I’m sure you’ve heard this countless times - “to be successful in anything requires you to have confidence in yourself”. While dealing with limiting beliefs isn't anything new to any of us, there are some common patterns people face when making a career change.
The reality is, you will hit low points along the way and it’s at those darkest moments that dealing with limiting beliefs can feel almost unbearable, pushing you to give up on trying to achieve career happiness.
In this HTYC episode, Scott Anthony Barlow sits down with his guest, Vicky Meng to talk about what it was like going through the 2 major low points she hit during her career change journey before landing her ideal role. We’ll also explore the 3 things Vicky did to prepare herself for some of her weakest moments (including turning down a good opportunity to continue looking for an ideal opportunity).

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
