We've been taught to focus on career skills, sidelining what truly ignites our soul. Feeling stuck in your career? This isn't a mid-life crisis, and you don't need to quit your job tomorrow. This realization is a moment of rediscovering the light within you and paving the path to fulfillment and true authenticity.
In this episode of the Mindful Life Changes Podcast (formerly known as the the Mindful Career Change), host Valerie Mekki, helps listeners rediscover what lights them up inside with an uplifting affirmation and unpack the guilt of spending time on this quest of discovery by replacing it with curiosity and excitement. We'll explore how those passions outside your nine-to-five can lead you closer to your authentic self. This isn't just about chasing dreams; it's about carving a path that resonates with who you truly are.

Formerly known as the “Mindful Career Change Podcast,” I decided to broaden our conversation to cover all life transitions, not just our careers.
