Clearing Out Your Career Closet: Making Space for Your Midlife Career Move

Friday Jan 10, 2025

Ever looked at a closet full of clothes and thought, I have NOTHING to wear!? Well, your career after 50 can feel the same way.

You’ve got decades of experience, skills, and accomplishments—but somehow, it all feels… mismatched, outdated, or just not you anymore. 👀

Here’s the thing: just like your closet, your career needs a good decluttering now and then. Roles that don’t excite you? Toss them. Skills that no longer fit your goals? Donate them to the past. Mindsets that hold you back? Girl, those gotta go.

In this episode of This Woman Can, we’re tackling how to:

Assess what’s working in your career (and what’s not).
Declutter those old, ill-fitting roles and beliefs.
Make space for a fresh, fulfilling new chapter—tailored just for you.

It’s time to build a ‘career wardrobe’ that makes you feel fabulous, confident, and ready to slay this next season of life.

Tune in now—and let’s clear that career clutter together!
