222: Finding Clarity and Confidence After a Career Shift – Missy Gets Coached

In this heartfelt episode, LauraAura speaks with Missy Cayley, a former high school counselor turned entrepreneur, about navigating life’s big transitions. Missy shares her journey of stepping away from a 24-year career in education, overcoming the “midlife mind junk,” and finding alignment in her new role as a business owner. Together, they explore the challenges of letting go, embracing uncertainty, and the power of trusting the timing of life.

Key Takeaways:

  • Trusting Your Timing: It’s never too late to make bold moves. Missy’s story exemplifies how life’s timing often aligns perfectly when we listen to our intuition.
  • Navigating White Space: Transition periods can feel uncomfortable, but they also create opportunities for growth and clarity.
  • Momentum Over Perfection: Focus on the progress you’ve made rather than constantly pushing for the next milestone.
  • Reflecting on Wins: Acknowledge and celebrate weekly accomplishments to remind yourself of the momentum you’re building.
  • Defining Success on Your Terms: The shift from “helping others” in a traditional role to creating impact through entrepreneurship is possible with intention and clarity.

Listener Reflection:

  • Have you ever felt stuck in a routine and longed for a major shift?
  • How do you embrace the uncertainty that comes with change?
  • What practices help you reflect on your progress and celebrate your wins?

 

Action Steps:

  1. Take a few moments each week to write down your wins and accomplishments.
  2. Post this affirmation somewhere visible: “I can never be too late for the ideas that are right for me.”
  3. Explore ways to align your work with your passions—start with one small action.
