In this episode…

To every working woman, you’re not alone in the guilt you feel when you try to reinvent yourself and make your next big career move. You think you have to climb a career ladder, hopefully punch through the glass ceiling, and keep climbing. Now you’re about to make a big career decision, but you fear that you’ll fall off the ladder if you do. 

Here’s the truth: there’s no ladder. Career changes today are universal and an adventure with many twists and turns. But it requires new tools, strategies, intentions, and investments because career navigation has become more complicated. What are these tools, systems, and investments? 

Listen to this episode of the Inspired Insider Podcast with Dr. Jeremy Weisz featuring the Founder of Reclaim Your Career, Jess Begen Galica. They discuss the guilt successful women deal with and why they feel lost, why women need feedback mechanisms to navigate their careers, how to begin significant career change safely, and more.
