EP 96: Feeling Unqualified? How to Learn New Skills to Fast‑Track Your Career Change [Part 7]

Your resume gap isn't the problem. Your skills gap isn't the problem. Career change during motherhood isn't the problem.

The problem is that you don't know which skills to prioritize or how to find time to develop them while managing family responsibilities.

In this episode, I'm sharing how to transform skill development overwhelm into strategic career momentum. From identifying transferable skills you already have to creating a micro-learning approach that fits your busy mom life—you'll learn to develop the 1-3 core skills that matter most for your career change.

And the best part? You can do this without burning out or sacrificing what matters most to your family.

I'm walking you through the exact 3-step process: the Hidden Skills Audit to uncover capabilities you've developed through motherhood, strategic research to identify your core skills gap, and a micro-learning approach that works within 15-30 minutes daily.

These strategies won't just help you learn new skills. They'll empower you to:

• Finally tackle the career change you've been avoiding for months
• Shift from "my skills are outdated" to "I have transferable strengths" and "I have a capacity to learn"
• Make consistent progress without overwhelming yourself
• Build demonstrable competency in core skills within 3-6 months
• Gain the confidence in your target field
• Stop cycling through ideas and start taking action

If you're ready to stop letting life just happen to you and want to confidently take your first step toward meaningful work that aligns with who you are now, this episode is for you.
