Hi Reader

I remember beating myself up a few years ago when I was struggling to figure out the answer to the question "what's next"?

It wasn't the first time I made a career change - I changed my career in my early twenties from Architecture into E-commerce

And then again from E-Commerce to Consulting in my late twenties when my confidence was at its lowest

Annnnnd I was helping people every day in their careers..

Surely I should be able to figure this out for myself?

That's the narrative I hear a lot from people in their 30's and 40's.

The reason changing careers in your thirties and forties is difficult is because you aren’t just changing a job.

You’re changing your identity.

HBR calls it “career re-anchoring”

I call it a spectacular mind f*ck (lol)

🫠 Because it’s no longer just about what you do

❤️ It’s WHY you do it and HOW you do it.



🫠 It’s not just about money and title anymore.

❤️ It’s also now about energy, authority, fulfillment and impact

🫠 It’s not just about your career in isolation

❤️ It’s about how you show up in every area of your life

Your motivation has changed
Your ambition has a new direction
Your needs have evolved

Your tolerance for sh*t you don’t care about and things that compromise your values has massively reduced 👀

And your sense of self, self worth and logical brain is playing catch up. Change feels risky because it's starting with a whole lotta uncertainty.

So if you’ve been procrastinating or circling the drain of stuckness all year…

Wondering why it’s so damn hard to figure out your next step.

The first step isn’t finding a new job.

It’s figuring out what this new version of you really wants, your motivations, priorities, needs and non negotiables.

Because if you do that you are moving forward from a place of self -trust and power instead of frustration and panic.

And I want to help you get that clarity so that by the end of the summer you have:

a) clear direction on what's next

b) clarity on what decisions are a yes vs a no (and why)

c) clarity on where you need to start putting your time and energy to move the dial towards the future you want.

And if you choose to stay working with me after that time (because you realise the accountability, structure, community and support are essential) then you get your investment refunded off the full price.

I've extended the deadline till the 2nd August midnight.

Lock in the July special price and you can choose to start either August or September for four weeks.
