As a mid-career professional you've likely worked very hard to get to where you are today. And even though you know deep down you need a big change, you're likely held back from making one because you are  afraid of  "throwing it all away" if you change careers at your age. Hit play on this episode if you want to discover how to decide what stays and what goes (because clearly something needs to go, right?!). You'll also learn why your age is a massive advantage and why you want to get started now rather than later!

Do you keep putting your career change or business plans on hold? Find yourself reverting back to dabbling and never getting any real results? This episode will help you change that - Once and for all! 

Many aspiring career changers never move past motivational "hacks" or fluffy Instagram quotes (and therefore never escape the dreaded "start, stop, start, stop cycle").  Listen to this episode if you want to learn how to access and create a MUCH deeper level of urgency, so you can STOP faffing about and (finally) get started AND keep going!

Hit play on this episode if you want to discover why there is NO "one big decision" to be made (or messed up) when it comes to changing careers in the real world (phew!) - As well as what you want to start doing instead (right away) to get cracking with your transition and with decision making.

Should you should turn your passion into a business? This episode will help you skip past the fluff and hype in order to figure out what's right for YOU and your unique circumstances. 

Whether you should base your business on your passion is important to figure out UP FRONT. Why?  Because not all passions are created equal when it comes to whether you can actually turn it into a business you'll also enjoy AND that's also profitable.

Listen to this episode to discover two highly practical strategies for figuring out if YOUR passion is a good candidate for being turned into a business...or not!

Perfectionists have a MUCH harder time changing careers or starting their own business - Have you noticed?
If you suffer from toxic perfectionism, you are likely (still) stuck in that job or career you no longer enjoy. Why? Because you are (still) waiting for the perfect business idea, perfect career or perfect passion to (somehow) show up or for you to (somehow) find it?
Sounds familiar? Then hit play on this episode right now! 

You'll discover why and how you are using your perfectionism as the perfect self-sabotage and delay mechanism and (most importantly) what to do instead. Learning how to effectively get a handle on perfectionism is a key part of a successful career transition - Especially if you are a corporate professional over 35! 

This is definitely one of those episodes where you'll feel like I'm inside of your head right away - But you'll also finish it with a sense of relief knowing you have other options (and how to start taking advantage of them). 

Do you tend to focus on the (often imagined) risks of changing careers whilst totally ignoring the (often very real) risks of staying stuck in the career/job you no longer enjoy? Have you ever taken the time to challenge whether your risks are just imagined risks or a real threat? And might you be ignoring that right now you might  already be risking just as much (or more) by staying stuck?!  
Want to access a much deeper level of motivation and get real about what's truly at stake (the longer you stay stuck instead of changing)? Then this episode is for you!

Are you stuck in a holding pattern with your career change?  Maybe you put your transition on hold due to the pandemic? And here you are 18+ months down the line (still) waiting and (still) worrying? 

I've been helping people change careers and start businesses - Even during their most personally wonky and historically unpredictable times over the last 16 years - Not just during the current pandemic - And the highly practical approach you'll discover in this episode is one of the reasons why they were able to KEEP going. 

In this episode you'll discover why HOW you worry and WHAT you choose to worry about (or not) is a key differentiating factor in whether your transition will happen (or not). No matter whats's going in in the world at the same time. 

In short - This is an episode that will teach you how to worry constructively (as opposed to destructively). 

Hit play if you would like help getting out of that (exhausting) holding pattern - And learn how to make your worrying worthwhile instead of keeping you stuck!

When, how and why you quit your job can make or break your career transition - Especially for those of us over 35! In this key episode, Rikke will walk you through the 3 most common job scenarios aspiring career changers and new entrepreneurs find themselves in - You'll learn what has worked for her clients in terms of maximising their chances of career change success (and minimizing the risks!). 

This is a mini-Masterclass packed full of real-life tested strategies and frank advice - So make sure you listen at least once - You'll also discover why "Should I Quit My Job?" is not actually a helpful question (and what to focus on instead).  Let's get real!

Are you crazy for wanting a career change if you already have (on paper) a great profession or job with money/reputation/"safety" baked into it?

 Should you just be grateful for what you already have instead of going for something you don't even know will work out? 
Or should you focus on finding or creating a career or business you'll truly love instead? 

In this episode, you'll discover why this does not have to be a case of all or nothing and why what kind of  day to day life you really want (and when) is the real litmus test for answering this question (no matter what societal standards or your mum might think ;). 

It's time to bust the myth that you have to be confident if you want to change careers or become an entrepreneur. So if you feel like confidence  issues are holding you back, this is the episode for you! Why? Because you'll discover that confidence is NOT a requirement for getting started with your career change or own business. 

The majority of the clients I've helped successfully transition into a new line of work or their own business over the last 16+ years would NOT have described themselves as the "confident type" either when they first started their career transition. Hit play to discover what they focused on instead, so you can get cracking too!
