<p>Searching for a new role is rarely joyful. Add children, mortgages, relocation, and a 25-year career in one industry… and suddenly midlife stuckness feels very real.</p><p>When Dom Salomoni found himself job hunting for the first time in decades at 48, he didn’t spiral into panic-mode hustle. Instead, he designed a six-month runway. He invested in mindfulness. He redefined success for this stage of life. And he built what he calls his <strong>North Star</strong> — a clear, non-negotiable definition of what work needed to give him now.</p><p>This conversation explores what midlife professionals rarely say out loud:</p><p>The fear. The ego wobble. The identity shift. The quiet recalibration.</p><p>Lucia Knight unpacks the emotional and practical strategies that helped Dom stay steady — and why midlife job search isn’t just about getting hired. It’s about designing work that matters.</p><h3><strong>What This Explores</strong></h3><ol><li data-list="bullet"><span class="ql-ui" contenteditable="false"></span>Why midlife job search feels different (and heavier) than early-career moves</li><li data-list="bullet"><span class="ql-ui" contenteditable="false"></span>How a defined runway reduces panic and protects your thinking</li><li data-list="bullet"><span class="ql-ui" contenteditable="false"></span>The power of mindfulness over frantic productivity</li><li data-list="bullet"><span class="ql-ui" contenteditable="false"></span>Creating a North Star that reflects who you are now — not who you were at 38</li></ol><br/><p>Structuring your days so rejection doesn’t define your worth</p><p>Midlife job search often arrives quietly — through redundancy, relocation, or simply the realization that your work no longer fits.</p><p>If this conversation resonates, share it with someone navigating their own stuckness. You never know who might need a steadier way forward.</p><p>And if you're ready to design work that truly fits this season of your life, you can learn more about working with me here: <a href="https://www.midlifeunstuck.com/work-with-me" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> </a><u><a href="https://www.midlifeunstuck.com/work-with-me" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.midlifeunstuck.com/work-with-me</a></u></p>
