“I know exactly the career I’m meant to have.”

When I tried to figure out my next move and new path, I got swept up in the whirlpool of my own thoughts and fears and other people’s opinions. I felt I was moving sideways instead of forward. I knew I needed to make a change before yet another year passed of wandering in this wilderness. I didn’t want to live half a life anymore. I needed a change.

By the end of my initial conversation with Laura, she got me and nailed her assessment of my situation. I knew I had found the right person at the right time.

By the end of the program, I had ownership of my new career. It was a career I always had in mind but I only yearned for it without having a plan to move towards it. I had always thought it was destined to remain a fantasy. Today I’m making solid steps in that direction and whenever I feel the grip of fear or insecurity, I pull out all my program notes. There in my own handwriting are all the reasons I need a change, why I chose this career, and how I already have the skills to pursue it.

I know exactly the career I’m meant to have. I’ve broken away from the guilt of leaving a career that pays well but holds no fulfillment. I’m so much happier knowing that I now have a different career story to write.
