205: Finding a career that supports your lifestyle + values with Kali Wolken

LauraAura | Alignment Coach for Driven Women, Speaker, Author, and Entrepreneur of 16 Years

You work for the majority of your life – in fact the average person spends 90,000 hours working in their lifetime. That’s a LOT of time to spend either doing something that you LOVE or dreading every second of it. Today, we’re talking with Career Counselor Kali Wolken about finding work that not only pays the bills, but fills your tank instead of depleting it.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

  • Leaning in and trusting your instincts
  • An exercise to figure out your values
  • When your job doesn’t align with your values
  • Workplace values: which are your non-negotiables?
  • If you’re not leaving your job out of fear, this one’s for you
  • Exploring your “when I grow up” story
  • How to give yourself permission to change no matter what
  • Career tests and a question to help you find the job for you


Kali is a Certified Career Counselor helping people explore career opportunities that align with their interests, values, and personalities. Lookout Point Career Coaching is a place where burnt-out professionals come to find renewed purpose. Doing work you love isn't just about finding something that checks all the boxes. It's about finding a path that truly aligns with your identity.
