-----------------------------------------

Science class, high school, me braiding my friend's hair, when my teacher says: "You can drop out right now and become a hairdresser. Is that what you want?"

The interaction lasted 2 seconds, but the impact has been lingering for over a decade.

It made me believe that certain jobs are more valuable than others. It made me think I don't belong in a science environment. And it made me believe that this man dictated my future - he needed to like me.

My reaction was angry and defiant. "I'll show you." was my teenage mantra.

What happened next was the start of a misaligned career path. I became an engineer even though I hated math & science. I only felt worthy when I was validated by a man. I operated from a space of teenage anger and fear to prove myself.

It took digging and soul-searching to realize that the teenager in me was making my career choices. She tried her best, but she was only a girl. I needed mature, present-day-me to step in and take over.

Do you recognise this? Is your inner child running the show? Is she making your big decisions for you? Out of fear? Anger? Resentment? Insecurity?

In this episode, I share the exercise that helps my clients regain control over their careers and direct their career path from their wise, present-day self.

Let me know how it lands!
