I’m Samorn Selim. 

I’m a lawyer turned career coach on a mission for us to take our careers from dread to joy. As the daughter of poor Lao refugees, I was told to pay my dues.

After coaching over 1,000 clients, I now realize that the idea that you have to pay your dues and work in a toxic place is a myth. 

We can face our challenges head on, do work we are passionate about, and work with good people with kind hearts to make a big impact. So even as we struggle, we can find a sense of belonging.

- How to learn to be your no. 1 fan.
- What having a horrible first client taught her about managing her business.
- How to set healthy boundaries and handle pick your brain requests.
- Why self publishing is important for writers from underrepresented backgrounds because publishers are still very white.
