Live Softer, Lead Smarter: Updates from Q2+Q3


Hi Reader!

Happy Q4 (and happy Taylor Swift album release day to all who celebrate 🎶)!

I’m excited to catch you up on everything I’ve been building, and share what’s coming next to help you grow your career with more ease and confidence.

Here’s the quick rundown:

🌿 The reimagined Jamie on Purpose on Substack
💼 Career Brilliance resources to make your job search + workday easier
✨ What’s next in your inbox


🌿 Jamie on Purpose

You may have been with me since the very beginning, back in 2020 when I first launched Jamie on Purpose. That brand was where I shared everything from career insights to personal reflections.

Last year, I created Career Brilliance to give the professional side its own dedicated space, but I found myself missing a place to share about the other parts of life: style, wellness, and what it looks like to live softer and smarter while navigating chronic illness.

💌 That’s why I brought Jamie on Purpose back, this time as a Substack newsletter. It’s a separate community from these emails, and it’s where I share essays, guides, and reflections on living intentionally.

Reader favorites so far include:

And for the in-between moments, you’ll also find me on Instagram.


💼 Career Brilliance

You deserve to feel clear and confident in your career, and you don’t have to figure it out alone. Career Brilliance is your go-to platform for tools that remove the guesswork from job applications, fast-tracking your path to leadership, and enjoying your workday more.

This past month, I rolled out a new kind of resource to help you with exactly that: Career Kits — short, under-30-minute trainings that give you exactly what you need and let you start applying it the same day. After welcoming the first 10 customers through the beta group with our first Career Kit, I’m excited to officially open the doors and invite you to join the full launch ⤵️

Résumé Rewrite Blueprint (RRB)

One of the toughest parts of today’s job market is the sheer volume of applications you need to submit. It’s not one résumé that lands you the job: it’s dozens of high-quality, tailored résumés before you finally find the right fit. And that process can feel exhausting.
👉 That’s why I created RRB: a step-by-step mini-course that helps you cut through the overwhelm and get it right every time. In under 30 minutes (and under $30), you’ll learn my exact framework to transform vague bullets into strong, tailored statements and how to use ChatGPT the right way to save time without sounding robotic.
The result is résumé you’re proud of, a system you can repeat for every application, and the confidence to know you’re putting your best foot forward in a competitive job market.

You can sign up for a Personalized Résumé Review and Mock Interview for 1:1 feedback, plus join my most popular free training on How to Write Emails that Actually Get Answered.

📲 More Tips at Your Fingertips
If you want quick wins you can put into practice right away — from résumé tips to interview tricks to workday productivity hacks — you’ll find them on Instagram and YouTube. Both are designed to give you bite-sized strategies you can use immediately.


✨ What’s Coming Next

Starting next week, I’ll be sending a weekly email series packed with the most impactful lessons for early-career professionals. Think of it as a shortcut to:

  • standing out at work,
  • building leadership skills faster, and
  • enjoying your workday more

Even if you’ve been here awhile, I encourage you to treat these as a refresher, because sometimes, being reminded of the basics is what moves you forward the most.

Look out for the first email next week!


Whether you joined during the original Jamie on Purpose days, the book launch, or more recently through Career Brilliance, I’m so glad you’re here. It’s an honor to support you in building a career (and a life) you’re proud of.

Talk soon,
Jamie
