Ep. 11 - Embracing Change: Career Shift at 36 and Inner Guidance

Changing your career in your mid 30s is more common than we realize, but it doesn’t take away how scary taking that leap of faith can be. It’s natural to have these moments in our 30s where we check in with ourselves and ask “am I building the life I really want to live?” Asking that question is easier than answering it but it’s so healthy to have that check in with yourself and really make sure you’re aligned with everything you want to be in all areas of your life. In this episode, we dig into the career side of that answer.

Laura shares how this question and the answers that came up and evolved for her on her journey from being an accountant to now a full time travel and wellness creative business owner and podcaster. She combs through how the stages of change presented themselves and how she handled going through each one. And she gets super real about the rollercoaster of emotions and mindset shifts that happen from day to day during such a major transition.

The beauty of this episode is that this is all present time transitions that she is facing. Her journey to a new career began as of January 2024 and she feels passionate about wanting to share everything in real time. Sharing details in the now, helps others so much more than a high level version of the story in the future. She’s one year into the game and wants to share it all with you guys!
