Ever felt like you’re doing everything right in your career, but still on the edge of burnout?

Yeah, me too.

I’m Nia. I'm a creator and speaker helping young professionals build fulfilling, sustainable careers without losing themselves in the process.

Over the past 3 years, I’ve worked across the marketing world, from managing high-profile personal brands agency-side to shaping content strategies in-house. That experience taught me a lot about ambition, burnout, and the messy middle we don’t talk about enough.

So I started sharing it.

In 2022, I began posting on LinkedIn. Not as an expert, but as someone figuring it out in real time.
And somewhere along the way, 20,000+ people decided to come along for the ride.

Since then, I’ve been:

🏆 Awarded Best Breakthrough Marketer (2024) by Passionfruit
✨ Named one of Alt Marketing School’s Top 100 Marketers To Watch (2024)
💬 Featured by Girls In Marketing as a Top Marketer To Follow and as a course contributor (Laying The Foundations for Career & Marketing Success)

Now I help my audience:

→ create habits that actually last
→ rethink success beyond hustle and burnout
→ build careers that align with who they are, not just what they do

If you’re a brand looking to reach ambitious Gen Z professionals, or you're searching for an authentic, relatable voice on career growth and mindset, let’s talk.

Because the best career advice comes from someone still figuring it out 💭

I don’t believe you owe the internet your entire life story.

Especially not in the name of being “authentic”.

Everyone has different boundaries when it comes to what they share publicly and what they keep to themselves. And that line will look different for each of us, and probably change over time too.

For me, it comes down to one simple question: do I feel grounded sharing this, or do I feel exposed?

You can be open.
You can be honest.
You can share the journey as it’s unfolding.

And still choose to keep certain parts just for you.

There’s a difference between transparency and total access. Between letting people in and handing everything over.

We’re allowed to have corners of our lives that stay offline.
We’re allowed to process things privately before (or instead of) sharing them publicly.

That doesn’t make your content less real. If anything, it makes it more intentional.

You get to decide where the line is.

And you’re allowed to move it ✨

There’s a very particular feeling that tends to creep in once you’ve done everything you were supposed to do.

You got the grades.
You went to university.
You landed the job.
You’re progressing.

On paper, things look good. But something feels slightly off.

I don’t think it’s because people are ungrateful or overly ambitious. I think it’s because many of us were never really encouraged to think beyond the structure of a career.

When I was at school, the focus was on the next step. GCSEs led to A-Levels. A-Levels led to university. University led to a job. And once you were “in”, the assumption was that you’d work your way up until retirement.

What I don’t remember being asked is:

How do you want work to feel?
What would make the hard days feel worth it?
What kind of energy do you want to come home with?

That way of thinking just wasn’t part of the conversation back then. Mental health wasn’t something we openly talked about. Fulfilment wasn’t considered a career metric. Stability and progression were the goal, and for good reason.

So we follow the path that’s laid out for us.

We reach the milestone we were aiming for.

And then, quietly, we wonder if this is all there is.

I’m reading Career Comedown by Stefanie Sword-Williams FRSA at the moment, and she captures this feeling perfectly: that emotional drop that comes after achieving something you thought would make you feel complete.

Maybe that dissatisfaction isn’t a failure.

Maybe it’s just the moment you start asking better questions than the ones you were given 🧐

I’ve realised I tend to read in eras.

Some weeks it’s fiction-heavy.
Other times it’s psychology.

This year? It’s career.

Almost everything on my bedside table at the moment links back to work in some way: ambition, identity, fulfilment, burnout, building something meaningful.

This year, career is a huge focus for me. So naturally, my reading is orbiting around it.

I’ll still pick up a novel. Or something completely unrelated. Otherwise it all starts to feel a bit intense. But having a loose theme has made reading feel more intentional: less random, more supportive.

I think when you’re starting out with non-fiction especially, it can feel overwhelming. There’s so much out there. So many “must-reads”.

Sometimes it helps to narrow the lens.

What are you currently trying to figure out?
What feels slightly messy or unclear in your life?

Start there.

You don’t need to read everything. Just the things that meet you where you are.

Reading doesn’t have to be about consuming more. Sometimes it’s just about going deeper in one direction for a while 📚
