Making a career change while dealing with workplace anxiety? I get it. After 12 years at Amazon, I left my six-figure corporate job to start my own coaching business鈥攁nd the fear was intense.

Here's the hard truth: there are no guarantees. Companies reorg. Managers change. Projects get defunded. But you know what you can guarantee? You.

In this episode, I break down why fear shows up during career transitions and how to move forward anyway. Whether you're stuck in a toxic workplace or just ready for something new, this episode gives you the roadmap.

Key Takeaways:

聽聽聽聽聽聽 Fear during job changes is totally normal and healthy

聽聽聽聽聽聽 Your "why" behind the change matters more than the fear

聽聽聽聽聽聽 You have to start taking action while you're afraid

聽聽聽聽聽聽 Stop trying to control what others think

聽聽聽聽聽聽 "Today I'm going to do it afraid" (love you, Elise Myers!)

The biggest mistake? Waiting for fear to disappear. As a career coach, I see this pattern constantly. You are your own guarantee. Trust yourself to figure it out.
