Sometimes the biggest growth comes from saying yes to the things that scare you, even when you don’t feel ready.

This week, we’re talking with our friend Brianna Doe, founder of Verbatim, co-creator of Let Her Cook, and author of The Unapologetic Professional. You’ve seen her all over LinkedIn, but this conversation goes deeper into the story behind the posts. Brianna opens up about how burnout, fear, and self-doubt pushed her to redefine success on her own terms, and why showing up fully as yourself can change everything, personally and professionally.

We dig into how saying yes to uncomfortable opportunities built her confidence, what it really means to create a dream life instead of chasing a dream job, and how she’s learned to prioritize creative freedom, financial freedom, and joy in every decision. Brianna also shares the story behind her viral “Should I Quit My Job?” calculator, her media company Let Her Cook, and how she’s helping others do work that actually feels like them.

What you’ll learn:

• Why fear is a sign you’re heading in the right direction
• How to define success through creative freedom, financial freedom, and joy
• Why authenticity is the most powerful career strategy you can have
