CAREER ADVICE FROM OUR LIGHTWORKERS

CAREER ADVICE FROM OUR LIGHTWORKERS
Share

Advice on making a living while living your purpose.

– KEYS SOULCARE

Whether we’re starting over or just getting started, finding meaningful work can help us welcome abundance into our lives — both financially and spiritually — by allowing us to show up more fully across various aspects of our lives.

We’re not going to lie, though: this can feel way easier said than done. So today, we’re taking notes on all things life-meets-livelihood with lessons from the lightworkers who’ve lived and learned them.

On tuning in…

“I’m very lucky and grateful right now to get to the point where I can call being ‘most’ myself my career. If I have any advice for people, it’s to keep listening to your intuition. Your intuition is a map and a guide and a compass. [Your] body’s a map and your intuition is the compass. [You] really just need to find your way. For me, it’s like connecting with my eyes. I had no idea that I was able to see things differently [as] an artist, but that’s what my superpower is.” — Gina Danza, landscape photographer

On naysayers…

“When you do something courageous, a lot is going to get thrown at you. There’s going to be a lot of people telling you, you can’t, you shouldn’t, [or] you won’t. You have to be able to carry what it is. For me, there is no ‘trailblazing’ without courage.” — Kory Marchisotto, President, Keys Soulcare

On perseverance…

“I genuinely love connecting with the community that I’ve built and I want to inspire them to go after what they want. I knew since I was a teenager that being in the fashion industry was where I was meant to be. I actually didn’t give much consideration to the very real hurdles that were in front of me, like the fact that it’s a predominantly white space, [or that] so many people come from family money so they didn’t flinch at the low pay. I didn’t get hung up on the details of how I was going to do it or how long it was going to take me, or whether I’d be accepted. I just pursued my path.” — Chrissy Rutherford, brand consultant

On curating our “to-do” lists…

“For so long — and even still, some days — I find myself asking, What am I supposed to be doing in this world? I feel so many people struggle with that. But I do know when something is not resonating, deep down inside, we all know. Learn to listen to that inner voice, and exit places and spaces that aren’t serving you. Then find environments that serve you better. Sometimes that’s a process of elimination. Sometimes, you already know exactly where you want to be, and it’s about networking and having conversations with someone adjacent to or in that space. — Nichole Kirtley, Senior Director, Keys Soulcare

On impact and legacy…

“I don’t really see a separation between activism, social justice, business, and making money. I [believe they] can meet quite comfortably, and I think we would have a better world if that was more often the case.” — Dee Poku, connector, founder, and women’s advocate

On keeping social media in perspective…

“[Posting online has] been so much more about thinking about who I’m talking to and servicing my community in some way — whether it’s sharing an outfit to help them feel confident, helping them find clothes to fit their body, sharing an inspiring message, or just sharing life’s hardships. It doesn’t matter if it’s 100,000 people watching or reading your post or five. It’s just always remembering that you’re talking to someone, and that there’s a real human connection there.” — Kristina Zias, body-positive advocate and Confident Collective co-founder
