(#78) Is It Alignment or Avoidance? How to Trust Yourself in a Career Pivot

Is it intuition... or is it fear?In this solo episode, I’m diving into one of the most common questions I get as a career coach:“How do I know if this job, offer, or opportunity is really right for me?”Whether you’re thinking about quitting your job, pivoting your career, or launching something new — this episode will help you get clear on what’s driving your decision-making.I share what it was like to leave a stable corporate career after 7 years, how long I sat in fear before making the jump, and the tools I use with clients to separate aligned action from avoidance. We’ll unpack how internalized pressure, perfectionism, and fear of judgment show up when you’re trying to move forward — and how to trust yourself even when the next step feels terrifying.If you’re a high-achieving or neurodivergent woman navigating a career change, this is your sign to stop waiting for permission and start building a path that actually fits you.What we cover in this episode:How to tell if it’s alignment or avoidanceWhy intuition is hard to access when you’re burned out or overwhelmedThe role of nervous system regulation in career clarityMy personal experience leaving a 9-5 and starting my businessSigns you’ve outgrown your current identity or roleWhat to do when you're not sure what comes nextWork with me at ⁠https://www.coachdianadebolt.com/1-1-coaching ⁠or email me at [email protected] If you loved this episode, rate, review and subscribe!
