In this episode, I sit down with career coach, speaker, and future of work thought leader Janel Abrahami whose thought leadership has been featured in CNBC, Business Insider, Girlboss, and more. Janelle shares how a career crisis in 2020 led her to create a portfolio career—one that combines coaching, content creation, speaking, and more.

We unpack how she navigated the ‘messy middle’ of career transitions, how she leveraged content to build a powerful personal brand, and why layering income streams is key to portfolio career success. Janelle also gives a candid take on the personal brand debate—do you really need one?—and how she strategically approaches TikTok, Instagram, and LinkedIn to drive opportunities.

Plus, she shares an exciting preview of her revamped career transition course Pivot with Purpose and her journey toward publishing her first book. If you’ve been wondering how to make content work for your career (without burning out) or whether a personal brand is truly necessary, this episode is for you.
