EP148 How to find the courage to switch careers mid-life with ADHD coach Brooke Schnittman

Are you stuck in a job that doesn’t fulfill you–but the thought of making a big career change feels impossible?

 

When your career isn’t meeting your needs, it’s easier to blame dissatisfaction and burnout on your own mental health issues.  Because you’ve invested so much time and energy to get where you are. Why can’t you just be happy with what you have?

 

But feeling trapped and uninspired blocks the energy you need to make a meaningful career shift without losing everything you’ve worked for. 

 

I’m talking to Brooke Schnittman, host of SuccessFULL with ADHD podcast about our parallel decisions to exchange traditional teaching jobs for the scary and unknown world of coaching. We talk about how we broke free from the golden handcuffs, leveraged our unique strengths and built careers that truly light us up. 

 

You’ll walk away with a clear understanding of how to respond to your own ever-evolving needs with an open-mind so that you have the courage (and cojones) to invest in your own dreams.
