Career Change After 40: Why You Don’t Need the Whole Plan to Take the Next Step (103)

In this episode, I’m sharing why you don’t need the entire plan mapped out to take a meaningful next step. Whether you’ve been thinking about a career change at 40, a sabbatical, or simply a different way of living and working, I want to help you take the pressure off needing to decide everything at once. I’ll walk you through three practical options for beginning when you don’t know exactly what you want next. You’ll also hear why exploring a possibility is not the same as committing to a major change—and why a small step can give you information you can’t get from thinking alone. In this episode, we’ll explore: • Why career dissatisfaction may be pointing to something bigger than your job • How to begin creating a life that aligns with who you are now • Whether a leave of absence or sabbatical could give you the space you need • A simple exercise to help you notice the roles and expectations you may be ready to release • Why trying something you’re curious about can help you learn what fits • One question to help you choose the best starting point for you CONNECT WITH SHARLENE LEE Join the weekly Newsletter (https://your-new-chapter.kit.com/news...)
