*Just changed careers, and suddenly feel like a beginner again?* This is for professionals navigating imposter syndrome and an identity crisis after a major career pivot. You haven’t lost your confidence—you’re just becoming someone new.

🎯 *This episode is for you if you're:*

• Mid-career and second-guessing your value in a new space

• Wrestling with imposter syndrome after changing roles or industries

• Struggling to translate past expertise into present confidence

• Quietly grieving the version of yourself you used to be

💡 *In this reflection, you'll discover:*

• The *hidden emotional cost* of reinvention

• Why *humility, not confidence*, is the first step toward growth

• How *connection outperforms credentials* when you're starting again

• 3 mindset shifts that rebuild trust and clarity after an identity shake-up

Because this isn’t just a new job.

It’s a new rhythm.

And what you’re building now… is a new self.
