where boundaries dissolve

GROW 4: Career Changes Abroad: Handling identity shifts, imposter syndrome, and career change abroad.

Episode Summary

I didn’t feel confident doing an episode on “thriving abroad”, because: How could I be thriving if I’m unemployed? But I learned something about myself as I talk about my experience: I’m addicted to feeling accomplished, and the guilt of not being productive can distract me from taking a deep dive into my inner workings, necessary for orientation during change. But, many things are in place where I don’t feel like this hit is hurting me as much as it could have. Philipp, my co-host, and I unpack what thriving abroad and navigating career change means. Whether you're contemplating a career shift or seeking insights into personal growth amidst uncertainty, this episode offers new perspectives and practical takeaways for anyone on a journey of self-discovery and thriving in unfamiliar territories.
