Part 1 | lessons I’m learning while career-confused

Fear in your 30s and contemplating a career change but don't know what you want to do. Here's what I'm doing to figure it out. Welcome to episode one of lessons I'm learning being career confused. Hi, I'm Jessie. I'm 34. I have a toddler, a mortgage, and an established career as a binge eating recovery coach. But I want to try a new career path. The problem, I don't know what I want to do. Coaching women through binge eating recovery has been the most meaningful work of my life. I'll always be connected to it in some way, but lately I'm craving work that feels more lighthearted. But making a change in your 30s or really anytime is scary. There's bills to pay, responsibilities, and life is only getting more expensive. But the cost of staying in the same place when you feel called to explore something new, that's expensive too. So I started asking different questions, not what do I want to be or what do I want to do, but what kind of life do I want to build, and not forever, because that got overwhelming. But for this season of my life, I want flexibility, creativity, work that feels light. So I wrote down what actually sounds fun, DIY, furniture flipping, talking about money, storytelling. It doesn't make any sense yet, but I've learned you don't have to have a 10-year plan to take a step in a new direction. And clarity doesn't come from overthinking, it comes from trying something new and experimenting. And I made $800 flipping these ugly dressers and had so much fun in the process. Follow for lesson two.
