Work Life Remix: Keep What Works, Change What Doesn't, and Design a Life That Fits

What do you do when the formula for success you've followed for years no longer works?

For many of us, the path once seemed clear: get a "good" job, climb the ladder, earn the title, and repeat. That formula works--until the way you operated and what you prioritized in the past no longer aligns with the future you want. The truth is, the old contracts are broken. Loyalty no longer guarantees security, balance is a myth, and brilliant leaders are exhausted by chasing a version of success that doesn't feel like theirs. And all of this is unfolding in an era of mass layoffs, disengagement, and automation--forcing you to renegotiate what fulfillment, alignment, and security truly mean.

In Work Life Remix, career navigation and life design coach Ronnie Dickerson Stewart offers a way through. A remix is not about discarding everything you've built--it's about keeping what serves you and releasing what doesn't. You will learn to clarify requirements, enforce boundaries, create rhythms, and strategize for the life season you are in and the ones to come.

Drawing on two decades of leadership and coaching experience, Stewart shares career strategy reframes like how to become the chairperson of your own life (You Inc.) and the Five Work & Life Seasons: Growing, Sowing, Glowing, Going, and Woah-ing. Through provocations, prompts, and candid stories--and by naming larger forces of technology shifts, inequity, and cultural change--this book makes designing your remix practical and possible.

Whether you're at an inflection point or sensing it's time to stop settling for what looks good and start creating what feels right, Work Life Remix is your invitation to stop performing and start consciously designing the rest of your life and career.

You can't rewind or redo what's come before--but you can remix it.
