Kind of thriving. Kind of overwhelmed. Totally still trying.
Welcome to Kind of Crushing It, the podcast for anyone who's ever wondered, "Is it just me?" Spoiler: it's not. Two friends and former corporate colleagues navigate career curveballs, bold moves, leadership lessons, and the stuff no one puts on LinkedIn.
Whether you're just starting out or stuck in the messy middle of your career, this podcast helps you start (or restart) on the right foot. Tune in for the lessons they've learned the hard way, the questions they're still asking, and the laughs they need to keep going.
They're not here to tell you to hustle harder, they're two, undercaffeinated, overstimulated, friends speaking their truth.
It's honest. It's awkward. It's Kind of Crushing It.
Jessica and Nat unpack what happens when people think they are working towards the same outcome but are operating from completely different expectations. From client briefs and delegated tasks to performance and deadlines, they explore why completing what was asked does not always mean you have delivered what was actually needed.
You'll hear about:
1️⃣ Why assumptions create misalignment
2️⃣ How asking better questions can clarify what success looks like
3️⃣ Practical ways to communicate expectations
If you've ever completed a task only to discover it wasn't quite what someone wanted, or felt frustrated that another person should have understood what you meant, this episode is for you. Jessica and Nat explore how stepping back and understanding the broader purpose can lead to better outcomes for everyone involved.
