The Career Strategist
You’re not broken. You’re not behind. You’ve just been defined by someone else for too long.
It’s time to take that power back.
The Career Strategist is where clarity meets strategy. Hosted by Sarah Caminiti, each episode is a deep, honest look at what’s really holding you back in your career—and how to move forward without changing who you are.
Whether you’re navigating leadership, burnout, visibility, or your next big pivot, this show hands you the language and tools you were never taught. You’ll learn how to articulate your value, own your expertise, and stop shrinking to make others comfortable.
Expect real strategy. No fluff. No performative advice. Just career truth-telling for people who are ready to lead, ask for more, and define success on their terms.
New episodes every other week.
