Navigating career transitions with Natalie Tran

Have you ever felt stuck in your career? Like you're meant for something more but unsure how to make the leap?

Or maybe you've tried to pivot before, only to end up right back where you started, frustrated and unfulfilled.

In this episode of Money & a Good Life, Steph and Ryan sit down with Natalie Tran, Business and Career Transition Coach and founder of Transition With Purpose to talk about navigating career change without burning out or losing momentum.

Natalie knows firsthand how complex career transitions can be. Starting as a Chartered Accountant, she's pivoted twice, once unsuccessfully, and once through a messy but transformative journey that led her to become a personal trainer and yoga instructor while building her coaching brand.

Now with over 17 years in corporate finance and 10+ years in coaching, she helps professionals move from misaligned roles into purpose-driven careers and businesses.

What we talk about:

• Natalie's two career pivots, one that didn't work and one that did
• What those experiences taught her about reinvention
• The types of people who seek help transitioning careers
• Whether you need all the answers before making a leap
• Why clarity comes through action, not just reflection
• Interesting career changes Natalie has witnessed
• The biggest mistakes people make rebranding themselves on LinkedIn
• First small steps for someone stuck but terrified to leave their stable job
• Managing redundancies and involuntary career change
• The mindset shift needed when change isn't your choice
• Advice for anyone overwhelmed but dreaming of change

If you're feeling stuck, uncertain, or ready for something different, this conversation will show you that reinvention is rarely tidy—but it's always worth it.

Here's to your Good Life. And thanks for listening.
