S4 | E10 Career Change Tips: Finding the Courage to Let Go
Thinking about leaving your current career for something new? It’s never easy to let go of what’s familiar, especially when stepping into the unknown. In this podcast, I’m sharing my own story of career change—from leaving behind a secure career to finding the courage to embrace a new path as a therapist.
I talk about the emotional challenges of moving on, how to navigate uncertainty, and the delicate balance between ease and effort when making a career shift. If you’re at a crossroads in your career or contemplating a change, I hope this podcast helps you find the courage to trust the process and let go of what’s no longer serving you.
If you’ve made a career change or are thinking about it, I’d love to hear about your experiences and what’s been helpful for you. I now also work with people on a one-to-one coaching basis who want to make this career change, as well as therapists/student therapists looking to set up and then develop their private therapy practice.
