Life Plot Twist: Your Career Isn't Linear!

from Kind of Crushing It · host Jessica McGovern & Natalie Milosevic

Kind of on Purpose Series: Jessica and Nat are back with a conversation that challenges one of the biggest myths in career life: that your path needs to be straight, planned, and predictable.   In this episode, they unpack the twists, pivots, and detours that often shape the most meaningful careers, and how letting go of the "perfect plan" can open the door to opportunities you couldn't have planned for.   From career changes and sideways moves to unexpected breaks and moments of doubt, they share their personal stories and lessons learned from embracing the unknown.   It's an honest, funny, and surprisingly reassuring conversation for anyone who's ever looked around and thought, "Wait, how did I end up here?"   You'll hear about: 1️⃣ Learning to find value in detours, pauses, and pivots. 2️⃣ How transferable skills shape new opportunities. 3️⃣ The mindset shift from "setback" to "redirection".   If you've ever worried that your career doesn't follow the traditional path, this one's for you. Jessica and Nat remind us that growth rarely happens in straight lines, and that there's no "right timeline", just your own.   🌐 Connect with us: LinkedIn   Have topics you want us to cover?
