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.

73 | How Authenticity & Storytelling Sets you Apart in a Competitive Job Market with Brad Minton
Authenticity and storytelling sets you apart in a competitive job market.
This week on the Destination Dream Job podcast, I was joined by Brad W. Minton, a career development expert who specializes in helping young professionals and job seekers navigate the challenges of personal branding and career growth.
This episode had so many great nuggets, it was hard to choose my top 3, but here they are:
✅ Embrace Your Story
Brad and I talked about how your story is what makes you truly stand out. Focus on the "why" behind your career choices, as it's the thread that connects all your experiences and shows employers what you bring to the table.
✅ Recognize Your Strengths
Reflect on past experiences where you excelled. Identifying your "in the zone" moments helps you understand what strengths you should leverage in your career and how to present them effectively on your resume.
✅ Don't Let Imposter Syndrome Hold You Back
If you don’t confidently share your achievements, someone else will. Building your personal brand is key to standing out in a crowded job market.
Listen to the full episode for more insights on how you can turn your unique story into a powerful personal brand that resonates with employers!
