#14. How Type 9s (and Type 2s) Can Navigate a Career Change From the Inside Out
Episode description
Since I'm the Queen of Career Change (and finally landed on my true calling/ dream business), I thought I'd bring Hope Cook onto the show to help all my fellow empaths with the internal, emotional, and even spiritual process of making a big shift in your career.
Hope is a Type 2 on the Enneagram (also known as "The Helper"), so she's very familiar with what it's like to pay constant attention to the needs, desires, and voices of others-- to the point where you risk losing touch with your own inner voice and wisdom.
Hope is a life coach, a part-time Physician's Assistant, and the podcast host of Recharting Your Life with Hope, which helps women move from deep dissatisfaction in their career/ life to a more satisfying job or even a dream business. (In fact, I was actually a guest on her podcast twice -- discussing my prior business in episode #30 and my current astrology practice in episode #116.)
In this episode we discuss:
- Hope's unexpected and honest reaction to her first Astrology reading ever
- How culture and environment encouraged Hope to disconnect from her inner voice
- Her personal journey from being in denial of her true feelings and longings, to a slow-growing awareness of her discontentment, and finally, to creating a more fulfilling career
- Why following curiosity and joy thrusts you forward in your career, even if there's no clear path and no guarantees
- How to trust the process of career transformation despite a sense of urgency for change
- What surprises Hope most after interviewing so many people about making a career change
- Distinguishing between the voice of your Inner Wise Woman vs. Internal Manager
- How your soul speaks to you through your body
- Tips for empaths and gentle souls who want to make a major life shift
