What do stained glass, jousting, and Geoffrey Chaucer have to do with your next career move? More than you think.
In this episode, Vanessa uses A Knight’s Tale to explore what it means to reinvent yourself without erasing who you’ve been. From burnout to “changing your stars,” we break down how hope, identity, and real-world strategy (hello, skills gap analysis!) can guide you out of survival mode and into something that finally fits.
You’ve been weighed. You’ve been measured. And you have not been found wanting.
