Episode Synopsis

Our careers are deeply personal. Not only do we spend about 40 hours per week in our chosen career, there is usually significant preparation and planning that goes into choosing that career. It’s also normal to envision the type of life you’ll have as you progress in that career. 
But careers, like most things in life, rarely go as planned, particularly when you’re a first gen professional who is learning to navigate the workforce without that generational knowledge that many of your colleagues have. That means that plans change. And when a plan that you were deeply excited about changes, it’s normal to grieve. 
In this episode, I talk about grieving the career you thought you would have. Even if the new path you’re taking is exciting, it’s normal to feel multiple, often conflicting emotions. You have to hold space for all the emotions, even the ones that aren’t super fun.
