    This week on Unstuck Career, I sit down with Bishop Kevin Foreman for a transformative conversation about getting “unstuck”—not just in your career, but in every part of your life. We crack open the myth that spirituality and success are incompatible, and Bishop Foreman shares why embracing your difference can be the secret power behind your breakthrough. If you’ve ever felt torn between your calling and chasing career wins, this episode is a must-listen.

    You’ll hear why pouring out your gifts is the key to feeling energized and fulfilled—rather than stuck, stagnant, or “poor” in joy. Bishop Foreman reveals how the journey, not just the destination, brings true satisfaction, and we dig into the wisdom behind the parable of the talents. Are you hiding your skills out of fear, or stepping boldly into risk and responsibility like a five-talent servant? We unpack why comfort and growth can’t coexist, and how to flip what feels like failure into momentum for your future.

    Ready to rethink faith, risk, and how you measure success? This episode is full of practical strategies and soul-level inspiration to help you identify your “pour” and move forward—even when the way out isn’t obvious. Want more?

  • Nothing Changes Until You Do: Taking Control of Your Career and Happiness
    Mar 20 2026

    Send us Fan Mail

    This week, we're confronting the classic mantra, “nothing changes until something changes,” and digging into why it’s so tempting to wait for someone—or something—else to fix our work frustrations. Have you found yourself wishing your boss, your company, or even the economy would shift so life at work feels better? I share stories from my own coaching experience, including a candid conversation with a friend and client who took the brave step of sitting down with her boss to voice her frustrations, reminding us just how hard it can be to take ownership for the change we seek.

    You'll learn why true freedom in your career starts with realizing that it’s not your job’s job to make you happy—fulfillment, impact, and happiness are your own responsibility. We'll discuss the discomfort of facing necessary conversations and changes, and explore the liberating impact of shifting your focus away from things you can’t control, toward the powerful actions you can take yourself.

    If you’re tired of waiting for someone else to make a move, this episode is for you. I’ll help you see how a single step in a new direction can unlock the doors that feel stuck in your work and life. Ready for your next step?

  • Challenging Your Comfort Zone and Discover What's Next
    Mar 16 2026

    Have you ever felt like you were living on autopilot—working, going to the gym, and coming home—wondering if it’s time to shake things up? This week on Unstuck Career, I sit down with Alexia Photiou for an honest conversation about what it’s really like to be right in the middle of a life and career transition. Alexia shares her story of leaving the comfort of Australia to move to England, searching for not just a new job but a new way to live and grow. Together, we explore the reasons behind bold moves, the challenge of finding your “people” in a new country, and the realities of navigating a career when none of the boxes feel truly checked.

    You’ll hear how Alexia mapped out four core drivers—creativity, connection, helping others, and leadership—and what it’s like when those desires don’t line up with the work you’re doing. She gets vulnerable about the pressures of self-doubt and uncertainty, especially when you’re staring down a sea of possibilities and asking, “What’s next?” From writing her own book manuscript to reflections on risk and motivation, Alexia’s story is for anyone wondering whether real fulfillment is possible—or what it even looks like.

    Ready to stop letting “I don’t know” hold you back? Listen in and learn practical strategies to reframe indecision, build momentum (not just motivation), and turn lessons learned into stepping stones for the future. If you want to join the conversation, I’d love to hear your story—reach out to me at kenwilliamscoaching.com.

  • Whose Dream Are You Building? How to Reclaim Your Career Path
    Mar 13 2026

    Send a text

    This week on the Unstuck Career Podcast, we're shifting the focus to dreams—yours, specifically. Too often, we find ourselves clocking in and out, helping someone else achieve their vision while our own aspirations take a backseat. I open up about my own complicated history with goals and how, for years, I felt stuck following a path laid out by others—bosses, companies, or just whatever seemed like the “logical next step.” If you’ve ever wondered why you feel unfulfilled in your work, this is the episode that challenges you to examine whose dream you’re actually building.

    We’ll dig into the power of identifying your own vision, why simply doing the work isn’t enough, and the critical first steps needed to move in your own direction. I’ll share relatable stories—like how a question from my manager at FedEx made me realize I’d been living someone else’s plan for years—and why it’s time for you to claim your own. Plus, you’ll get a sneak preview of our upcoming conversation with Alexia, who’s learning to navigate her own path out of a toxic 9-to-5.

    Ready to become unstoppable and get back to a career you actually love? Listen in for practical tips to help you move towards your dream, find more happiness, and finally live into your purpose. Connect with me or learn more at kenwilliamscoaching.com.

  • Why Golden Handcuffs Might Only Exist in Your Mind
    Mar 6 2026

    Send a text

    Ever feel chained to a job you don’t love because the perks are just too good to give up? This week, we tackle the myth of “golden handcuffs”—those alluring benefits and comforts that keep you stuck in roles you're only lukewarm about. I share candid stories from my own journey, revealing why it took me years to see past the so-called security of airline discounts, free vacations, and steady paychecks—and what finally got me moving toward a more fulfilling life.

    We'll unpack the tricky mindset that makes those golden handcuffs feel so real, even when the math (and your happiness) says otherwise. You’ll hear the simple—but powerful—question I ask clients who can’t seem to pull the trigger on a career change, and learn why the biggest risks are often what you’re not doing.

    If you’re longing for more but afraid to lose the safety net, this episode is your nudge to start asking what you’re giving up by staying put, and how you can take the first step toward work you love. Want support breaking free? Connect with me at kenwilliamscoaching.com.

    This week, I sit down with Jen Disney, a marine biologist who’s bravely navigating the messy middle of a major career pivot. After nearly 20 years in her dream field and reaching milestones she’d set as a child, Jen realized her definition of fulfillment was shifting—especially after becoming a new mom. We talk candidly about the challenges of outgrowing your professional environment, competing values at work, and the courage it takes to step away from a lifelong identity.

    You’ll hear Jen’s honest reflections on what it means to “redefine success” when the opportunities in your niche industry dry up and life pulls you in new directions. From her struggles to find jobs that truly resonated, to the powerful realization that it was time to be bold and start something of her own, Jen’s move to launch her Rice Krispie treat company—Crispy Comfort Co.—offers inspiration for anyone wrestling with their next chapter. She opens up about the excitement and fears of taking the leap, the importance of community, and how she’s mixing creativity into her new venture.

    If you’ve ever thought about making a drastic change, or wondered what it’s like to build something brand new from scratch, this episode is for you. Follow Jen’s journey on Instagram at Crispy Comfort Co, and check out upcoming updates and opportunities to try her unique creations at Orange County Farmers Markets.

  • Building Your Career Without Worrying About Reputation
    Feb 27 2026

    Send a text

    In this week’s episode, we tackle the age-old question: “What will other people think?”—and how your obsession with reputation may be keeping you stuck in your career. I break down the invisible weight of other peoples' opinions, from LinkedIn hesitations to the viral “olive oil on a resume” controversy, showing how even the smallest decisions can become paralyzing when we let imagined critics sway our choices.

    You’ll hear why chasing a flawless image is a losing game, especially when the very things you hide might matter to one person but turn off another. I get candid about the realities of ageism and other biases in the workplace, and offer actionable advice on what to show (and what not to) when crafting your resume—without making yourself disappear just to avoid rejection.

    If you’re tired of filtering yourself to fit someone else’s mold, this episode invites you to reclaim your integrity, own your authentic story, and focus on what you can actually control. Ready to get unstuck and unstoppable? Let me help you move forward—head over to kenwilliamscoaching.com to connect and learn more.
