Main character energy in your career…

 Main Character Energy in Your Career: Plot Twists and Power Moves 

You know that moment in a movie when the main character has no clue what’s next—but you just know they’ll figure it out?

Yeah. That part.

Except real life doesn’t come with a dramatic soundtrack. No slow-motion montage while you refresh your inbox for the fifth time. No epic turning point while you microwave day-old leftovers and question all your life choices. Sometimes, main character energy looks a lot like yoga pants, an oversized cozy sweater, and hair being held together by dry shampoo and sheer willpower.

(Award-winning performance, truly.)

Honestly, that’s exactly what it feels like in career coaching sessions. Someone shows up convinced they’re stuck. Plot stalled. No next chapter.

And then… we get into it. Connecting dots. Unpacking wins they brushed off. Realizing that random wasn’t random at all.

Somewhere in that convo, it hits: “Wait. I’m running this show.”

Main character energy isn’t about having it all figured out. It’s knowing you don’t need the whole script to make your next move. It’s owning the messy middle and making the plot twist work for you.

I’ve been there. Laid off. Pivoting. Building a business mid–WTF is happening?

Some days it’s big wins and bold moves. Other days? It’s answering emails in yoga pants, a cozy sweater that’s seen better days, and a bun that’s one sneeze away from total collapse.

(Because main characters have range. Boardroom one day, borderline feral the next. It’s called versatility.)

Some days you’re closing deals. Other days you’re staring at your screen wondering if “circling back” again in an email is a cry for help.

But guess what? Still the lead. Still the plot. Still the moment.

You don’t owe anyone a perfect storyline. Just a damn good one.
