Thinking about a career change but feeling uncertain about what’s next? In this episode, we’re diving deep into the emotional and strategic side of career transitions—how to navigate self-doubt, embrace the unknown, and move forward with clarity and confidence.
But here’s the twist: I’m not the one leading the conversation this time. My wife, Sienna Farris, flips the script and interviews me! We talk about her own career pivot, the challenges of stepping away from a familiar path, and how to redefine success on your own terms.
We cover everything from the anxiety of change, the power of rest, and networking in a way that actually feels good—to building a career that aligns with your values and what truly energizes you. If you’re in the middle of a transition (or thinking about one), this conversation is packed with insights to help you move forward.
Your next chapter isn’t just about finding another job—it’s about designing a life that fits who you are now.
