Episode 183: Here’s Your Permission to Start Your Career Over and Create a Life You Dream Of with Chelsea Turgeon

You can start your career over. The hardest part? Giving yourself
permission to do so.


So many people have this idea that they’re in too deep. They’ve
invested too much time or schooling into something, and that it’s
too late to start over. In this episode, Karolina talks with
Chelsea Turgeon about how she pivoted from one of those
professions most never pivot from – (a doctor!) – to start her
own 6-figure business that allows her to travel the world.


Chelsea has been on the show before, but Karolina is bringing her
back to share her personal journey. Even more fun is this episode
was recorded in Norway where they’re traveling together! Chelsea
talks about the sunk-cost fallacy, the future of the job
industry, and the power of salvaging - not the past, but the
future. 


Beautiful, there are so many “shoulds” in this life. You should
have a white picket fence. You should have alcohol, because
that’s what normal adults drink. You should be employed by a
“stable” employer. But what’s more secure than owning your own
financial independence?


IN THIS EPISODE:


The sunk-cost fallacy, in which people are reluctant to
abandon their careers because they’ve invested too much – and
Chelsea’s better way to approach it

Chelsea’s inspirational story: leaving her career as a
doctor, buying a one-way ticket to South Korea, and launching her
coaching business helping people find their dream careers

Ways in which we normalize misery, and having the
intentionality to step outside of that and ask some bigger
questions like: why are we doing this?

How to use what you’re currently doing to leverage time (and
money) to start your new passions, plus the fallacy of “job
security”

The future of jobs, and how many won’t be recognizable to us
today due to technology – and the importance of updating our
thinking about what’s possible

Tips and tricks to cover the cost of travel, from renting
your house to staying in a place longer than a few days
