The Career Change Podcast

Are you telling yourself you can't just walk away from the career or profession you've built over the last 10-20+ years?
Or do you worry that staying stuck (and unhappy) OR throwing it all away are your only viable options after 40?
Then you are stuck in the "I can't just walk away" trap - let's get you out of there!
In this episode, I take you inside your head and introduce you to the "I've already invested so much, I might as well keep going!" fallacy (also known as the Sunk Cost Fallacy).
I want to help you see why this way of thinking keeps you stuck in a Groundhog Day career or job scenario you already know you don't want any longer.
You'll discover how to make the past 10–20+ years of your work life work for you — as an advantage and a launchpad for your career change — rather than letting them take you prisoner.
Because a successful career change after 40 is NOT about throwing it all away. 
Rather, it's about doing a meaningful and intelligent edit.

Most people over 40 make their career change much harder than it needs to be. They believe it has to be a matter of all or nothing. That they only get one chance (so they'd better get it right, or they'll fail in public!). Or they're (still) waiting to "feel ready" to take any action whatsoever. As a result, they are exhausted before they even start. 

In a world of work that keeps changing, I recommend thinking about career change in a much more empowering way: It's the #1 future-proofing skill you can develop as a professional over 40. Hit play to learn how that works now.

What if your real career problem is not your current profession or career — but rather your day-to-day experience of working for someone else (as an employee)?
For a number of professionals over 40, just changing careers and getting a job in that new career is not going to solve the problem. It might even make it worse.
In this episode you'll discover the difference between your work SUBJECT and your work CONTEXT — and why identifying your real problem before you start looking for solutions is key. Let's make sure you don't go from the frying pan to the fire when it comes to your career pain points. Hit play now!

Do your career change options feel limited as a professional over 40? Hit play to discover why the problem isn't a lack of options — it's that you are only allowing yourself to explore 10% of them! Learn why your brain is actively keeping you stuck in that "10% Professional Silo" and why defaulting to "what am I qualified for?" is blocking out your most meaningful and exciting options. Then get ready to both change your thinking and the places you look — and dramatically increase your options as a results. There have never been more career change and business options  for professionals over 40 than now - it's time to focus on those 90%, so you can find or create the right one(s) for you!

Changing careers or starting your own business after 35 can seem hard. But do you know what's also hard?! Staying stuck in a career you hate or no longer enjoy is hard. Working on someone else's dream instead of your own is hard.

Deciding what problems are worth having (as well as what you no longer want to tolerate) is what this episode is all about!
