In this episode, I’m inviting you to listen to a very unique and, in many ways, unexpected career unfolding. My client Niamh is a musician and, as we jokingly called her, a career ‘returner’. After many twists and turns, using the holistic process, she found her way back to her first love - music.
We will discuss:
-How Niamh’s identity as a musician was initially built upon external validation and how it eventually lead to creative, emotional, and physical burn-out.
-About the disconnect between dreaming big and taking action. Niamh shares how she needed to learn to build a bridge toward her vision by taking the small daily steps.
-We talk about her transformed relationship with energy and how she’d feel tired all the time until she learnt how to work with her mind and how she developed a life-changing skill of questioning the thoughts she used to take for granted.
-We also speak about resistance - and how she realized how sometimes she mistook basic resistance towards something new as her intuition not to pursue things.
-We discuss breaking the rules and giving ourselves permission to create new landscapes. For Niamh, it was about recreating the musical landscape - which was in her words one of the most liberating experiences.
As per usual, please listen till the end as Niamh has THE BEST advice for those of you seeking to change OR, perhaps similarly to her, return to an old career flame.
This is such a value-packed and inspirational conversation, hope you enjoy it!
ABOUT NIAMH:
