From Nobody from Nowhere to Unapologetic Authenticity: Making the Leap, Career Transition, and Identity Shift [Ep. 19]
Manage episode 499992627 series 3634245
Have you ever felt like your title or profession was quietly dimming your light? Like it gave you safety, structure, and credibility… but also kept you from stepping fully into your truth? What if letting go of that label was the very thing that would set you free?
It’s possible to release an identity that no longer fits without losing yourself in the process. In fact, you might just discover more of yourself than ever before.
In this very personal and unfiltered episode, I’m sharing my own pivot, why I’ve retired my podcast Legal Innovation Simplified and stepped into The Freedom Pivot.
I’ll take you behind the scenes of what it’s really like to navigate the messy middle of an identity shift, when you’re no longer who you were… but not yet who you’re becoming. We’ll talk about:
- The “lampshade effect” and how titles can protect but also limit you
- Why transitions almost always require an identity shift
- The emptiness that’s actually full of possibility
- How design thinking can guide not just business building, but personal reinvention
- Why your freedom pivot might matter to more people than just you
Whether you’re a lawyer, creative, consultant, or any heart-led professional, this episode is your invitation to:
- Make space for the identity shift you’ve been avoiding
- See the in-between not as a detour, but as the path
- Trust that your work and your worth are bigger than any single job title
