  • Aren't Ya Tired of Bad Advice

    Aren't Ya Tired of Bad Advice
    Mar 16 2026

    Why is there so much bad career advice and life advice out there?

    In this episode of Aren’t Ya Tired Of…, Patti and Mark unpack how advice is everywhere—from social media and podcasts to friends, coworkers, and online “experts.” But more advice doesn’t always lead to better decisions. The key is using your own personal algorithm to filter out what fits and what doesn't fit you. They explore three keys for evaluating advice: is it credible, relevant, and aligned with your values and goals? And, is it true?

    Advice can be a wonderful gift and essential for growing and reaching your goals- even advice that may not be what you wanted to hear.

    If you struggle with too much information, direction, and advice from the world, this episode will help you design your own filter so it's not so overwhelming.

    Aren't Ya Tired of Change - What if I Can't Do This?
    Mar 9 2026

    Change can be exciting or scary —but it can also bring up one big question: what if I can’t do it?

    In this episode of Aren’t Ya Tired Of?, Patti and Mark tackle one of the biggest barriers to change: the doubts and fears that stop us before we even start. Whether you’re thinking about a new job, launching a business, moving somewhere new, or leading change at work, the hardest part is often getting past the voice in your head that says you’re not ready.

    Patti shares insights from years of advising leaders and studying how people successfully make change happen. Patti and Mark talk about why our brains resist change, how to sort through the worries that hold us back, and why starting small can be the key to making big things happen.

    If you’ve ever thought, maybe someday… but I’m not ready yet, this conversation is for you.
