Ep196: Five Steps to Reigniting at Mid Career

The Purposeful Career Podcast

Is your mid-career enthusiasm starting to fizzle out? Carla Hudson unpacks the essential steps to "refire" your career between the ages of 39 and 54. Navigate the challenges of the so-called "saggy middle" and discover how to rekindle your professional passion amidst life's increasing responsibilities. Learn how shifting your mindset to actively create opportunities, rather than waiting for them to come your way, can transform your career trajectory. Carla discusses the importance of listening to your inner voice, recognizing when you're plateauing, and taking actionable steps to maintain motivation and growth.
In another segment, we explore why over half of US workers are seeking a career change and the barriers holding them back, such as financial security and the belief that it's too late to learn new skills. Carla encourages listeners to honor their inner voice and explore new opportunities, dispelling the myth that reinvention is not an option mid-career. Through practical examples and insights, you're guided on how to re-evaluate your career path, work on your self-concept, and make choices that truly align with your passions. Tune in to empower yourself to overcome fear, pursue your aspirations, and keep the spark alive in your career journey.
