Many people I work with tell me they feel “stuck” when it comes to making their next career move.

But usually, once we start talking properly, that’s not really what’s happening.

More often, they’ve just been carrying the weight of the decision on their own for too long.

Trying to think their way to certainty.
Going round in circles.
Overanalysing every option.
Second-guessing themselves.

And because the decision is an important one, they put even more pressure on themselves to get it “right”.

Which usually makes clarity harder, not easier ...and so the overthinking continues.

This is really common in mid-career, because career decisions are rarely just about work.

They’re about your life, your energy, your future, your responsibilities, your identity, and what you want your next chapter to look like.

Sometimes the most helpful thing is having the space to pause and think clearly again.

To step out of the mental loop for a moment.

To properly untangle what’s underneath all the pressure and overthinking.

And reconnect with what actually fits who you are, and how you want your life to feel now.

If this feels familiar and you’d like to talk through your next career move properly, feel free to drop me a message.

Sometimes the hardest part isn’t knowing something needs to change in your career.

It’s trying to work out what that change should be on your own.

You go round in circles.

One day it feels clear.
The next, you’re second guessing everything.

You look at roles.
Scroll through job descriptions.
Try to picture yourself doing something different.

But nothing quite hits the nail on the head.

Or it does for a moment,
and then doubt creeps in.

So you keep thinking.
And thinking.
And thinking some more.

This is really common.

Not because people aren’t capable of working it out,
but because they’re trying to do it all in their own head.

With no space to step back,
say things out loud,
or have someone reflect things back to them.

It’s very easy to stay in that loop.

And after a while, it starts to feel like the problem is you.

When often, it’s just the way you’re trying to approach it.

If this is where you are right now, you’re very welcome to message me if it would help to talk it through.

When I hear this line now, I think about the mid-career itch so many people I speak to describe.

You’re good at what you do.
It pays the bills.
There’s nothing obviously wrong.

And yet…

You can’t quite picture yourself doing it for another 5 or 10 years.

I often hear clients say their current role was never really ‘the dream’,
just something that made sense at the time.

And now they’re starting to question it.

Maybe you already have an idea of what you’d rather be doing.

Or maybe it’s more of a feeling
that something about this doesn’t quite fit anymore.

Hard to ignore.
And not always easy to put into words.

If this has been on your mind lately, you’re very welcome to message me if it would help to talk it through.

You can be going through a career change
and hardly anyone around you would know.

You’re still showing up as normal
Getting through your days
Keeping everything looking “fine” on the outside

At the same time, you might be having conversations with people you’ve never met before
Joining Zoom calls
Completing online assessments
Preparing for interviews

And underneath all of that, there’s a lot you’re trying to make sense of

Weighing up what feels right now
How you want work to fit into this stage of your life
What your next step might look like

All while trying to carry on as normal.

It can feel like a lot to carry.

If this feels familiar, it’s often what happens when you’re trying to work things out on your own without the space to properly think it through.

If this is where you are right now, you’re very welcome to get in touch if that would be helpful.

I heard someone on the radio joking that they love doing puzzles…
but work keeps getting in the way.

I imagine we’ve all got our own version of that.

It’s not really about puzzles.

It’s the things you enjoy
the things you keep meaning to try
the things you imagine yourself doing when life feels a bit more “together”.

The ones that never quite make it into your week
or get pushed to “maybe when things calm down”.

And then when you do have time, you’re that bit too tired to start anything new anyway.

It’s easy to brush that off as normal.

But when it keeps happening, it’s usually pointing to something about how your work fits into your life.

Because those things aren’t just little extras.
They’re the life you’re working for.

If this has struck a bit of a chord, it might be worth giving it a bit more attention than you usually would.

And if you’d like to talk it through properly, feel free to drop me a message.

If this year has started to feel like it’s drifting a bit…

Here’s a simple tool I use with my clients to help them find a bit more direction:

Imagine it’s 31st December…
and you’re looking back on the year you’ve just had.

What would make you think,
“that was a year well lived”?

Not just what you achieved,
but what you did with your time.

The experiences you had.
The memories you’ll be looking back on.

What you said yes to.
What you stopped putting off.

That bit of distance has a way of clarifying what actually matters.

The priorities worth committing to.
The things that deserve your energy.
The areas where you want to feel a bit more steady or grounded.

From there, it often becomes clearer what might be worth changing in your day-to-day routines, habits and ways of working.

You don’t need a full plan.

Sometimes a thoughtful starting point,
and the willingness to adjust as you go,
is more than enough.

Save this for when you’ve got 10 minutes to think it through.

With all the footage and photos of the reunion gigs doing the rounds, it’s hard not to feel nostalgic…..and some serious FOMO!

The stadiums are packed, the bucket hats are back, and the atmosphere’s clearly electric as thousands of fans belt out every single word to every single song.

have always been so much more than just a band - their lyrics and messages around self-belief, being yourself and persuing your passions make them a genuine source of inspiration to many!

I bet more than a few people in those crowds are doing what they’re doing now because those lyrics shaped how they think - helping them see things differently, dream bigger, tune out the opinions, criticisms even the expectations of others, and go after more.

Lyrics both Liam and Noel continue to write, sing and live by (and let’s be honest, that’s working out pretty well for them - what they’ve created is nothing short of incredible!)

So here are just a few of my favourite lyrics that get you thinking about your life, identity, self-belief, and going after more.

If you’re feeling unsure about what’s next, these are for you!

Let me know which one’s your favourite or any others we need to add. ⬇️

…Oh and, if you happen to have a couple of tickets going spare for one of the gigs in September, I’d be more than happy to take them off your hands! ☺️

My friend once said something that has stuck with me ever since…

“Don’t ignore what makes you envious - it’s trying to tell you something important about what you actually want for yourself.”

I’d never thought of envy that way - as something helpful, something to explore further.

Growing up, envy was something you didn’t admit to feeling. You were meant to feel happy for others, grateful for what you had, and leave it at that.

And while I still believe in gratitude and being happy for others, she helped me see that envy has a role to play in shaping your life for the better.

Because what you’re envious of on the surface might not be the full picture.

It could be the freedom, fulfilment, or impact it represents.

💡 It can highlight unmet needs or unspoken ambitions - quiet clues about the person you want to become and the life you want to create.

💡 It can reveal what you truly care about - helping you tune into the kind of life, work, or impact that feels most aligned with who you are now.

💡 It can act as a powerful motivator - sparking energy, new ideas, and courage to make a change or take a brave next step.

So the next time you feel it, don’t ignore it. Ask yourself:

✨ What exactly am I envious of?
✨ What does it reveal about the life or career I truly want?
✨ What’s one small step I could take to move closer to it?

Sometimes, envy is simply trying to remind us that more is possible.

Feeling envy is natural - what you do after you’ve felt it is a choice.

Have you ever made a change or new choice because of envy? I’d love to hear in the comments. ⬇️

“I looked at the next few steps on my current career ladder and thought… nah!”

Someone said this to me recently, and it had me smiling and nodding along - I’ve had a few of those “nah” moments over the years.

It’s funny though, saying “nah” can sometimes sound like a throwaway reaction, like you haven’t really thought it through.

But more often than not, it’s the first, honest sign that something isn’t right.

It’s your intuition speaking up, telling you something important before fear, pressure, or overthinking has a chance to do its thing!

So it matters.

For me, creating a happier life starts with creating a happier career.

And that means fewer “nah” moments because your path has been intentionally shaped to fit who you are today, who you want to become, and the lifestyle you want to create.

💬 If the words in the quote had you nodding along, I’d love to know more about your “nah” moments in the comments. ⬇️

*************************************************

Or maybe you’re now considering the next step on your current career ladder and have found yourself thinking, ‘nah’?

If so, I’d love to help you step off the ladder and find a new path that actually feels right.
