“You’ve left it too late.”
“You should probably stay where you are.”
“What if this goes badly?”

then you’ve already met your inner critic.

In this episode, I explore the role that voice plays in your career, especially at mid-career when the stakes can feel higher and the decisions more significant.

The inner critic often sounds reasonable. Sensible, even. It focuses on risk, uncertainty, and what might go wrong. And because of that, many people mistake it for truth.

But in reality, it’s usually a protective voice. One that developed earlier in life to help you avoid failure, rejection, or embarrassment. The problem is, it hasn’t kept up with who you’ve become.

In this episode, I break down some of the most common forms the inner critic takes at mid-career, including the age voice, the comparison voice, the imposter voice, and the loss-aversion voice.

More importantly, I share a simple and practical writing exercise you can use to create distance from that voice and see your thinking more clearly.

Because when you get those thoughts out of your head and onto paper, something shifts. What felt convincing internally often looks very different when you can actually see it.

You begin to separate yourself from the voice, and that creates space for a more grounded, evidence-based perspective.

This is where writing becomes a powerful thinking tool. Not about positive thinking, but about building a more accurate picture of who you are and what you’re capable of.

If you’re feeling stuck, uncertain, or held back in your career, this episode will help you understand why that voice is there, and how to respond to it in a more useful way.

In this episode, I explore what I call the comparison trap, that quiet but persistent habit of measuring your progress against other people, and the impact it can have in mid-career.

When we are earlier in our careers, comparison can feel useful. There are clear markers, and it helps us gauge where we are. But over time, paths diverge. Careers become less linear, more personal, and far harder to compare in any meaningful way.

And yet, many of us keep doing it.

We compare our full experience, including the doubts, the setbacks, and the slow periods, to the curated highlights we see from others.

In this episode, I unpack why comparison feels so natural, why it becomes unhelpful, and how it quietly drains your confidence, clarity, and focus.

More importantly, I offer a practical way forward.

You will learn how to shift from comparison to curiosity, and I will introduce a simple but powerful tool from my book Write Your Career, the Highlight Reel.

A way to reconnect with your own experience, your strengths, and your direction.

If you have been feeling behind, stuck, or unsure of your next step, this episode will help you come back to your own path.

It’s specific parts of it.

Drawing from Chapter 13 of Write Your Career, I introduce the four dimensions of balance: Time, Energy, Attention, and Purpose. While most conversations focus on time, it’s often energy that tells the real story. You can work fewer hours and still feel exhausted, or work longer hours and feel energised, depending on how your time is spent.

To help you make sense of this, I share a practical energy tracking exercise. Over a few days, you log your activities and note whether they lift your energy, drain it, or have no impact. What emerges is a clearer, more actionable picture of your working week.

Instead of vague frustration, you begin to see patterns. Certain meetings, tasks, or ways of working may consistently drain you, while others give you energy.

From there, the focus is on small, realistic changes. Not a complete overhaul, but a couple of thoughtful adjustments that improve how your week feels.

I also touch on protecting your best thinking time, and why the activities outside work are not luxuries, but essential fuel.

If something feels off in your work right now, this episode offers a grounded place to start.

You can find the exercise and further book details on my website.

In this episode, I explore a question that sits quietly underneath many mid-career decisions: If I changed careers… who would I be?

For many of us, our work becomes a shorthand for who we are. Over time, our job title can start to carry more weight than it should, shaping how we see ourselves and how we introduce ourselves to others. But what happens when that identity starts to feel too small, or no longer quite right?

I share some of my own experience of feeling “competent but not content,” and how the idea of stepping away from a long-established career brought up deeper questions about identity, not just direction.

Drawing on ideas from Working Identity, I explore why this tension is so common in mid-career, and why the discomfort you might feel is not something to ignore, but something to listen to.

I also walk you through a simple but powerful writing exercise, the Two Columns exercise, to help you separate what you do from who you are, and start to see more clearly what really defines you.

If this resonates, my new book Write Your Career explores these ideas in more depth, using writing as a practical tool to help you think clearly about your next steps.

In this conversation with Michael Georgiou, a chartered accountant, we explore the financial fear that sits behind so many career decisions. Not just the numbers, but the uncertainty around them, and how that uncertainty can quietly hold you in place.

We look at the difference between financial fear and financial reality, and the hidden cost of staying where you are when your work no longer fits.

You’ll come away with a more grounded way to think about your finances, including how to understand your cashflow, what a financial buffer really means, and how to create space to explore change without taking unnecessary risk.

Rather than just talking about the book, I wanted to give you something practical you can try straight away.

In this short episode, I share one simple but powerful question:

What’s missing from your work right now that would make it feel better?

It’s easy to get stuck in big, overwhelming career questions like “What should I do next?” or “Am I in the right role?”. But often, clarity starts somewhere much smaller.

By writing your response to this question, you can begin to spot what’s not quite there in your current role. Whether that’s challenge, variety, recognition, connection, or a sense of progress.

And once you can name what’s missing, you can start to do something about it.

This is exactly what Write Your Career is all about. Using simple writing prompts and exercises to help you think more clearly, build confidence, and take meaningful steps forward.

So if you’ve been feeling stuck, or just want a fresh way to reflect on your career, this is a great place to start.

Take a few minutes, try the prompt, and see what comes up.

Many mid-career professionals reach a point where their thinking becomes crowded with competing voices. Should I change direction? Aim for promotion? Start something new? Or simply stay where I am?

In this episode, I introduce a simple technique that can help cut through that noise: timed writing. By setting a timer and responding to a powerful prompt, you can bypass overthinking and allow deeper insights to surface.

You’ll also hear the story of Sarah, a project manager who had spent more than a decade in the same organisation. A six-minute writing exercise helped her uncover a direction she had quietly dismissed for years.

If you’re feeling stuck or uncertain about your next step, this episode offers a simple exercise you can try today to bring greater clarity to your career thinking.

Many mid-career professionals feel pressure to have a clear long-term plan. To know exactly what they are aiming for and where they are headed. When that clarity is missing, it can feel uncomfortable or unsettling.

In this episode, I introduce a framework I use regularly in my coaching work called the Three Horizons. It offers a way to think about career direction without needing everything figured out in advance.

We look at three distinct time horizons.
The near future, where practical progress and momentum matter most.
The medium term, where multiple possibilities can be explored without rushing decisions.
And the long view, which connects to identity, values, and the contribution you want your work to make over time.

Rather than asking you to predict the future, this approach helps you orient yourself. It allows you to hold direction lightly while still taking meaningful action in the present.

If you are questioning what comes next, feeling unsure how to plan, or wanting a calmer and more realistic way to think about your career future, this episode will give you a useful framework to work with.

You can explore these ideas further in my book Write Your Career, which brings together practical writing tools to support reflection, clarity, and next steps. You can find it here:

When roles change, expectations shift, or you begin to question your direction, confidence can take a knock. Not because you’ve lost your ability, but because many of the external markers we rely on, such as job titles, seniority, or organisational status, start to feel less secure.

In this episode, I explore why confidence can feel fragile at this stage of a career, and why reassurance or positive thinking alone rarely helps. Instead, I introduce a more grounded approach to confidence, one built from evidence.

I share a simple but powerful writing exercise called the Highlight Reel. It helps you notice moments where you were effective, energised, or at your best, and turn those experiences into clear evidence of what you bring. Not for performance reviews or interviews, but for yourself.

This kind of confidence grows quietly. It comes from seeing your own strengths clearly, naming them, and trusting what you already know about how you work best.

If you’re navigating change, considering your next move, or finding that your confidence hasn’t quite caught up with your thinking, this episode offers a practical way to steady yourself and move forward.

You can explore these ideas further in my book Write Your Career, which brings together reflective tools and practical exercises to support mid-career growth. You can find it here:

These scripts are the stories we inherit from family, education, workplaces, and professional cultures. Ideas about what success should look like, what feels sensible, and what feels risky. They often sound like good advice: work hard, don’t rock the boat, be grateful for what you have. And for a long time, they usually work.

But at some point in mid-career, those same scripts can start to feel restrictive. You may find yourself feeling restless, disconnected, or quietly questioning whether the path you’re on still fits.

In this episode, I talk about how to recognise when you’re living inside one of these inherited stories, and why simply noticing them can create space for change. I also share how writing can help you step outside the inner editor and hear what you actually think, rather than what you feel you should think.

If your career looks fine on paper but feels slightly out of step, this episode will help you understand why that might be happening, and how to begin thinking differently about what’s next.

This episode is the first in a short series, and it lays the foundation for rebuilding confidence and exploring future direction in the episodes that follow.

 Michael spent many years in senior public sector leadership roles, working on large-scale transformation programmes across health and government, before moving towards more independent, portfolio-style work. We talk about the identity shift that often comes with leaving big roles, the mindset changes involved in stepping away from employment, and how to begin exploring independent ways of working without rushing or burning out.

This episode is for anyone in mid-career who’s quietly questioning whether there might be a different way to work – one that offers more autonomy, balance, and alignment with what matters now.

We explore:

·     The emotional reality of stepping away from established roles

·     Letting go of titles and rebuilding professional identity

·     Designing a portfolio-style working life that supports wellbeing

·     Common blind spots when moving towards independent work

·     Simple, practical first steps you can take while things are still unclear

If you’re feeling curious rather than certain, and drawn to change without wanting to make a dramatic leap, this conversation will give you space to think – and permission to start gently.

January is often a moment of clarity. With a bit more distance from your usual routines, you start to notice things you might have brushed aside during a busy year. But recognising these signs doesn’t mean you need to make a big career change. More often, they’re early signals worth listening to — hints that something wants to grow, shift, or come into focus.

In this short, reflective episode, I share three of the most common signs I see in my coaching work:

• Something feels “off” — a sense that a task, expectation, or part of your role is no longer in step with who you are.
• You’re craving more energy or meaning — noticing where you feel most alive in your work, and where you don’t.
• You’re imagining other futures — those small, curious “what if?” questions that surface when your identity is starting to stretch.

For each sign, I offer a simple writing prompt from my new 30-day course, Write Your Career, to help you interpret what the sign is pointing toward. These questions aren’t about pressure or dramatic decisions. They’re about clarity — about hearing yourself more clearly and reconnecting with what matters.

Whether you’re feeling stuck, quietly restless, or simply sensing that something in your working life might need attention, this episode gives you a gentle, practical way to explore what’s going on beneath the surface.

And if you’d like to work through these prompts more deeply, the Write Your Career course is available now at the January launch price of £49, with or without one-to-one coaching.

I talk through what’s changed, what’s improved, and how the course and book fit together to support anyone wanting more clarity, direction, or momentum at the start of the year. I also explain the new coaching-supported option, designed to give people more structure and guidance as they work through the material.

To finish, there’s a short Coaching Moment focused on the value of simply getting started — why small beginnings often matter more than big plans, and how you can use that idea to shape your next steps in 2026.

Suzanne and I first spoke back in 2023 for the Association for Coaching podcast, and so much has evolved for both of us since then. Today we reconnect to explore the realities of mid-career change: the moments that shake your confidence, the small steps that make the biggest difference, and why no one should navigate transition alone.

We talk about the emotional impact of redundancy, what really helps people rebuild clarity and confidence, and the practical ways to move forward when you’re feeling misaligned or unsure. Suzanne also shares powerful stories of clients she’s supported — including members of her new community space, created to take the loneliness out of redundancy.

Together, we explore themes of wellbeing, resilience, and the importance of pausing before rushing into what’s next. We also dig into the rise of purpose-driven work, the changing world of hybrid careers, and how mid-career professionals can leverage their experience, strengths and values to shape a meaningful next chapter.

Whether you’re going through change yourself or supporting others through it, this conversation offers reassurance, perspective and plenty of practical ideas. Suzanne’s message is clear: you’re not starting from scratch — you’re starting from experience.

If you’re navigating uncertainty, wondering what’s next, or craving a sense of community during transition, this one’s for you.

Drawing on recent coaching conversations, I share how many mid-career professionals lose confidence not because their ability fades, but because the familiar structures that once supported them — job titles, recognition, belonging — start to shift. Confidence doesn’t vanish; it simply takes on a new form as you step into what’s next.

I offer practical ways to reconnect with your strengths, align your work with your core values, and take small, deliberate steps that rebuild momentum. I also look at the link between confidence and fear — and why feeling fear isn’t a sign you’re not ready, but a signal that you’re stretching into something meaningful.

Whether you’re exploring new options, facing redundancy, or simply feeling ready for change, this episode offers calm, realistic guidance for rediscovering confidence that lasts — not the loud kind that demands attention, but the quiet kind that carries you forward.

We talk about the pressures many mid-career professionals face, including identity shifts, self-doubt, and the mental overload that comes with exploring new directions. Nina introduces techniques such as the one-minute breathing reset, thought reframing and compassionate pausing, helping you bring calm and clarity back into the moments that matter.

We also look at how stress blocks creativity — and how a more settled mindset can help you open up new career possibilities.

In this episode, I share one of my favourite journaling tools: the Career Highlight Reel. The idea is simple—write down the moments when you’ve felt most alive, proud, or energised in your work. They might be big achievements or small everyday wins, but when you capture them, patterns and strengths start to appear.

I first tried this when I was feeling stuck, and it gave me clarity about the kind of work that brought me energy—and the confidence to take new steps. I now use it with clients, and it consistently helps them reconnect with what they do best.

Whether you’re exploring a change, growing in your current role, or just needing a boost, the Highlight Reel is a powerful way to see your career differently.

Grab a pen and try it for yourself.

In this episode of Mid Career Change, I sit down with Steve Jaffe, author of The Layoff Journey: From Dismissal to Discovery. Over a 25-year career in advertising and marketing, Steve experienced four layoffs. Each time, he had to face the emotions head-on: denial, pain, negotiation, depression, and eventually acceptance, reconstruction, and renewal. His new book offers a compassionate and practical roadmap through these stages, helping people move from setback to possibility.

We talk about why layoffs strike so deeply at our sense of self, why it’s normal to feel anger or shame, and how to begin regaining confidence when the ground beneath you feels uncertain. Steve shares powerful insights from his own story, including how he reframed each layoff as a reset button — an opportunity to reflect on what mattered most and to reimagine the future.

What I especially valued in this conversation is Steve’s mix of empathy and practical wisdom. He reminds us that while job loss is painful, it doesn’t define us. He offers strategies for coping with the immediate shock, protecting your self-worth, and taking the first steps towards renewal. And he makes the case that, even in the messy middle of transition, there is always the possibility of growth.

If you’ve been laid off, are supporting someone who has, or simply want to build resilience in uncertain times, this episode will give you both comfort and direction.

In this solo episode, I share the surprising power of writing as a tool for clarity, confidence, and change.

I talk about how I first stumbled upon journalling during my own career crossroads, and how it became a steady companion—helping me make sense of setbacks, notice hidden patterns, and take bolder steps forward. Over time, I began introducing these techniques to my coaching clients and saw the same powerful results.

I’ll also take you behind the scenes of some of the writers and thinkers who have shaped my approach, including The Great Book of Journaling, Mark Levy’s Accidental Genius, Alison Jones on exploratory writing, Nancy Kline’s Time to Think, Julia Cameron’s The Artist’s Way, and Elizabeth Gilbert’s Big Magic.

Alongside my next book, Write Your Career (publishing April 2026), I’ve created a 30-day journalling course—and in this episode, I invite you to join the pilot version for free.

And stay tuned until the end, when I’ll guide you through a short but powerful exercise: the “Five-Word Future.” In just a minute, you’ll write down the five words that capture the career you truly want—and discover how writing can open the door to new clarity.

Josh shares his powerful mid-career story, from working in finance and running a creative agency to hitting a personal crossroads that changed everything. We talk about what happens when life on the outside looks fine, but inside, something’s missing — a familiar feeling for many in their 30s and 40s.

We explore why this stage of life can feel especially challenging for men, how a sense of community often disappears in adulthood, and why encouragement and belief are often the two things men need most — but rarely ask for.

Josh also explains how group work, honest conversation, and small consistent changes lead to genuine transformation — not flashy reinventions, but subtle shifts that help men show up more fully in work, relationships, and life.

We also discuss journalling as a tool for clarity — how a simple daily writing practice can reconnect you with your values and intentions.

If you’re feeling stuck or disconnected in your mid-career chapter, this episode offers thoughtful insight, relatable stories, and practical next steps.

In this solo episode, I explore the inner game of career change: the doubts, fears, and identity questions that so often keep us stuck—even when we know we want something more.

You’ll hear about the kinds of internal resistance I see in coaching sessions all the time: fear of regret, feeling like you’re walking away from part of who you are, and the quiet dread that says, “What if I’m not good enough to make a change?”

But this episode isn’t just about recognising those blocks—it’s about coaching yourself through them.

I’ll share three practical coaching tools you can use to move forward with more clarity and confidence:

• A question that helps you cut through surface confusion
• An exercise to connect with your wiser, future self
• And a strategy to take small, low-risk steps toward something new

If you’re feeling unsettled in your current role, or stuck between where you are and where you might want to be—this episode is for you.

You don’t need to have it all figured out. You just need to be willing to look a little deeper—and take one small step forward.

Together we explore how to navigate emotional transitions like divorce, co-parenting and burnout—while staying grounded in your values. Lindsey shares practical strategies for setting boundaries, rebuilding confidence, and reconnecting with the parts of yourself that often get lost in the noise of mid-career life.

I share a personal story from an industry awards dinner that made me realise I no longer belonged in the world I once felt part of. From there, we look at five key signs that often show up when it’s time for change—whether it’s feeling underused, disconnected from purpose, or quietly dreading Monday mornings.

This isn’t about making a sudden leap. It’s about paying attention to the signals, following your curiosity, and starting to explore what might come next.

I’ll also share three practical things you can do if any of this resonates—including how to get hold of my free Should I Stay or Should I Go? guide.

Whether you’re at the start of this feeling or deep in the middle of it, this episode is here to help you reflect, reconnect, and take a step forward.

What if your career looks great on the outside—but no longer feels right on the inside?

In this episode, I’m joined by Mairead Ramonet, a confidence and mindset coach who works with high-achieving professionals in their 30s and 40s who’ve outgrown their old definition of success. Together, we explore the subtle but powerful signs that it might be time to rethink your direction.

Mairead introduces the idea of being “secretly stuck”—a place where everything seems fine on the surface, but deep down you know something’s not sitting right. We talk about the success hangover, identity shifts, and the emotional toll of staying in a career that no longer aligns with who you’re becoming.

You’ll learn:

In this episode of Mid Career Change, I share six practical ways you can use the summer months to reflect, reset and gently build momentum—especially if you’re mid-career and starting to feel like something needs to shift.

Whether you’re feeling stuck, starting to consider a change, or simply want to feel more aligned with your work, this episode will help you make the most of the space and slower rhythm that summer offers.

We’ll explore:

• How to clear the mental and physical clutter and create room for clarity
• Simple journaling prompts to help you gain insight into what’s next
• Key questions to reflect on your progress and recalibrate your direction
• Why your CV and LinkedIn should reflect who you’re becoming
• How to reconnect with your network in a natural, low-pressure way
• Ideas for small-scale self-development that can spark big shifts
• And why real momentum often begins with rest, not action

You don’t need a grand plan this summer—just a bit of space, intention, and curiosity.

So grab a notebook, find a quiet spot, and let this episode guide you into a clearer, more energised version of what’s next.

Ingrid works with entrepreneurs and business leaders using a powerful and unique process called Signature Pattern Discovery. Through simple sketches and deep listening, she helps people see the organising principle at the heart of their work – the thread that weaves together their skills, story, personality and passions.

We discuss what happens when your ideas feel disconnected, why clarity so often sits just beneath the surface, and how working visually can reveal insights that words alone might miss. Ingrid shares how her own breakthrough came during a mastermind weekend – involving late-night journalling, a pile of ideas, and a realisation that brought her work into sharper focus.

We talk about the importance of working with the “mess” instead of resisting it, and why recognising your own Signature Pattern can bring calm, confidence, and clearer direction – whether you're running a business or navigating a mid-career transition.

In this solo episode, I explore the hidden toll that being in the wrong job, or simply feeling misaligned, can have on one's energy, confidence, and future opportunities.

Drawing on my experience of feeling stuck in a successful but unfulfilling engineering role, I share what it means to be stuck, how it shows up in your day-to-day life, and the quiet impact it can have over time.

But this isn’t just a diagnosis—it’s a path forward.

You’ll learn three practical ways to loosen the grip of stuckness and begin creating momentum:
• How to notice and name what’s really going on
• Why micro-experiments can unlock surprising new directions
• And the power of talking it through with the right people

This episode is both a compassionate reflection and a gentle nudge—because staying stuck isn’t your only option. And often, the first small step changes everything.

In this episode, I speak to Michael Georgiou, a Chartered Accountant who’s currently transitioning into a new path as a career coach. Michael shares his story with honesty and clarity — offering a rare perspective from someone still in the middle of the journey.

We explore what led him to accountancy, the early signs that it wasn’t quite right, and how personal values like freedom, fulfilment, and service pointed him in a new direction. Michael also talks about the challenge of managing energy while juggling two roles, and how identity and mindset evolve during change.

This is a thoughtful and encouraging conversation for anyone considering a career shift or feeling uncertain about their next step. It’s a reminder that clarity often comes after action — and that you don’t have to wait until everything’s perfect before you begin.

We explore a powerful idea: that fear isn’t something to crush or push through — it’s a messenger. And often, those of us going through mid-career change are stepping into greater visibility at work, which brings old fears and self-doubt to the surface.

Linda shares why traditional advice like “just do it scared” often falls short, and what to do instead. We discuss the deeper roots of speaking anxiety, the importance of healing the inner critical voice, and how past experiences shape our present fears.

You’ll also hear practical advice on dealing with impostor syndrome, handling mistakes while speaking, and feeling more confident in front of an audience.

Whether you want to raise your profile, lead with more confidence, or stop dreading presentations and speaking opportunities, this conversation offers insight and encouragement.

If you’re ready to step into the limelight — and maybe even enjoy it — this episode is for you.

Since publishing Mid Career Change: A Guide for Hope, Clarity, and Action in January, I’ve been thrilled with the response. Sales have been steady, and I’ve had the opportunity to discuss the book as a guest on several other podcasts. But beyond the sales and conversations, the process of writing and publishing the book was a transformational journey in itself—one that mirrors the experience of changing careers in so many ways.

Writing a book, much like a career change, requires:

• Making a clear decision to start, even when self-doubt creeps in.
• Having a plan but staying flexible when things don’t go as expected.
• Overcoming resistance, including moments of lost motivation and imposter syndrome.
• Asking for help—whether from beta readers, mentors, or people who’ve been through it before.
• Putting yourself ‘out there’ in a way that can feel vulnerable but is ultimately rewarding.

I share the highs and lows of the writing process—from feeling inspired while writing in the Spanish sun to battling self-doubt when motivation waned. I also talk about how seeking feedback made the book stronger and why taking small, consistent steps was the key to getting it done—just as it is when making a career transition.

If this episode resonates with you, check out my book Mid Career Change: A Guide for Hope, Clarity, and Action on Amazon.co.uk or Amazon.com. It’s filled with practical insights, real-life stories, and exercises to help you navigate career change with confidence.

I hope this episode gives you encouragement, whether you’re thinking about a career shift or working on a big goal of your own. Enjoy the episode, and let me know what you think!

What You’ll Learn in This Episode

✨ Why career change doesn’t mean starting from scratch—and how to leverage your experience
✨ How clarity comes from action, not overthinking
✨ Why it’s never too late for a career change (and how to shift your mindset)
✨ Practical steps to explore new opportunities without taking big risks

Key Takeaways

🔹 Myth 1: Changing Careers Means Starting Over Again

💭 Many people fear that making a career change means losing everything they’ve built—their skills, credibility, and financial security.

✅ The Truth: You don’t have to start from scratch. Instead, you’re repurposing your skills and applying them in a new, more fulfilling way.
✅ Example: A client of mine moved from marketing to project management, using her organisational and leadership skills to transition into a higher-level role.
✅ What to Do: Identify your transferable skills and how they can fit into different industries.

👉 Key Question: What skills do I already have that could be valuable in a different role or industry?

🔹 Myth 2: You Need to Figure It All Out Before You Start

💭 People often think they need a perfect career plan before making a change, leading to analysis paralysis.

✅ The Truth: Clarity comes from taking action, not waiting for the perfect plan.
✅ Example: One client started coaching on the side while keeping her full-time job, testing the waters before fully committing.
✅ What to Do: Start with small career experiments—job shadowing, side projects, informational interviews—to test new paths before making a big leap.

👉 Key Question: What small step can I take this week to explore a new career direction?

🔹 Myth 3: It’s Too Late to Change

💭 A common fear for mid-career professionals is believing they’re too old to switch careers.

✅ The Truth: Experience is a huge advantage, and many industries actively seek seasoned professionals for leadership and expertise.
✅ Example: A former client successfully transitioned from accounting to HR in her early 50s, proving that career change is possible at any stage.
✅ What to Do: Reframe age as an asset—focus on your experience, adaptability, and problem-solving skills.

👉 Key Question: How can I showcase my experience as a strength rather than a limitation?

Practical Steps to Make Career Change Possible

🚀 Identify Transferable Skills – What are you great at? What do people often seek your advice on?
🚀 Start with Low-Risk Experiments – Try a side project, freelance work, or an online course in your area of interest.
🚀 Expand Your Network – Talk to people in industries or roles that interest you.
🚀 Shift Your Mindset – Instead of “Am I too old?” ask “What unique value do I bring?”

Today, Christine returns to share her experience of managing a parallel career, balancing her role as a part-time NHS radiographer with her coaching practice. We discuss:

• What it means to have a parallel career.
• Practical tips for balancing two professional roles.
• The benefits, challenges, and boundaries that come with this arrangement.
• How this setup can complement personal and professional growth.

Christine also shares how her dual roles influence her identity and skillset, and I’ll reflect on my own experience of working a parallel career.

Key Topics Covered:

1. What is a Parallel Career?
   • Parallel careers involve committing to two professional roles simultaneously, more than a casual side hustle, allowing skill-building and meaningful contribution in both areas.
2. Christine’s Journey:
   • Transitioning from finance to radiography at 32.
   • Combining her NHS role with sobriety coaching after her personal journey with alcohol.
3. Benefits of a Parallel Career:
   • Financial stability through a steady role.
   • Personal growth and skill enhancement.
   • Variety and the ability to pursue passion projects.
4. Challenges and Boundaries:
   • Maintaining professional commitments in both roles.
   • Declaring interests and ensuring transparency with employers and professional bodies.
   • Effectively managing time, energy, and priorities.
5. Practical Tips:
   • Start small—explore new interests alongside your current role.
   • Use tools like colour-coded calendars to balance commitments.
   • Be honest with yourself and adjust as needed.
   • Take action to test ideas and gather feedback.

First, treat your career change like a project. Break it into manageable tasks, like updating your LinkedIn profile, finding a mentor, and researching job opportunities. Create a dedicated space for your career change efforts, and keep your “why” statement visible—a concise reminder of your motivation to keep you focused.

Next, build a support team. A Career Change Buddy who’s either on a similar path or has already made a transition can provide guidance and encouragement. Also, involve your partner and family in the process to ensure their support.

Finally, persistence and determination are key. Adopt a Responsibility Mindset to take ownership of your career, a Possibility Mindset to stay open to new opportunities, and a Growth Mindset to embrace challenges as learning experiences.

Now, firstly I know that Covid hasn’t gone away and in some parts of the world cases and deaths are still high. I want to be respectful of that fact. 

And there is some degree of uncertainty about how the pandemic will play out and what the endgame will be.

Nevertheless, I want to talk about how we can reset our careers following the events of the last 14 months. Because, during this time, things have been different for us 

And for sure our lives and careers have been interrupted

We’ve had to deal with:

-       Lockdowns and limitations on our movements

-       Additional childcare responsibilities as many schools remained closed

-       Working differently with our teams and organisations

-       A lack of confidence - In the market, our society and in many cases in us as well. Covid 19 has knocked many of us for six.

But remember, interruptions aren’t endings. 
In fact, we can make them into something new — and that’s what we are going to do in this episode. 

We are going to make what’s next even better!
