I truly believe that fitting in is overrated.
When you stand in your uniqueness and superpowers, it will open up a world of possibilities and new opportunities.
Hey, I’m Steph, a Career Story Coach.
I focus on empowering individuals to embrace their misfit identity and land their dream job.
I have always felt like an outsider.
I wasn’t girly enough to fit in with the girls but wasn’t boyish enough to fit in with the boys.
Growing up I was so clearly different from my family, I often wondered if I was adopted.
I went to church and asked questions and was told to never question your leaders.
I tried out 32 jobs in 15 years trying to find a place to land, and until now, I never found it.
I spent 2 years running a non-profit and it was the closest thing to feeling like a fit, but with a toxic work environment, it didn’t last.
When I was laid off in 2020, I took some time to really think about what I wanted. I decided to jump full-time into business as a resume writer and later a career coach.
I am the definition of a misfit.
I created the Destination: Dream Job podcast to serve other people who have felt like me.
Maybe you don’t feel like you fit in at work, you don’t know what’s next, or you feel so different that you will never find a place to land.
I get it.
In this podcast, we will cover:
＞ Identity and Career Clarity: helping you understand and embrace your unique qualities and define your career goals.
＞ Building Confidence: Fostering self-acceptance and building confidence by using your unique superpowers.
＞ Job Search Strategy: Equipping you with the skills you need to land your dream job.
I’m so excited to take this journey with you. Let’s live authentically and truly bring our superpowers to the world.

58 | Turn your Career Dreams into Reality with Jamila Brown
When doing salary negotiation, who is more important – you or the person you are asking this question to?
That was the most impactful question I was asked in my latest podcast episode with Jamila Brown.
Jamila shares how in salary negotiations we tend to be worried about making the other person uncomfortable.
What if we flip the script and realize our family and our career goals are more important than the uncomfortable feeling of having a tough conversation?
When we truly know our goals and how we make an impact at work, we can confidently ask for what we want.
Tune into the episode for more practical steps to understand your worth and confidently negotiate your salary!
*Is there a podcast episode you wish I would do? Send me a dm with your ideas.
Key Themes:
Integration of Passions and Work: Discuss the common belief that personal and professional lives can be separate, and why that mindset can be detrimental. Highlight the importance of aligning passions with work for overall happiness.
Career Pivots: Explore the essential steps individuals should consider when contemplating a career change, emphasizing the need for self-reflection and accountability for past experiences.
Self-Discovery: Discuss the importance of understanding one's internal beliefs and values before making a career pivot. Introduce a framework of reflective questions to guide listeners in self-exploration.
Salary Negotiation Insights: Share a powerful client transformation story that underscores the significance of recognizing one’s worth and asking for what they deserve in salary negotiations.
