Is this it? Rethinking your career in midlife.

from The Messy Midlife Toolkit Hosted by Dr Janine van Someren and Vivienne Berryman

What if you’re good at your job, but it doesn’t give you what it used to? You don’t have to hate your job to start wondering whether it still fits. In this episode, we talk about why career questions can get louder in midlife, the guilt that can come with questioning a perfectly good job, and how being good at something can sometimes keep you stuck doing more and more of something you no longer want. We explore the difference between needing a completely new career and simply wanting a different version of your working life - and share our Career Fit Check: More, Less, Keep, Explore, a simple tool to help you work out what you want next without having to make any big decisions. And remember: A coffee isn’t a resignation letter. Blog: Where’s the Jigsaw Piece? When something feels missing in your life. Follow The Messy Midlife Toolkit on Instagram.
