For some of us it can be as exhilarating as riding a roller coaster, for others who used to the certainty of life, this crossroads presents a conundrum.

Embracing Change and Possibilities In Mid-Life Career
Change, though often intimidating, is an inevitable part of life when navigating the next chapter of their career in mid-life. For women over 40, the professional landscape may seem unfamiliar, and the prospect of change can be both exciting and daunting. However, this juncture offers a unique opportunity to explore new horizons and redefine our personal and professional trajectory.
The Power of Intuition In Career Transitions
At the heart of navigating this transition in women' s career, is the power of intuition. Defined as “the ability to understand or know something immediately without the need for conscious reasoning”, our intuition can become our ally and compass guiding us toward more fulfilling and aligned career and personal choices. It's that inner voice, often drowned out by the noise of external expectations, that whispers insights and nudges us toward paths that resonate with our true selves. It’s our inner knowing that calls us but through logic we so often ignore and turn with hindsight to “if only I had listened to my gut”.
Unconscious Mind and Career Decisions in Midlife
Accompanying our intuition is the often-overlooked force of the unconscious mind when making midlife career decisions. Our thoughts, beliefs, and desires, deeply rooted in the subconscious, play a pivotal role in shaping our decisions. Doing what we think is expected of us by our loved ones with best intentions with the knowing or feeling that we are capable of so much more.
Understanding how the mind works in tandem with intuition is key to unlocking the full spectrum of possibilities that lie ahead.
