137. Three Questions to Help You Rethink Your Career

In this episode of the Mid-Career Change podcast, I explore three gentle signs that something in your working life might be asking for attention — and what those signs are really telling you.

January is often a moment of clarity. With a bit more distance from your usual routines, you start to notice things you might have brushed aside during a busy year. But recognising these signs doesn’t mean you need to make a big career change. More often, they’re early signals worth listening to — hints that something wants to grow, shift, or come into focus.

In this short, reflective episode, I share three of the most common signs I see in my coaching work:

• Something feels “off” — a sense that a task, expectation, or part of your role is no longer in step with who you are.
• You’re craving more energy or meaning — noticing where you feel most alive in your work, and where you don’t.
• You’re imagining other futures — those small, curious “what if?” questions that surface when your identity is starting to stretch.

For each sign, I offer a simple writing prompt from my new 30-day course, Write Your Career, to help you interpret what the sign is pointing toward. These questions aren’t about pressure or dramatic decisions. They’re about clarity — about hearing yourself more clearly and reconnecting with what matters.

Whether you’re feeling stuck, quietly restless, or simply sensing that something in your working life might need attention, this episode gives you a gentle, practical way to explore what’s going on beneath the surface.

And if you’d like to work through these prompts more deeply, the Write Your Career course is available now at the January launch price of £49, with or without one-to-one coaching.
