Episode 607: Career Transitions and Meaningful Work with Laura Simms


Listen Later

We’re talking today about work and navigating career transitions. A career is on top of mind for almost everyone at some point in life. My guest is Laura Simms, an expert in meaningful work who challenges conventional wisdom by asking people to ditch their passions and start with purpose. She’s the creator of Your Career Homecoming, a celebrated career change program that helps people discover the meaningful work right for them. 

This episode also explores some aspects holding women from advocating for themselves and creating change. If you are ready to take up rightful space in your life and career, tune into my conversation with Laura!

You’ll hear:

  • Laura provides some thoughts and advice to those who are in a job where they love the lifestyle and money it provides but are miserable. “That’s not as good as it gets.” (3:44)
  • Examining questions like, “What will be fulfilling for me?” (12:27)
  • Laura’s thoughts on the idea/notion “Do what you love, and you won’t work a day in your life.” (15:09)
  • Meaningful work: Is it selfish or a luxury? (19:47)
  • Advice for individuals who wish to make the shift from employee to entrepreneur (21:45)
  • Worthiness and personal resilience in negotiating salary (29:25)
