Welcome to A Balanced Career Podcast, the podcast for the modern professional who wants more than just a paycheck. Join hosts Simanto Khandaker, a seasoned career coach with a mental health background, and Ian Schonberg, an expert in higher education and social work, as we dive into the psychology behind career development.
Each episode, we explore the emotional and mental challenges that come with building a career—from imposter syndrome and burnout to navigating difficult bosses and finding your purpose. We challenge the notion that a successful career must come at the expense of your well-being.
Tune in to discover how to find true fulfillment, set compassionate boundaries, and build a career that truly supports your whole life.
