#64 Stuck In The "I Can't Just Walk Away" Trap?


Listen Later

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.
