Career Change Myths That Are Keeping You Stuck
Episode 15: If you’ve been thinking about changing careers but feel stuck, confused, or frustrated with yourself, this episode is for you.
So many people believe they should feel clear by now. That one day a lightning-bolt moment will arrive and the answer will suddenly appear. When that doesn’t happen, they assume something is wrong with them and stay exactly where they are.
In this episode, I’m busting some of the most common career change myths that quietly keep people stuck for years.
In this episode, we explore:
- The myth of the “lightbulb” or eureka moment
Why waiting for sudden clarity can actually block progress.
- The belief that someone else will rescue you
Whether it’s an ex-colleague or a perfect opportunity, why waiting to be “saved” keeps you powerless in your career.
- The false belief that you should have it figured out by now
How unrealistic expectations and comparison create shame, self-doubt, and paralysis during career transitions.
This episode will help you reframe where you are, let go of unnecessary pressure, and start moving forward.
If you’re tired of feeling stuck and ready to approach your career change with more self-trust and realism, this conversation will give you a much-needed reset.
