Making a career change can feel overwhelming—but it doesn’t have to be lonely. Today’s deep dive unpacks the emotional and strategic aspects of changing careers, especially when you're moving away from a profession you’ve invested deeply in—like medicine, law, or corporate leadership.

You’ll hear:

• The internal conflict of leaving a long-standing career

• How burnout, misalignment, and a craving for purpose often spark career shifts

• Why self-reflection is the real first step (before the résumé revamp!)

• How to uncover your transferable skills using free tools and self-assessment

• CBT-based techniques for overcoming fear and imposter syndrome

• The importance of support systems, networks, and mindset shifts

• A 10-step actionable checklist to start your career change this month

🎧 Plus, you’ll hear personal insights from someone who left their medical practice and rediscovered purpose—one peaceful, intentional step at a time.

• Start small. Take micro-actions to reduce overwhelm and build confidence.
