Should have had this 5 years ago when I retired from the Army! Then again, Covid had sprung its ugly head and the resources I looked to didn’t really know how to get us through that…

That being said, really appreciate your information – something anyone looking to go from a 9 to 5 job to being self-employed could definitely use.

I feel like I’m standing right at the edge of this same space, knowing something needs to change, but not fully seeing what’s next yet. I need to find a job and have been out of work for the last 6 years. I don’t even know where to start. It is very scary, but it helps so much to hear that it’s not wrong to feel that way, and it’s just part of the process. I loved how you said that I don’t need the whole plan, I just need the next honest step. Thank you for putting words to something I’m quietly getting ready to walk through myself. This came a the perfect time for me!

Clarity entails awareness and honesty, pausing and reflecting. It can become a daily practice as we move forward in the New Year!

I think a lot of midlife professionals quietly reach this moment where they feel misaligned, but they also feel stuck because they think they need certainty before they move. I love how you explained that clarity often comes after movement, not before it. The questions you suggested around energy, values, and what we are no longer willing to tolerate were especially helpful and realistic. Thank you for putting words to what so many people feel and for offering a gentle next step that does not require a leap.
