How to Change Careers After 30 Without Starting From Scratch

Feel stuck in a career that no longer lights you up—but afraid it’s too late to pivot?
You’re not alone. And more importantly—it’s not too late.

In this inspiring episode of the Thrive Careers Podcast, career coach and HR strategist Olajumoke Fatoki sits down with Katie O’Malley, Founder of (en)Courage Coaching, to bust the myth that you have to start over to make a meaningful career change after 30.

💡 Inside this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why your past experience isn’t wasted—it’s leverage
• How to shift careers after 10+ years without losing momentum
• What a career portfolio is (and why it matters more than climbing a ladder)
• How to upskill with clarity and confidence
• Why staying stuck is actually riskier than making the leap

Whether you’re in your 30s, 40s, or 50s, this episode gives you the mindset, strategy, and tools to pivot with purpose—and build a career that finally fits who you’re becoming.
