What truly ignites your inner spark? Does the work you’re doing fuel your fire or is it time to rewrite stale stories of “success”? How do you know when logic alone can no longer guide your path?
Karen offers insights on protecting space for what matters, even within traditional careers. Because radical change may not be required to reclaim meaning. Subtler shifts can get you closer to the feeling you seek.
In today’s episode we’re digging into:
- How do you know when it's time to make a career change based on passion versus just building your resume?
- How do you expand your vision beyond job titles to purposeful pursuits that energize you?
- When is it time to make a change based on joy rather than advancement?
- What are some tools we can use to reawaken creativity suppressed by corporate culture?
- When changing paths, how do you get support from loved ones affected by your choice?
