#334: What to Do When Your Career No Longer Fits in a Midlife Transition

Have you built a career that looks successful from the outside, and still carry an honest knowing on the inside that it no longer fits the woman you have become? Nothing may be obviously wrong. The title is still there, the paycheck is still there, and everyone around you assumes you should be grateful. But the person who chose this path 20 or 30 years ago is not you anymore. Your values have shifted, what you want from your days has changed, and wearing a career that fits who you used to be is a very particular kind of tired. In this episode, Kavita walks you through the three honest steps that finally move you forward when your career no longer fits your midlife career transition, drawn from her own reinvention and the women she has coached through the same crossroads. **In this episode, you'll discover:** - The one honest question you have to answer before anything in your career transition can begin to change, and why staying busy is how most women avoid it - The real fear that is keeping you exactly where you are, even though you already know you want to move, and how naming your specific fear returns your power back to you - Why fast external fixes leave you in a new version of the same unhappiness, and how getting to the root cause through your Ikigai and reason for being becomes the way forward Press play to name what no longer fits, face the fear that has been keeping you there, and take the first honest step toward the next chapter that is truly yours.
