Do you find yourself stuck in a role that no longer fits, waiting for data or "proof" before making a change? In this episode of This Woman Can, host Janice Sutherland explores the hidden fear behind career pivots.
We talk about why logic often overrides intuition, how societal expectations shape our decisions, and why waiting for certainty can delay the life you truly want.
If you’ve ever questioned whether your desire for something different is enough... this one's for you.
Tune in and learn:
- Why your feelings are valid career data
- How fear of uncertainty shows up as perfectionism or overplanning
- Why midlife pivots don’t need to be spreadsheet-approved.
