35. Listening to Your Gut & Finding Clarity in a Career Transition with Lindsay Martinez
<p></p><p>In this episode, I sit down with <a target="_blank" href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/lindsay-j-martinez/">Lindsay Martinez</a> to discuss her journey from corporate consulting to finding fulfillment in her bridge jobs, and as a career coach. We cover important topics like recognizing when to leave a corporate job, that a bridge job is nothing to be ashamed of if it helps you get where you want to go, and how to listen to your gut while navigating career and personal life changes. In the episode we cover:</p><p>* What is a bridge job (it’s not just being a barista or bartender!) and why it’s actually a strong move to take a bridge job over rolling into another full time, high stress position.</p><p>* How to get clear when to leave your corporate job? Hint: if the option is a mental health facility or quitting- it’s time to quit.</p><p>* How to handle pressure from friends and family when you and your partner have different career trajectories, and they question their caliber just for having different career values.</p><p>* Practicing listening to your OWN gut more than you listen to other people’s opinions of what you should or shouldn’t do. After all, it’s you, not them who has to show up in your career for the next 40 years. </p><p>* We play my new game: “What’s your dirty little work secret?” where Lindsay shares a frankly hilarious and embarrassing thing she <em>should</em> have known as a consultant but…didn’t.</p><p>Brave and willing to <a target="_blank" href="https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSesumvZvkd4MBkfZIm-dTFi8TIsZ-T7bt6SodDqxH_OgcIm2g/viewform?usp=sf_link">share your embarrassing work story</a> so we can all feel a bit better about the dumb sh*t we do at work? Don’t worry, all stories remain anonymous- <em>neither</em> of us wants to get a call from your boss.</p><p></p><p></p><p>If you’ve enjoyed these career chats: <strong>tell a friend</strong> <strong>about </strong>Professional Life Crisis, and even better, <strong>subscribe</strong> on Youtube!</p><p></p><p>Thanks for being here 🫶🏼</p><p>-Amanda </p><p></p><p></p> <br/><br/>This is a public episode.
