What if the discomfort you’re feeling in your career isn’t a problem to fix…but a signal to listen?

There comes a moment (sometimes quietly, sometimes all at once) when the life you built no longer fits who you’re becoming. And nothing is technically “wrong”… but something feels off. That season? I call it the quiet in-between.

Welcome to The Career Reinvention (three-part) Series: Signs, Shifts & Steps to Your Next Season.
In this three-part series, Jen Pestikas from Brave Women at Work and I are exploring the emotional, intuitive, and practical sides of career transformation, especially for heart-based professionals who feel called toward something more aligned, but aren’t interested in burning everything down to get there.

Key Takeaways from Today’s Episode

In this first episode, we talk about the very first signs—the ones that start quietly and slowly get louder.

The requests that suddenly irritate you. The goals that no longer energize you. The physical cues your body offers before your mind can catch up. We share our own signals, missteps, and moments of realization as our paths began to loosen their grip.

This is a conversation about misalignment, identity shifts, and that strange in-between space where you’re still standing in one career while sensing another is forming.

We’ll talk about:
+ The early signs that it might be time to leave corporate or make a meaningful shift
+ How to redefine success in a more human, sustainable way
+ And the small, intentional steps that help you reinvent your career with clarity and confidence

We will share personal stories, body cues, the messiness, rituals, and the tiny experiments that helped us navigate reinvention (and the same patterns I see again and again in my work as a career coach).

If you’ve been feeling restless… misaligned… or quietly wondering, “Is this really it?” Please know: you’re not behind. You’re becoming.
