I met Sarah a few years back through the magic of the internet and discovered that we’re almost neighbours. I was immediately smitten with her, as well as with her business name: Careergasm. So sassy! So bold!

Sarah describes a careergasm as follows:

“A careergasm happens when your work feels good. Like, really good. Like you and your work belong together.

And you can bet your ass it feels as good as it sounds.

A careergasm leaves you feeling happy and satisfied and fulfilled in your work. Not every second, but most of the time. You’ve got a hot date every Monday morning, and you show up over and over and over again because it just feels right. Mmmhmm. #slowjams”

Who doesn’t want that?


In this episode, Sarah gives us the goods on:

  1. Who gets to have a careergasm
  2. Whether or not you need to up-end your whole life to make it happen
  3. Her best advice for a woman who’s feeling pretty ho-hum about her job – we’re talking specific baby steps

Oh, and the story of Sarah’s own careergasm? Will completely inspire you.
