After 10 years in the UX industry and leaving a job at Walgreens during a wave of layoffs, Allie felt like she’d lost her edge. She joined CSL hoping to land her next role, but ended up walking away with much more: clarity, confidence, and a refreshed perspective on how to tell her story and own her experience.

🎯 In this episode:

What it’s like to hit a career confidence wall (even with 10+ years in UX)
How Allie rebuilt her confidence, clarity, and personal narrative
The mindset shift that helped her stop skipping steps and slow down
Why job searching is a project—and how to treat it like one
How CSL helped her see her strengths through the eyes of others
The impact of community, critique videos, and 360° feedback
How she reignited her excitement for UX with one cardboard washing machine 😄

If you’ve ever felt like you “should be further along by now” or have quietly wondered if it’s too late to make a career move—this one will help you feel less alone, and way more capable.
