12. The imposter's struggle through career change with Greg Bodin

12. The imposter's struggle through career change with Greg Bodin

I was once told that in one lifetime, you can have many different experiences, many different careers. You can live many lives in one life. I LOVE this message so much…this statement has really given me the freedom to choose, to change, to go where my heart and my compass leads me. And I would say that this mindset describes my own career path—I’ve switched career paths several times now and each of these experiences have only made my ability to adapt greater, my perspective that much richer…but the transition and the change itself never really gets easier, per se.

This scene plays out again and again and again throughout the entire movie. Because, it’s Groundhog Day. And, unfortunately, for Bill Murray, the day repeats itself over and over and over again. There’s no changing it. There’s no response he can make that will move him forward in time. He’s. Just. Stuck.

This is the movie that Courtney Bilton so very much relates to…She’s a mom of 2 young children, who last year around this time was preparing to return from her second year-long maternity leave.

In this episode we are going to talk about rules. Rules are this ubiquitous word that we use to describe something we must or must NOT do, and usually we try to follow them. Sometimes the rules are not so obvious and the very thoughts we have in our head can become very rule-like. Our guest today--her name is Jessica Zielske , she is going to share about how she learned what her rules were in the first place and how she broke some of those rules by searching deeply within herself to realize that the marriage she was in wasn't what she wanted after all.
