In the last episode of the year, I have the honor of chatting with an inspiring career changer & manifestation maven - Sarah. Sarah's gone through the holistic career change process & found herself in a multipotentialite portfolio career - having carved out a very unique space for herself. In many ways, she's a trailblazer & an example of what's possible when you choose to boldly lead with creative spirit, emotional intelligence, and alignment—even within rigid tech spaces not set up for authentic expression. In the episode we will chat about uncompromising self-advocacy to shift workplace culture to the leading edge, refusing to mute intuition or hide true colors for the comfort of others. Sarah will also expand on the magic that unfolds when you stand firmly in your integrity and heart-wisdom, ushering in the new paradigm of working & living. This was such a fun episode to record. Sarah has this joyful, light yet wise presence - and my hope is that you'll feel inspired hearing her story just as I did. ABOUT SARAH Sarah is a creative spiritualist who is devoted to understanding herself, so that she may understand everything else. She is on the path of radical self-acceptance so that she may create the most beautiful reality possible. Sarah's favorite feeling is being inspired by someone; so she is deeply honored when she is able to do the same.

While Nina’s story is very unique in the way that it unfolded and how she found her aligned career, many of her fears, and inner conflict that she experienced along the way are very common amongst career changers.We will discuss:what it felt like working in real estate and how despite the potential in the industry - showing up for it felt very challenginga personal traumatic experience that turned out to be a catalyst for change in both - Nina's personal and professional lifea new perspective on grief and how to transmute and reimagine itthe moments of peace, lightness and expansion she gets to feel now that she started walking an aligned career path...and so much more.Nina has a lot of wisdom to share and my hope is that you will enjoy and appreciate her grounding & healing energy and get inspired for your own career transition!ABOUT NINANadjalisse “Nina” Rodriguez is founder and host of the Grief and Light Podcast, which she created following the unexpected loss of her brother Yosef in 2019.   She has since forged a path to address the silence surrounding sudden loss and the reality of life as a griever.   The Grief and Light Podcast has evolved into a powerful platform highlighting stories of loss, grief and life thereafter, as well as amplifying the voices of those making meaningful impacts within their communities.   Beyond the airwaves, Nina extends her support by offering monthly virtual grief support meetups, one-on-one grief support sessions, illuminating the path forward for those facing one of life's most challenging moments. Website: www.griefandlight.comIG: @griefandlightEmail: nina@griefandlight.com1:1 Grief Support (12 weeks): https://www.griefandlight.com/heart-to-heartBook a Discovery Call: https://calendly.com/griefandlight/heart-to-heart-discovery-callOther ways to work with me: https://www.griefandlight.com/workwithmePodcast: Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2FI3TSz9wPBYu8Eymdegaj?si=738e6ba3d7514922Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/grief-and-light-podcast/id1680003901Other Platforms: https://griefandlight.buzzsprout.com/share ABOUT VILMAVilma is a holistic career change coach who helps women transition to their authentic aligned careers and businesses.Join the Holistic Career Change Group waiting list (starts January 2024)1:1 coachingSchedule a free discovery call to explore working 1:1InstagramFollow Vilma on Instagram @vilma.usaite

This week we are analysing the anatomy of giving up.In the episode, we will be discussing:Our tendency to give up too quickly on our dreams and career pursuits and how many of us have become complacent and, at times, even entitled to manifestations. How our need for instant gratification affects long-term change efforts.The unpleasant, challenging feelings we will inevitably experience as we explore the edges of our possibility and how to coexist with those feelings versus allowing them to take over.The evolution of the human brain and what time inconsistency has to do with it.How aligning our frequency with desires is just one side of the equation - the other being inspired action.The importance of self-awareness, curiosity, and taking ownership of your actions and outcomes.This episode is a little more fiery than usual because my goal is to ALWAYS remind you of the untapped potential inside of you.Vilma is a holistic career change coach who helps women transition to their authentic aligned careers and businesses.Join the Holistic Career Change Group waiting list (starts January 2024)1:1 coachingSchedule a free discovery call to explore working 1:1InstagramFollow Vilma on Instagram @vilma.usaite

I'm very excited to share another career change story with my client Julia.We will discuss:-about her years as a registered nurse and what her every day felt like-how she made a decision to pivot which coincided with her moving to Europe-how she broke into the film industry - without speaking the language - and what steps she took which eventually led her to a paying job she has now-how she was learning to not just think but also FEEL out what alignment felt like in her body and how to discern what’s hers and what’s not-what she learnt during her career change journey and what’s her advice to those of you still on this journeyIt's such a unique beautiful story.

In this episode, I’m inviting you to listen to a very unique and, in many ways, unexpected career unfolding. My client Niamh is a musician and, as we jokingly called her,  a career ‘returner’. After many twists and turns, using the holistic process, she found her way back to her first love - music. We will discuss:-How Niamh’s identity as a musician was initially built upon external validation and how it eventually lead to creative, emotional, and physical burn-out.-About the disconnect between dreaming big and taking action. Niamh shares how she needed to learn to build a bridge toward her vision by taking the small daily steps. -We talk about her transformed relationship with energy and how she’d feel tired all the time until she learnt how to work with her mind and how she developed a life-changing skill of questioning the thoughts she used to take for granted.-We also speak about resistance - and how she realized how sometimes she mistook basic resistance towards something new as her intuition not to pursue things.-We discuss breaking the rules and giving ourselves permission to create new landscapes. For Niamh, it was about recreating the musical landscape - which was in her words one of the most liberating experiences.As per usual, please listen till the end as Niamh has THE BEST advice for those of you seeking to change OR, perhaps similarly to her, return to an old career flame. This is such a value-packed and inspirational conversation, hope you enjoy it!ABOUT NIAMH:Niamh is an Irish musician, nature lover and sewing enthusiast, in pursuit of a creative life and career.After several years of following an exciting but struggle-filled classical music path, she took time out to gain some wisdom and perspective from the rest of the world, and to get acquainted with her self, before reentering a musical career from a place of creativity and joy.She also has a small business which combines her love of books and sewing; you can find it on Instagram and Etsy @NeevesBookSleeves.Vilma is a holistic career change coach who guides women back to their authentic aligned careers and businesses.1:1 coachingSchedule a free discovery call to explore working 1:1InstagramFollow Vilma on Instagram @vilma.usaite

This week I'm bringing you another transformational career change story. My client Michelle has come on a podcast to share her switch from the wine industry to marriage and family therapy.In many ways, her story is almost a textbook case of a career change process. She went through all the stages and phases I speak about on this podcast, she overcame massive resistance and changed some old sabotaging patterns that kept her stuck, unfulfilled,  and completely terrified of choosing a new career path.In our conversation, we also chat about just how much Michelle was paralysed to make any decision and was convinced she couldn't make a “wrong” decision at this stage of her life (sounds familiar?).We also discuss toxic relationships with work and we go into detail about those pivotal moments of Michelle's change process that completely changed the trajectory of her future. Make sure you listen till the end to hear what happened when she made a decision to commit to this new line of work. It’s so illuminating and Michelle does a wonderful job illustrating the inner blocks and protective mechanisms that kick in when we try to pivot. Enjoy!Vilma is a holistic career change coach who guides women back to their authentic aligned careers and businesses.1:1 coachingSchedule a free discovery call to explore working 1:1InstagramFollow Vilma on Instagram @vilma.usaite

This week we are exploring the emerging phenomenon of portfolio careers.Portfolio career is a fancy term for the type of careers that consist of multiple streams of income, jobs, or businesses when compared to a traditional single career path. This allows individuals to combine skills, experiences, and interests to create a diverse portfolio of pursuits that provide both financial stability and personal fulfillment.I personally believe portfolio careers are THE careers of the future and I share a story of my client Simone who has crafted an aligned portfolio of careers for herself. Have you ever thought about building a portfolio career? What streams of income, jobs, or businesses would you like to combine?

This week's episode features another mind-blowing career change story. My client Nikita has joined me to share her transition from being a dentist and owning a dental clinic to becoming an interior designer.Her career switch story has already been inspiring many others who've been considering a change. She goes into detail about the obstacles she's faced along the way, the inner work this shift required her to do, and the advice she has to share for everyone who's considering a career pivot. This is such an inspiring story of transformation that I know is going to serve so many of you.ABOUT NIKITAAfter a 180 shift, Nikita is pursuing her lifelong dream of becoming an interior designer. Just a few short months ago, however, her life looked very different. She was a dentist and burned-out owner of a dental clinic, fully living out of alignment. Her journey back to herself wasn’t easy, but it was with aligned action, intention, acceptance, and belief that she began owning her own life and waking up to her own power. Since saying yes to herself, she’s seen major shifts in her self-esteem, purpose, relationships, and marriage. Her journey wasn’t straightforward, but it has been incredibly rewarding.Instagram: @nikitainteriors***ABOUT VILMAVilma is a career change coach who supports women in finding & transitioning into their purpose-led careers.Schedule your free career consultation call:https://calendly.com/coachvilmausaite/45minInstagram: @vilma.usaiteVilma is a holistic career change coach who guides women back to their authentic aligned careers and businesses.1:1 coachingSchedule a free discovery call to explore working 1:1InstagramFollow Vilma on Instagram @vilma.usaite

We are starting the year with another magical career change story. The guest on the podcast today is my client Nicole who shares the details of her career transition journey.Nicole’s path to finding her purpose was not easy or straightforward. The majority of her life was spent in hustle, survival, and powering through harsh life circumstances. It was only this past year when she committed to finding an aligned path that her life and her gifts started opening up and flourishing. Nicole shares how she found her calling, what it feels like now, what challenges she faced along the way, and the advice she’d like to gift those of you who are at the beginning of your unfolding. This episode is a MUST-LISTEN for everyone feeling confused and isolated on their way to finding your WHY. ABOUT NICOLENicole is an elemental lightworker, photographer, nature worshiper, and mother energy to many including her grown boys. She is currently learning the Watsu modality and moving towards exiting the corporate world to be of direct service in the healing journey of others.

In this episode, we talk about the often undervalued skill of making decisions.The reason why I talk about this in a career change setting is because your success in a new fulfilling, meaningful purpose-driven career or business will quite literally depend on your ability to make a decision regarding the new path you’re about to commit to.These are the questions I'd like to invite you to journal on to master the decision-making skill:1. List all the facts (neutral circumstances) & the drama (your thoughts about circumstances) around this decision. List these separately.2. What am I afraid will happen if I say YES to this decision & commit to it? What are the consequences I'm afraid of? What will be the consequences of NOT making this decision? What will be the cost and risk of not committing to this?3. Feel the feelings that arise when you think about saying yes and saying no to this decision. What comes up when you feel the associated feelings in each scenario?4. Go to the worst-case scenario intentionally. What does my worst-case scenario look like? Get as specific as possible and then ask yourself how you would problem solve for each of those scenarios. Write out all the solutions & create backup plans for your backup plans.5. What would I do if I believed I can't make a wrong decision? How is me committing to this decision the BEST decision for my future?6. Before making a decision, ask yourself - am I regulated? Is my nervous system activated? Have I filled my inner resources (water, food, rest)? Am I calm and grounded?7.  Tune into the wisdom of your body - what is the visceral response when you think about saying yes to this decision vs saying no to it?8. If you feel stuck between two hard decisions - ask yourself what is the third option here. What is a win-win scenario that I may be overlooking?9. Additional prompts:-Would I make this decision if the results I'm after were guaranteed? Where am I not believing results are guaranteed? Who do I think is responsible for creating results?-What is the opportunity cost of this decision?  If I’m saying no to this opportunity, what am I saying yes to and vice versa?-What emotion am I trying to avoid by saying yes/no? -What would my future self say about this decision in 10/20 years and why? What would he/she do?-What decision will move me closer to who I want to be in this world?***Schedule a consultation call to take this work further:https://calendly.com/coachvilmausaite/45min***Instagram:@vilma.usaite***Not sure if you're ready to change careers yet?

This week’s episode features a very special guest - my client who is generously sharing the details of her career change journey with you all.There’s SO much healing in this episode as she is someone who represents a slower, more grounded pace of change - the opposite of what we often are programmed to envision.Do make sure you listen to this till the end as not only does she share life-changing wisdom for career changers, but we also discuss:-how career change is not an isolated event & why approaching it holistically matters-the blindspots we sometimes have around our skills which then makes it difficult to land a truly aligned career-the often unconscious division between ‘work’ & ‘play’ & how our fulfillment often lies in spaces where we allow ourselves to merge the two.…and so much more. You’re in for a treat.

In this week's episode, I'm introducing the uncomfortable, confusing in-between space of career change - the liminal space. It's not necessarily a concept I hear people speak about a lot - and yet I have been experiencing firsthand just how vital it is to understand what the liminal space of career change is and how to better prepare for it so you don't feel blind-sided when you're in the middle of it.  ***Schedule a consultation call to take this work further:https://calendly.com/coachvilmausaite/45min***Instagram:@vilma.usaite***Not sure if you're ready to change careers yet?

This week we are talking about the good old imposter syndrome. While we can expect to meet a version of it when changing careers - in this episode I'm offering you a powerful reframe of how to shift this fear and how to work with your unconscious competence.A few questions I'd like you to write down your answers to:-How have my life experiences shaped me and taught me to excel at this new career?-If I look back and start connecting the dots backwards - how has everything been leading me to this career path?-How am I already unofficially/low-key doing this or performing the tasks this career/business would entail?-What do people often compliment me on that I downplay or take for granted?-How do I feel when I think of making this career into a full-time pursuit? -How is this career essentially getting paid for being myself?***Schedule a consultation call to take this work further:https://calendly.com/coachvilmausaite/45min***Instagram:@vilma.usaiteVilma is a holistic career change coach who guides women back to their authentic aligned careers and businesses.1:1 coachingSchedule a free discovery call to explore working 1:1InstagramFollow Vilma on Instagram @vilma.usaite

This week I want to talk to you about manuals we have for EVERYTHING in our lives and how not to use them against ourselves, especially on a career change journey. Not being familiar with this concept has ruined many career change attempts. Manuals are these invisible, unwritten set of rules we might have adopted throughout the course of life - by symbiosis, being exposed to our caregivers growing up, observing our environment and following the powerful pulls from social conditioning bestowed upon us. When our relationships or processes don’t meet the rules outlined in these mysterious elusive manuals, we get upset, frustrated but, mostly, we think something has gone wrong and we need to abandon ship.That is not the case in career change journey and in this episode I explain exactly WHY and how to drop your manuals and drop into self-trust.***Schedule a consultation call to take this work further:https://calendly.com/coachvilmausaite/45min *** Instagram: @vilma.usaiteVilma is a holistic career change coach who guides women back to their authentic aligned careers and businesses.1:1 coachingSchedule a free discovery call to explore working 1:1InstagramFollow Vilma on Instagram @vilma.usaite

This week I'm stoked to bring you a new interview with one of my clients - Ashley Travassos who during our work together transitioned from being at top of her corporate career ladder as a marketing executive - to starting her practice as a holistic nutritionist. She shares ALL the details in the episode, including how and why her career change journey was particularly hard & complicated - Ashley is what I refer to as circumstantial career changer. She will also share how by luck or sheer determination & willingness to put herself out there she landed herself her first nutritionist role within months of deciding to go for this career and SO much more. We will also touch upon topics that I believe dont often get enough air time - which is feeling the grief of past lives and parts of our identity we leave behind when we decide to seek for a purpose-led career. Honestly, a must-listen for every career changer - so many beautiful insights that Ashley so openly is sharing in this episode, including what Ariel & Ursula from the Little Mermaid have to do with it.________________About AshleyAshley is a Holistic Nutritionist and Fitness Instructor Specialist (FIS) with over a decade of experience helping people reach their health goals.While teaching advanced fitness classes for years, she realized that many class participants were looking to lose weight, have more energy, and improve strength. Fitness was providing them with some benefits but they weren't quite seeing the results they were looking for. She knew that nutrition was the missing piece for them, so she decided to take her wellness expertise to the next level and sought out a formal education to learn from the leading nutrition experts.  Her passion is to merge fitness and nutrition to help people in the areas of increased energy, better digestion, and weight loss. She works with her fiance Hugo Moniz, Personal Trainer and Certified Life Coach, through their wellness business Feel the Difference with a focus on what they call the trifecta of wellness: Mindest, Fitness, and Nutrition. Ashley works to understand your unique nutritional fingerprint - what's working for you and what's not. Using a combination of advanced assessment tools to understand your body, Ashley creates a customized easy-to-follow nutrition protocol (like no other!) tailored to get to the root cause of your problems and treat the sources, not the symptoms.Connect with AshleyWebsitehttps://www.feelthedifference.caInstagram: @ashley.nutrition.fitness________________Connect with VilmaSchedule a consultation call to take this work further:https://calendly.com/coachvilmausaite/45minInstagram:@vilma.usaiteVilma is a holistic career change coach who guides women back to their authentic aligned careers and businesses.1:1 coachingSchedule a free discovery call to explore working 1:1InstagramFollow Vilma on Instagram @vilma.usaite

The more I work in career change & alignment, the more infatuated I become with this beautiful transformative experience. I believe that our quest for purpose & career fulfilment is magic & mystery above strategy. I think this process is not dissimilar to alchemy. In this process we too metaphorically transform lack of meaning into awareness, harmony & purpose. Career change is an identity shift which means that through this process we, first & foremost, crystallise the authentic self and eliminate the inauthentic parts - the old beliefs, concepts, wounds, fears & all that is in a way of achieving self-actualisation. There are 7 stages in spiritual alchemy that I’ve also come to identify within any career shift journey.  I share these with you in this episode.***Schedule a consultation call to take this work further:https://calendly.com/coachvilmausaite/45min***Instagram:@vilma.usaiteVilma is a holistic career change coach who guides women back to their authentic aligned careers and businesses.1:1 coachingSchedule a free discovery call to explore working 1:1InstagramFollow Vilma on Instagram @vilma.usaite

This week we are talking about building solid foundations within your career change journey.If you are considering a new career path - here's one piece of advice I have for you - less is more.I spend many hours of my day connecting with career changers - many of them are very eager to rush into implementing a myriad of vague career/ business ideas. They have this long list of unfulfilled wishes and a deep sense of urgency - to fulfil them all, at the same time.  As you can imagine that attitude leads to massive overwhelm. And overwhelm does NOT lead to action. It leads to procrastination, avoidance, distraction, which then perpetuates that state of stuckness and helplessness even more. That is NOT the space from which you want to be making long-term decisions regarding your future. In this episode I invite you to view your career design process in the way you'd plan to build a house from the ground up - by starting with solid foundations.***Instagram: @vilma.usaite***If you'd like help with changing career, schedule a free of charge consultation call:https://calendly.com/coachvilmausaite/45minVilma is a holistic career change coach who guides women back to their authentic aligned careers and businesses.1:1 coachingSchedule a free discovery call to explore working 1:1InstagramFollow Vilma on Instagram @vilma.usaite

This week by popular demand, I’m walking you through the symptoms of a misaligned path. You might be familiar with the emotional impact a career that you have outgrown is having on you - but what about physical symptoms?Through the years of working with many career changers, I have witnessed and collected a number of physical symptoms signaling that it’s time to shift. As you know, my philosophy is holistic which means that I will often analyse the less obvious symptoms and messages that our intricate system is sending.Listen to the episode to learn more about these symptoms and how they may be related to embodying your purpose. ***Instagram: @vilma.usaite***If you'd like help with changing career, schedule a free of charge consultation call:https://calendly.com/coachvilmausaite/45minVilma is a holistic career change coach who guides women back to their authentic aligned careers and businesses.1:1 coachingSchedule a free discovery call to explore working 1:1InstagramFollow Vilma on Instagram @vilma.usaite

In this week's episode, we are continuing the thought work conversation.I am introducing the model - the most powerful and simple tool I have encountered over the years of training and work with clients in my private practice. It's very effective in helping you clearly and schematically understand the causal relationship between your circumstances, thoughts, feelings, actions and results.You probably have often heard various teachers and literature talk about the idea of your thoughts creating your reality - but how does it ACTUALLY happen and is it even true?Make sure you listen to the full episode and also do the little love work assignment I'm sharing with you at the end of the episode. Understanding and applying  the concepts I share with you here can literally shift the direction of your life.***Instagram: @vilma.usaite***If you'd like help with changing career, schedule a free of charge consultation call:https://calendly.com/coachvilmausaite/45minVilma is a holistic career change coach who guides women back to their authentic aligned careers and businesses.1:1 coachingSchedule a free discovery call to explore working 1:1InstagramFollow Vilma on Instagram @vilma.usaite

This week's episode is an introduction to thought work - which is the very first aspect I address with every single client of mine going through a career change.A lot of our thoughts we have surrounding career change are unquestioned.  If you have a choice to think thoughts that make you question your worth, make you believe that you literally have no future and your life will be this boring small existence  OR think supportive thoughts, that remind you of what’s available for you, make you feel better about yourself, inspire hope and induce energy -  why won't you choose the latter?Tune into the episode to learn exactly how to do that.***Instagram: @vilma.usaite***If you'd like help with changing career, schedule a free of charge consultation call:https://calendly.com/coachvilmausaite/45minVilma is a holistic career change coach who guides women back to their authentic aligned careers and businesses.1:1 coachingSchedule a free discovery call to explore working 1:1InstagramFollow Vilma on Instagram @vilma.usaite

Are you one of those people who love to secretly fantasise how one day you'll hand in your resignation letter to your boss and proudly walk out of the room? I know it has definitely been me in the past and in this episode I'm sharing my advice on how to prepare for the inevitable career change.First tip - I invite you to NOT rush to dramatically hand in that resignation just yet.I cover strategies to take on way ahead of your planned quitting date and I share the most important aspects for you to work out before you even inform anyone (even your closest colleagues!) about your leaving.While in this podcast I do not usually talk about the strategies - I'm a believer that the tangibles of career change are just one-tenth of all the work a full-blown career change will entail - I'm not oblivious to the fact that we need to have a basic understanding of how to make the most out of your resignation.That is exactly what this episode is about - how to quit your job like a boss.***Instagram: @vilma.usaite***If you'd like help with changing career, schedule a free of charge consultation call:https://calendly.com/coachvilmausaite/45minVilma is a holistic career change coach who guides women back to their authentic aligned careers and businesses.1:1 coachingSchedule a free discovery call to explore working 1:1InstagramFollow Vilma on Instagram @vilma.usaite

In this week's episode we are chatting about career change and financial fears.One of the main reasons why mid-career professionals struggle with embracing the idea of a career change is their fear of having to accept a significant cut in the salary. They also fear that  they may need to 'regress' in their career and perhaps even take on a junior role in order to embark on a different career path.My take on this is slightly unorthodox - I do not believe it has to be the case. It can be, but it doesn't have to.There are ways in which a career switch can be orchestrated that does not only entail a pay cut AND may even involve a significant growth in income. Listen to the episode to learn how.***Instagram: @vilma.usaite***If you'd like help with changing career, schedule a free of charge consultation call:https://calendly.com/coachvilmausaite/45minVilma is a holistic career change coach who guides women back to their authentic aligned careers and businesses.1:1 coachingSchedule a free discovery call to explore working 1:1InstagramFollow Vilma on Instagram @vilma.usaite

In this Career-Changer Series episode, I interview the charming Lois Letchford, who went from PE teaching to becoming a reading specialist and literacy problem solver.Her journey, however, was not very straightforward one - her career change was not necessarily voluntary or intentional, at least to start with.She went from living her life as an undiagnosed dyslexic, and having to, essentially, from the scratch create principles and unique techniques to help her son, who also is dyslexic, learn how to read. The same son who was initially branded by his teacher as one of the worst students she’s seen in years - low IQ and incapable to read. The very same son who later went on and got his Ph.D. from Oxford University. A mother who didn’t give up now has laid the foundations and inspired hope in thousands (perhaps even millions in the future) of mothers and kids with a neurodiverse brain with reading difficulties.Tune in to hear this awe-inspiring story and collect your pearls of wisdom.***Connect with Lois and explore her resources:https://www.loisletchford.com/Book:Reversed: A Memoir" by Lois Letchford (Official Book Trailer) - YouTubeReversed: A Memoir: Lois E Letchford: 9781947392052: Amazon.com: BooksArticle “The Reading Teacher”https://ila.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/trtr.2038Social media:https://www.linkedin.com/in/loisletchford/https://twitter.com/LetchfordLoishttps://www.instagram.com/loisletchford/***Instagram: @vilma.usaite***If you'd like help with changing career, schedule a free of charge consultation call:https://calendly.com/coachvilmausaite/45minVilma is a holistic career change coach who guides women back to their authentic aligned careers and businesses.1:1 coachingSchedule a free discovery call to explore working 1:1InstagramFollow Vilma on Instagram @vilma.usaite

Self-sabotage is THE curse word that I hear a lot. My new clients often share that they feel like they contain this inner battle inside of them whenever they express the need to change something up, especially when they commit to embark on a career change.They share that there's one part of them that wants to transition and do whatever it takes - and then there's that other part that works hard to sabotage all and any efforts. That part is so convincing and strong that they often quit without even having started.Can you relate? If your answer is YES, then I invite you to listen to this episode where I explain what evolution and your perceived laziness has in common.I explain what resistance is, how it works and what's the purpose of it.I also share a simple 3-step process to start engaging and eventually overcoming your inner resistance to unlock the door to possibility.***Instagram: @vilma.usaite***If you'd like help with changing career, schedule a free of charge consultation call:https://calendly.com/coachvilmausaite/45minVilma is a holistic career change coach who guides women back to their authentic aligned careers and businesses.1:1 coachingSchedule a free discovery call to explore working 1:1InstagramFollow Vilma on Instagram @vilma.usaite

In this week's episode we talk about a topic that is not the most appealing - responsibility.Responsibility is about taking ownership of ALL that we have consciously and unconsciously created in our lives.

This week's episode is a little different - I’m sharing a recorded interview on a holistic approach to a career change.While in my mind taking a holistic approach is an obvious golden thread weaved into everything that I do, this interview made me realize that, unfortunately, it's still not a necessarily common approach to switching careers. So, in this interview, I share a very high-level explanation as to how I arrived at this holistic approach. I also walk through a bird's eye view process on how to uncover your career and life of alignment.

This week’s episode can change the course of your life - if you let it. The first message I have for you is that you are a liar. When you say that you ‘don’t know what’s next for me’, when you say that ‘you don’t know what your vision for the future is, what a meaningful career path would look like for you’ - you are lying to yourself and hiding from your own light. You know the answers, you simply have never practised getting quiet enough to hear them.So in this episode, I have lovingly selected and recorded 30 rapid-fire questions to help you uncover your truth. No vanilla, acceptable, people-pleasing answers. Your soul’s truth only.You’ll find all the instructions and questions inside the episode. I’m not attaching any worksheets here - the point of this exercise is to not give yourself a lot of time and capture your very first initial responses.Sending lots of love your way.

This week we look into the last puzzle piece of self-audit - your passions or your core zone of genius.I purposefully left passions and determining your flow as the last piece you need to uncover in order to get super clear on a career that would bring you the most amount of fulfilment and purpose.That is because I think your passions are absolutely important and can lead you to fulfilling work but ONLY when they are looked at in alignment with your unique strengths and core values.

Did you ever allow yourself to consider that career change could be a fun process? I'm personally a huge advocate of introducing fun and flow in virtually any topic or area of life. I believe that changing career and taking the time to inspect yourself and the options available for your future should be a FUN and empowering game. What it also should be is strategic.I am suggesting you to play and test out potential career paths on purpose and with a clear direction. How do you find direction?Firstly, by taking complete ownership of your current circumstances, and, secondly, by being willing to go through an unveiling process of self-auditing. I cover all of the above in my latest podcast episode on strategic career change fun.P.S. While recording I also unexpectedly pivoted into talking about emotional adulthood and how often we feel entitled to demand for things to change in our lives without owning the circumstances we had created up until now 🤷🏻‍♀️ #sorrynotsorry***Instagram: @vilma.usaite***If you'd like help with changing career, schedule a free of charge consultation call:https://calendly.com/coachvilmausaite/45minVilma is a holistic career change coach who guides women back to their authentic aligned careers and businesses.1:1 coachingSchedule a free discovery call to explore working 1:1InstagramFollow Vilma on Instagram @vilma.usaite

'I don't even know where to start' is a very common remark I receive when I ask future career changers as to why they had not started their career transition on their own. Even having followed popular career advice and having completed all kinds of psychometric tests, they are often still lacking in direction and understanding what career choice would bring them the most meaning. In this episode I address the very first step I advise career changers to take when seeking for fulfilling work. Resources mentioned in the episode:-'Blue Ocean Strategy' book by W.

In the second episode I am addressing a recent yet very prevalent misconception that 2021 is NOT the right time to make any career moves. I share why the exact opposite is true and how the current global landscape could not have prepared a more fertile ground for planning out and executing your transition.I also let you in on why that may not feel like true to you by explaining how our brain processes and recycles the decision making process.If you've been on the fence whether 2021 is the right time - this one is for you.

I wanted to start off the Holistic Career Change Podcast on a sobering note by cutting through all of the repetitive career change advice you are probably sick and tired of hearing and introducing you to what I coined as the 'shadow side' of career change. Having gone through my own career change journey and having supported many of my clients, I found that there are three intangible factors that need to be addressed for a career change to be successful.Tune in to learn what these are.Instagram: @vilma.usaite***If you'd like help with changing career, schedule a free of charge consultation call:https://calendly.com/coachvilmausaite/45minVilma is a holistic career change coach who guides women back to their authentic aligned careers and businesses.1:1 coachingSchedule a free discovery call to explore working 1:1InstagramFollow Vilma on Instagram @vilma.usaite
