Podcast # 136 Finding Your Dharma Despite Early Doubt, with Jill Schontag Career Councillor

Jill Schontag grew up in Oakland. In high school she was told she wasn’t smart enough. She believed it and chose a different path — a degree in Outdoor Recreation that she truly enjoyed. But the inner flame never died. She eventually became the Career Counselor she was always meant to be. In this episode we explore the psychology of restarts: overcoming fear, imposter syndrome, and discouraging advice. We discuss reconnecting with your dharma and practical tools like assessments and mindset shifts. Jill helps people through midlife changes, retirement, feeling stuck, and more. What struck me most: how many lives are quietly redirected from their true path by the wrong words? If someone ever told you that you weren’t enough — this is your reminder. That inner voice is still there. It’s never too late.  #RestartAtAnyAge #FindYourDharma #CareerCounseling #MidlifeReinvention
