One of the biggest reasons smart, capable people stay in careers that don't fit is contributed to a well-documented quirk of human psychology called the availability heuristic. It states, if the only version of work you've ever known is the one you've been living, your brain literally cannot picture anything different. In this episode, we'll unpack three ways to change that without making a dramatic career shift. You'll also learn: Why thinking harder about your career options never works and what rewires your beliefs faster than any amount of reflection alone How a single 15-minute test drive conversation can expand what feels possible more than months of research or planning Why career change over 40 isn't starting over, it's the moment you finally have enough experience to do work entirely on your own terms What work can actually look like when you stop assuming it has to look like what you've always known.
