episode #100, and where we're going from here.

Back in 2016, I started what has become an annual Thanksgiving tradition…my list of Five Unusual Things to Be Thankful for. In creating this year’s list, I decided to revisit the three previous years’ lists and share my experiences in this podcast episode.

I’ve been thinking a lot about my journey lately. Also, with the new year and new decade, it seems like a good time to reflect. I’ve shared bits and pieces of my life with you over the previous 111 episodes, but I decided to dedicate an entire episode to my story — what I’ve learned and how I’ve grown,–in the hopes that it will inspire you. I’m hoping to pull back the curtain in this episode.

For several years now, I have blogged and/or podcasted a list of 5 unusual things to be thankful for each year at Thanksgiving time. There are lessons in each of these things that you can apply to your life. Here’s my 2020 list.

I am SO excited to bring you the 200th episode of The Exclusive Career Coach podcast.

This milestone represents hundreds of hours writing content, recording episodes, and until recently, editing those episodes. For this episode, I pulled snippets of wisdom from the top 10 most-listened-to episodes of The Exclusive Career Coach.

Each year at Thanksgiving in the U.S., I do an episode on the five unusual things I am thankful for that year. These are things that might, on the surface, not seem like blessings – but have been. And I show parallels to how this, or something similar, might show up in your life. Here is my list for 2021.
