When the Path Isn’t Clear, Become the Compass - with Cherry Jordan

When the familiar starts to feel shaky, how do you move forward?

In this episode, I mind-blended with Cherry Jordan, a former TV Production Manager turned transformational coach, who shares her deeply personal and powerful journey of career reinvention. After spending years in the fast-paced world of TV, Cherry experienced a major turning point—one that many professionals will relate to: feeling stuck, burned out, and unsure of what was next.

Cherry shares her own journey of pivoting out of a long, successful career in television and into coaching, and the lessons she learned along the way about identity, reinvention, and growth. Together, we explore how mindset shifts, self-awareness, and small intentional steps can help people rebuild belief in themselves and reconnect with purpose.

This episode is filled with heart, honesty, and tangible tools to help you:

• Why the industry isn’t always shrinking — and how to spot overlooked opportunities
• How self-reflection can reveal what you actually want (vs. what you’ve been chasing)
• The power of giving yourself permission to change course
• Tools to calm the inner critic and take your next step — even if it’s a small one
• How to move forward when you feel stuck, lost, or uncertain
  

Whether you’re contemplating a career pivot, navigating a layoff, or simply questioning what’s next, this conversation offers permission to pause, reflect, and imagine new possibilities.

You’re not lost—you’re just in between chapters. Let Cherry’s story remind you that you’re capable of writing the next one.

“It's about being curious, thinking about what you really want to do. What would light you up? And how could you get there. What's one small step you could take.”
