Manage episode 447078266 series 2849828
Midlife can often feel like a crossroads where career progression shifts from exciting endeavors to navigating office politics and mundane tasks. But what if you could transform this phase into one of profound fulfillment and purpose? Join me, Carla Hudson, as I share insights and personal anecdotes on the Purposeful Career Podcast about how shifting our perspectives can breathe life back into our careers. Discover how societal pressures push us into ticking off life milestones without truly shaping the latter half of our lives. We’ll explore how to identify and overcome the four common perspective traps that can hinder our satisfaction and fulfillment, and learn to realign our focus towards what truly matters.
As mid-career leaders, we often grapple with feelings of regret and gratitude, wondering about roads not taken. Let’s turn that reflection into appreciation for the richness of our current journey. I’ll share my own story of transitioning from a blue-collar background to a fulfilling career, highlighting the importance of finding lessons in our experiences. We’ll discuss practical strategies to maintain boundaries so that career demands don’t overtake personal life, no matter how passionate we are about our work. Together, we’ll navigate these complex emotions and discover how to weave seemingly trivial tasks into a meaningful tapestry that contributes to a greater purpose. Tune in to transform midlife challenges into opportunities for personal and professional growth.
