Hosted by Brie Stockwell
Life design coach to creative professionals.
Work Your Way started with a few simple questions:
What if the way you're experiencing work isn't the only way?
What if success and exhaustion don't have to come as a package deal?
What if work could feel more aligned, sustainable, and meaningful?
This series explores those questions through a series of episodes designed to open new possibilities. You'll hear conversations about energy, Human Design, nervous system regulation, money, community, seasonal business, redefining success, entrepreneurship, and what it means to create work around the life you actually want.
You can listen straight through from the beginning or choose the episode that speaks to whatever you're thinking about right now. There isn't one right way to work — and there isn't one right way to use this series either.
Want a little guidance as you listen? The free Work Your Way Field Guide will help you explore what's working, what you want, and what you might want to try differently, with reflection prompts and suggested episodes along the way.
