This week we are having a heartwarming and insightful conversation with two inspiring career changers, Julia and Alison, who were part of my previous Holistic Career Change Group program.

They share their personal stories of realizing their careers weren’t aligned with their true selves and how they navigated the often tricky process of making the shift. We dive into themes of self-discovery, breaking free from people-pleasing habits, and finding the courage to embrace new, authentic career paths.

We discussed:

• how sensitive and people-pleasing individuals tend to merge with their environments, making it hard to know their authentic desires—especially when it comes to career choices.
• Alison opens up about the judgments she had about her aligned career path.
• Julia shares about considering several aligned paths & the importance of recognizing the right timing to focus on each.
• how often the most aligned careers are right under our noses but can be hard to see.
• that our innate gifts can sometimes feel like burden, but once we understand the dual nature of these gifts, they become powerful assets.

And Julia and Alison share the unexpected lessons and personal highlights they experienced during the Holistic Career Change group program.
