Have you chosen an exciting new career path, one that truly lights you up...only to start questioning if you made the right move when it doesn't unfold smoothly or quickly? You're not alone!

In this week's episode, we're exploring why an aligned vocation can still feel uncomfortable or rocky in the early stages. And how to tell the difference between normal growing pains versus true misalignment.

I'll also share how I navigated feeling like an imposter and reclaiming my confidence when reality didn't match my expectations. And what I did to course correct and find more ease, joy and flow as I built skills and structured my ideal business model.

We'll discuss some key signs that your discomfort may signal just growing pains, not necessarily overall misalignment:

  • You still feel excited by the work itself, just doubting your abilities
  • Part of you knows it aligns with your core motivations
  • The path resonates, but your approach feels off

Plus, strategies to recalibrate HOW you're walking this purpose path in order to feel re-inspired:

  • Examine unconscious expectations around the timeline
  • Check where you’re using outdated models versus aligning with your own rhythm
  • Get radically honest if this still deeply resonates with your soul

Even when you're headed towards your North Star, the journey itself will likely involve some stormy seas, please don't get discouraged!
