Part 2 of the three parts is about career and industry change.

Changing careers or industries is stressful due to uncertainty and the unknown. However, many of us struggle with change not because of external factors but because of internal expectations. Often, we know what to expect because we've researched the position or talked to others in the industry, but we aren't mentally prepared. We fail to recognize that the change will not only be for our roles and responsibilities but also our expectations. We've developed a habit and level of comfort with our existing positions that our expectations take time to catch up. Therefore, successfully transitioning into a new career or industry is not only about technical skills or knowledge but also requires us to recognize, understand, and manage our expectations.
