Today we're talking about the Best Midlife Career Changes We All Wish We Made in Our 30s.

It's funny about career change in midlife. Some women are more open to it than others. Personally, the emotion of fear had way more of an effect in my life on this topic than I ever expected. I was surprised by it. Fear isn't the only thing that gets in the way.

I also wasn't even clear on what I wanted when it came to my career. As it turns out, it's not just "what" you want to do. It's also about what else makes you happy and gives you joy that surrounds your job, or are softer aspects of your work experience, like commuting and the way in which you work with people...or not, for example.

Join us today to explore eight common reasons midlife women want to make career changes; quite honestly, they are also reasons that we often wish we had made decades ago. You will get lots of inspiration for what you want and why so get ready!

Enjoy this episode!

Today we're talking about how to live less on autopilot and tell stories on purpose in midlife. It can be a real problem when you're not aware of how you speak and recap things that happen in your life.

The problem is that much of what you say and think is not intentional. It's also not common to be really connected to the feelings you're creating. Once you understand the relationship, you can make it work for you.
