Many leaders reach a point where the business they built has worked well, and the next chapter asks them to step forward as the face of their own ideas.
This week on The UpLevel Podcast, we welcome Dr. Nancy Dome as she opens up about navigating a major career transition and what comes next. She came into this coaching session wanting clarity and one next step, while also being honest about the fear and uncertainty that come with making her own body of work the focus.
Together, Dr. Nancy and Christie name the voice that questions her, which she calls Ricky, and make room for the very real fatigue that can come after years of building a business. Then Dr. Nancy explores her transition through two very different perspectives: "aspiration" and "sushi." As she speaks from each perspective, something shifts; her energy changes and new possibilities begin to surface.
We’ll also “brain-dream” a list of possible next steps, and she closes the session by imagining herself stepping across a line, naming what she is ready to let go of and what she is ready to say yes to.
It’s a powerful look at what can happen when we give ourselves permission to see a transition from a different perspective.
In This Episode:
- How to find clarity during a career transition
- How to respond to imposter syndrome and the inner critic
- How changing perspective gives you access to new ideas and energy
- How to choose small actions and build accountability that fits your life
- Why naming your inner saboteur can change your relationship with it
- Why "sushi" became a powerful metaphor for Nancy's next chapter
- The importance of reconnecting with the things that give you energy
- What it means to step across a threshold and choose possibility
