Holly Dixon spent 20 years in the legal field, never once argued a case, and walked away without a single job lined up. She is still happening to her career and figuring out what comes next.
Most career change episodes on this show share a complete story from start to finish. This one does not.
This episode is the messy middle — the experiments that did not work, the grief nobody warned her about, the identity crisis that came from letting go of 20 years of who she thought she was, and what she has learned about living in uncertainty on purpose while still moving forward.
What You'll Learn:
Why the experimenting is not the detour on the way to clarity and how every experiment Holly ran gave her specific, useful information she could not have gotten any other way
What happens to your identity when you walk away from a 20-year career and why grieving who you used to be is not a sign something is wrong
How Holly co-created a four-month exit plan with her boss instead of giving two weeks notice and why that approach set everyone up for success including herself
Why the survival instinct that tells you to just pick something and get back to work can be one of the biggest obstacles to actually finding what fits
What living in uncertainty on purpose looks like in practice and how it becomes a skill you can build rather than a personality trait you either have or you do not
