150. Necessary Endings: Knowing When Something Has Run Its Course
At mid-career, not all endings come from things going wrong.Sometimes, on the surface, everything still looks fine.The role is stable. The work is good. You’ve built experience, reputation, and a sense of identity around what you do.And yet, underneath that, something begins to feel different.Less energising. Less meaningful. Less alive.In this episode, I explore the idea of necessary endings. The

147. Is Your Job Draining You – Or Is It Just Three Meetings?
In this episode, I explore a simple but powerful idea: when we feel drained at work, it’s often not the whole job that’s the problem.It’s specific parts of it.Drawing from Chapter 13 of Write Your Career, I introduce the four dimensions of balance: Time, Energy, Attention, and Purpose. While most conversations focus on time, it’s often energy that tells the real story. You can work fewer hours and

What happens to your sense of identity when your job title no longer fits?In this episode, I explore a question that sits quietly underneath many mid-career decisions: If I changed careers… who would I be?For many of us, our work becomes a shorthand for who we are. Over time, our job title can start to carry more weight than it should, shaping how we see ourselves and how we introduce ourselves to
145. Can You Afford a Career Change?
Money is one of the biggest concerns in career change, but it’s often the least clearly understood.In this conversation with Michael Georgiou, a chartered accountant, we explore the financial fear that sits behind so many career decisions.

141. How to Think About Your Career When You Don’t Have a Plan
In this episode, I explore a different way of thinking about the future of your career, especially when the path ahead feels open or uncertain.Many mid-career professionals feel pressure to have a clear long-term plan.

139. The Invisible Career Scripts Shaping Your Choices
In this episode, I explore a quiet but powerful idea: the invisible career scripts many of us follow without realising.These scripts are the stories we inherit from family, education, workplaces, and professional cultures.
