It's just your fears, organized into bullet points.

In this episode, Gloria sits down with executive coach Amelia Noel — who spent 15 years moving from journalism to advertising to consulting to investment banking before becoming a coach — to talk about why smart, analytical people get stuck in the messy middle of a career change, and what actually gets them unstuck.

You'll learn:

  • Why your pros and cons list reflects your fears and biases, not facts
  • Why your brain runs every "what if it goes wrong" scenario and almost never "what if it works out"
  • How to trade one big question ("what do I want to do with my life?") for small, testable ones that actually build evidence
  • Why a career change is always a viable option, no matter how long you've been in a role
  • Why you're not the same person who made your last career decision — and why that means you're allowed to choose differently now

If you've been waiting for more information, more certainty, or more time before you move — this one's for you.
