About This Podcast
Have a Nice Life is a podcast hosted by Hadassah Damien, a money coach and design strategist, and Pippi Kessler, a career coach and organizational psychologist.
Season One is HANL: A Career Change Survival Guide and has a companion workbook by the same name. Most career advice ignores realities of trauma, systemic oppression, and assumes you’re clear on your dream job. Not this time! Welcome to your anticapitalist survival guide to finding work that works for you, having enough money, and balancing your values and goals with the world we're in. Learn to redesign your work and financial life without having to know the future, despair, hate your life, or love wage labor. Check out the workbook if you want more exercises, insights, or guidance. You can buy the workbook on Pippi or Hadassah's websites.
Season Two is HANL: Good Work and draws on Pippi and Damien's expertise as organizational consultants. Good Work is focused on crisis leadership, making reality-focused adaptations to organizations and projects, and what people can do to be strategic, good leaders in a bad time.
