You’ve built a solid career. But now that it no longer fits, you might find yourself scanning the horizon for something familiar—roles that use your expertise, look good on paper, and make sense when people ask, “So what do you do now?”

Here’s the thing: that may be exactly what’s keeping you stuck.

In this episode, career coach and former Wall Street Journal reporter Richard Taliaferro shares why your next career doesn’t need your last career’s permission—and why the most fulfilling mid-career transitions often look nothing like the ones you’ve already walked.

Drawing on his own shift from journalism to coaching, Richard explores:

• Why so many professionals unconsciously recreate the same structures that once burned them out
• The crucial difference between keeping your skills and changing your container
• Questions that unlock possibility for anyone considering a career change in their 40s or 50s
• How to recognize when fear is actually a sign you’re ready to reinvent yourself
• 
  

If you’re a thoughtful professional navigating burnout, wondering how to reinvent your career without starting over, this episode is for you. It will help you see reinvention not as reckless, but as necessary.

You’re not starting over—you’re reinventing your career to finally fit who you are now.
