This episode is for those of us navigating change, reinventing ourselves, or reevaluating where they get success from (maybe no longer the corporate world). Join hosts Matthew, a seasoned management consultant, and Carly, a communications professional, as they explore the unique challenges they are facing in their careers and new paths they are looking at.

For Matthew, it's all about resetting and ensuring his priorities are aligned. For Carly it's about reinventing herself both career-wise and personally. In our 20s the focus was on getting ahead, but now we seek purpose and flow in life.

In This Episode:

• Resetting Priorities: Matthew discusses his career as a management consultant and his perspective on the corporate world and how to achieve more balance with his career.
• Reinventing at 30: Carly opens up about feeling behind, lacking confidence to make a move, and overcoming the fear of being too old for a career pivot.
• Hitting the Ceiling: Facing the frustration of watching peers progress rapidly while you feel stuck.
• Reevaluating Success: Shifting the definition of success from career-centric to life-centric.
• Children Career Pauses: Navigating the career growth pause when choosing to have children.
• Different Considerations: Comparing the job choices and career considerations between Carly and Matthew.
• Exploring New Passions: How questioning their current paths has led to exploring new passions, side hustles, and keeping options open.
• Entrepreneurial Mindset: Embracing the mindset that a successful idea only needs to be 10% better than existing ones.
• Educational Aspirations: Discussing the possibility of going back to school, with Carly considering a doctorate in clinical psychology.

Whether you're contemplating a career change, starting a new side hustle, or simply seeking more purpose in life, we get into it in this episode.
