Career Reshaped Episode 3: Feeling Lost? How to Find Clarity and Purpose in Your Career
What if reshaping your career isn’t about following a set roadmap, but about listening closely to what truly matters to you?
In this episode of Career Reshaped, we dive into the real challenges of finding work that feels fulfilling—not just busy work or a paycheck, but a career that aligns with your values and purpose. It’s about defining success in your own terms, rather than the expectations others set for you.
You’ll hear how overcoming personal barriers—like fear, doubt, and uncertainty—is an essential part of this journey. Sometimes that means making tough sacrifices and saying no to distractions, so you can focus on what truly drives you. And sometimes it means leaning on mentors or trusted guides who can help you gain clarity when the path feels unclear.
This episode is for anyone standing at a crossroads, unsure if their next step is the right one, or feeling the pressure to fit into a traditional mold. It’s a reminder that your career doesn’t have to look like anyone else’s, and that embracing the unknown can lead to growth and unexpected opportunities.
If you’ve ever wondered how to find a career that’s not only successful but also meaningful and enjoyable, this episode offers practical advice and heartfelt insights to help you take that leap.

| 01:25 | with a reach |
| 01:30 | we're your hosts natasha pauling and today we're going to be discussing |
| 01:35 | one of the obstacles when it comes to identifying what is the right career for |
| 01:42 | you that's right yes and |
| 01:46 | we thought a great way to dive right into this topic is to share a story |
| 01:51 | because we feel that a lot of you would resonate |
| 01:54 | with a lot of the ups and downs of this story and it will touch a lot of topics |
| 01:58 | that we can delve deeper into for you that's right now this story probably has |
| 02:04 | more ups and downs than most this is a good one to talk about because |
| 02:09 | it will show people that it's okay if they got a few ups and downs |
| 02:13 | but the story talks about a particular individual now |
| 02:17 | for privacy reasons we are going to change |
| 02:20 | their name and we are going to call her what are we calling her today natasha |
| 02:28 | sophia oh sophia |
| 02:31 | love it so sophia |
| 02:34 | let's let's talk about her personality she's a very extroverted very social |
| 02:40 | um a happy go lucky individual highly intelligent |
| 02:46 | she's educated but even the education side of things didn't go so smoothly she |
| 02:52 | is an entertainer by nature she loves to sing and dance |
| 02:55 | and perform and that is something that initially she wanted to do as her career |
| 03:00 | and got into a course in |
| 03:04 | music and drama i believe but realize that |
| 03:09 | look potentially this is not going to be a path that's |
| 03:13 | going to bring me |
| 03:15 | enough income to survive it's a hard one to break into i |
| 03:20 | understand so she had moved into a business course |
| 03:23 | instead this does not mean that she's put her |
| 03:27 | drama aside she does this as as a side hustle and |
| 03:33 | yeah yeah she has that fulfillment for her passion |
| 03:36 | is still there and you know and that's the thing |
| 03:39 | a lot of people don't realize is that a career is it's not all black and white |
| 03:45 | that you can have other things in your life it's not just about work and i |
| 03:49 | think absolutely don't realize that oh hang on not everything i do needs to be |
| 03:54 | about career and not everything that i do needs to |
| 03:58 | give me an income well that's right and it's |
| 04:02 | one thing that we always say is you still need your passions and if |
| 04:07 | you're able to do them as a side hobby |
| 04:11 | absolutely do them and we always say that yeah your career needs to be going |
| 04:15 | but so does your life they need a move together and if they're not and if |
| 04:20 | you're just putting all your passions back here and all the things that make |
| 04:23 | you excited like for sophia was being in theater and being actually on |
| 04:29 | stage there'll be a big gap missing |
| 04:32 | unfulfillment so keeping that going is really important well i know she jumped |
| 04:37 | around a lot she jumped around between events and administration roles |
| 04:43 | and not only did she jump around between these roles but she |
| 04:47 | jumped around cities and countries and industries as well and within industries |
| 04:53 | too that's right so |
| 04:56 | she just couldn't sit still in one place she just it was like an itch like a fire |
| 05:02 | under her and she did not feel any fulfillment with anything and i feel |
| 05:07 | that she thought oh okay i'll move cities |
| 05:10 | well i'll move countries and i'll be happy |
| 05:14 | then yeah that'll be that'll be the golden ticket that's what's going to hit |
| 05:17 | the spot that's it or i'll move industries and i'll work for this |
| 05:21 | industry no it's not the role it's just the industry yeah i'll be happy then or |
| 05:26 | i will live here it'll be an adventure i'll i'll get a lot of skills in six |
| 05:30 | months in one year and then it will give me the steps to go there |
| 05:36 | and you know sometimes though that could be right for you that could |
| 05:42 | be sometimes it is just changing industries changing locations for some |
| 05:46 | people that is the right way to go but unfortunately for sofia |
| 05:52 | it wasn't and do you know why it wasn't there was actually a really um |
| 05:58 | a good reason actually why wasn't because sophia never took the time |
| 06:04 | to sit and really think about what |
| 06:07 | what would fulfill her she never took the time to think |
| 06:10 | what do i like she was always in a rush to get something she felt that if she |
| 06:16 | wasn't working she was a failure and if she wasn't working in a certain |
| 06:20 | type of role she was a failure and she cared a lot about what others thought of |
| 06:24 | her but the thing is you're not living your |
| 06:27 | life for others you're living your life for |
| 06:30 | you and there is no timetable there's no right or wrong |
| 06:35 | we all have our own paths and we all everything comes at the right time for |
| 06:41 | you i mean let's let's look at you and me natasha i mean i am four years older |
| 06:46 | than you but you got married before me you |
| 06:49 | had kids before me yes |
| 06:52 | if you were going to go by society then technically we knew first i should |
| 06:57 | have waited my turn that's right |
| 07:00 | but i when you were getting married |
| 07:05 | at that age that you got married that was not |
| 07:10 | i that was not even an idea in my head it's not something i wanted you got |
| 07:14 | married what 25 at 25 i was traveling and i was and |
| 07:20 | that's what i wanted to do i wanted to travel and that's just everybody's |
| 07:24 | different everyone has their own stories everyone's unique and you go to figure |
| 07:28 | out what is right for you what is the path |
| 07:32 | you want what excites you and just like you said with sofia she never sat down |
| 07:36 | and really i guess analyzed herself and her wants and her needs so she |
| 07:43 | met this woman and they were talking they're talking about their careers and |
| 07:46 | she was saying how she's a pilot her husband's a pilot |
| 07:50 | pilot tell me more |
| 07:54 | you know well let's let's hear this and as she decides to |
| 07:59 | learn about the industry she realized this is it this is me because let's look |
| 08:04 | at the things that sofia likes sophia likes travel she can't sit still |
| 08:09 | but she also wants a challenge she wants to have |
| 08:15 | some sort of pride in the work that she's doing because as we said earlier |
| 08:21 | she did care what people thought about her life and where she was going and |
| 08:26 | what she was doing that's right she got a bit of pressure from her family |
| 08:31 | um but also i think just being raised with this |
| 08:35 | societal stigma about |
| 08:38 | you know where one must be in life in order to be |
| 08:43 | deemed as a success and and success is so different for |
| 08:48 | everyone and and it is a shame how society |
| 08:52 | does categorize some things but it's was really good that you know |
| 08:58 | sofia met this person and opened her eyes to a few other possibilities |
| 09:03 | well this is this is right right and the thing is |
| 09:06 | when you think about a pie that you think |
| 09:09 | this is not someone's mid-life crisis change |
| 09:12 | you think that this is something that you learn |
| 09:15 | um |
| 09:18 | it's hard studies and something you learn in your 20s now |
| 09:21 | the thing is even getting in wasn't easy getting into the course into the studies |
| 09:26 | so there was a number of tests that |
| 09:30 | you have to do that i had no idea but i'm glad that there is because i mean |
| 09:34 | you're trusting your life with something it's not easy but |
| 09:39 | the thing is the test i know i would fail i would never become a pilot no |
| 09:42 | matter how much i would love it and then a few other tests and |
| 09:47 | then the last test was a simulation exam now the thing is |
| 09:53 | according to what sophia was telling me pilots also say the same thing that the |
| 09:57 | simulation is not really true to what a it is like flying a plane so they don't |
| 10:02 | think it's a really great or fair measure because the tiniest little tap |
| 10:07 | the plank goes this way in the simulation but that's not reality it |
| 10:10 | takes a lot to move the plane to tip it to the side |
| 10:14 | she bought this simulator and practice for six |
| 10:18 | months at home so that's dedication that's when you know that this is |
| 10:21 | something that you're really really interested in doing and you have |
| 10:25 | that passion it takes so many of your boxes you're going to go that extra mile |
| 10:30 | to get there you're not going to give up and this is a hurdle that does come up a |
| 10:35 | lot though when people think oh you know what this is going in the too hard |
| 10:38 | basket i failed i can't make it i can't do it even though it sounds like the |
| 10:43 | perfect job for me they just give up but it was really |
| 10:47 | likely that sofia didn't and that she said she bought the simulator that's |
| 10:51 | right and one you know i'm sure that wasn't a cheap exercise |
| 10:55 | no it wasn't so you know and i think if you listen to |
| 10:59 | our first podcast we talk about um we're touching |
| 11:03 | a few topics briefly and obviously as we continue with this channel of ours we're |
| 11:08 | going to we'll dig deeper in each each topic and break it up but one of the |
| 11:12 | things was was those sacrifices that one needed to make |
| 11:16 | um and when i mentioned before that there was with there's a will there's a |
| 11:20 | way and the thing is that nothing is black and white |
| 11:24 | you can make things work for yourself you just got to figure out |
| 11:28 | how to do that what steps i need to take so for sofia she's still worked so she |
| 11:33 | got a job and she she signed up with a contract |
| 11:36 | that she knew was only like a short-term contract but she was able to earn an |
| 11:42 | income she had some savings and she borrowed a little bit |
| 11:47 | so she was able to do certain sacrifices make certain sacrifices |
| 11:52 | and still study and live her life in the meantime |
| 11:56 | nothing was on pause yeah yeah still |
| 12:00 | so friends still did the theater in the background as well kept her passions |
| 12:05 | going so i mean this is a woman that has a lot of energy |
| 12:10 | so she's a little bit of an energizer bunny so she's able to cramp a lot in in |
| 12:14 | a day i i remember seeing her calendar once and it was just back-to-back things |
| 12:20 | but that's how she wanted to live her life |
| 12:23 | how what she wanted to do well this does go back to personalities right so you |
| 12:28 | got to find the right roles for you to be a pilot is not easy there's a lot |
| 12:34 | there's a lot of travel a lot of energy involved a lot of |
| 12:37 | focus that needs to go into it that's it is not for everyone and that's |
| 12:42 | the thing that if sophia sat down and really took the time to analyze her |
| 12:47 | life's dislikes passions what drives her what motivates her |
| 12:52 | this whole list that we see she would be able to see |
| 12:56 | that i like to travel i like to be social i need to be stimulated i need to |
| 13:02 | use up my energy you know i need to feel |
| 13:06 | something that i'm doing is important and valued and |
| 13:10 | of course father ticks all these boxes there's other jobs as well they take |
| 13:14 | similar this boxes but pilot is one of them and |
| 13:18 | when she did go into the course and the course was intense and she had to live |
| 13:22 | on live on campus and the |
| 13:26 | the studies the |
| 13:28 | the training she had very little sleep the diet was not the best but she was |
| 13:34 | committed yeah and and that's the whole point is that |
| 13:38 | there will be hurdles there will be things that get in the way |
| 13:41 | a lot of the hurdles are you yourself |
| 13:45 | doubting yourself thinking something's too hard to do but |
| 13:50 | as sophia showed that yeah she's been many years doing lots of |
| 13:54 | different jobs thinking this will find fulfillment thinking this is what she |
| 13:58 | wanted realizing it's not moving constantly moving |
| 14:02 | and the networking she did |
| 14:06 | helped her figure out that there was even a possibility to be a pilot and |
| 14:11 | that is like what colin was saying earlier about personality and knowing |
| 14:15 | what other jobs are out there and that is difficult for some people to think oh |
| 14:19 | accountant lawyer doctor you know the basics |
| 14:22 | to broaden your horizons and think outside of the box of what else is out |
| 14:26 | there when she did that the commitment that |
| 14:30 | went into it for here this is a |
| 14:33 | a big part of it in this particular story is the commitment and the not |
| 14:37 | giving up the dedication and the sacrifices as you said earlier you said |
| 14:43 | you know sometimes we need to sacrifice some things and for her it was |
| 14:47 | her free time she had sacrificed the whole time she was living on campus |
| 14:52 | the whole time she her friends family no she was she had to move to another state |
| 14:58 | and stay there and eat leave breathe |
| 15:03 | the qantas course |
| 15:07 | but what drove her was the the end goal the bigger picture and the |
| 15:12 | fact that well this situation is not forever |
| 15:16 | this situation is temporary and this situation is not a reflection |
| 15:20 | on the job it's these steps that i need to take to |
| 15:25 | get to the career that i want to be in this is not the career this is the |
| 15:30 | journey towards it she didn't just listen to what she was |
| 15:35 | told by the teachers but she wanted to improve her chances of passing so she |
| 15:40 | did source out mentors she did reach out to other people and that's the thing is |
| 15:45 | that you are in control of your own learning |
| 15:50 | journey you know your growth and development |
| 15:53 | and a lot of us are stuck in these i feel |
| 15:57 | like it's constantly this black and white thinking this you know i'm going |
| 16:00 | to go here and i'm going to learn this the next job i'm going to learn that and |
| 16:03 | that but you can skip certain steps as well in your career |
| 16:08 | by getting these mentors taking up some |
| 16:12 | extra courses doing reading whatever it is getting practice somewhere else on |
| 16:17 | the side you can skip ahead now she didn't do |
| 16:21 | that and i think someone told her to do that she actively sought out these |
| 16:25 | older um more skilled pilots for those extra |
| 16:30 | tips and tricks and how do i do this and what do i do where what am i doing wrong |
| 16:35 | and how do i fix it to get to that next level so |
| 16:40 | you don't have to do this if you're not interested in in growing your career to |
| 16:44 | a certain degree like some people very happy and content to be |
| 16:48 | a certain level but if you do have this ambition and you want to skip ahead you |
| 16:52 | can you can jump a few steps |
| 16:56 | you know yeah you can definitely do that and i mean i know people that |
| 17:00 | we both know some people that are happy where they are and they actually don't |
| 17:03 | want to ever manage a team they don't ever want to progress up they're just |
| 17:06 | really happy getting in doing their work they like their work it's not that |
| 17:10 | they're like oh i can you know switch off no |
| 17:13 | they actually enjoy their work and they're happy in their position that's |
| 17:16 | all they want to do and they rather do bigger things outside of work that's |
| 17:20 | great you know yourself that well you know what is fun for you do that but |
| 17:26 | then there are others that do want to progress further and i know some |
| 17:29 | personally where they do exactly what you just said where |
| 17:33 | they find those mentors and they ask them for a coffee i've been |
| 17:37 | following you can we catch up i just want to pick your brain a little bit and |
| 17:41 | usually those people are happy to do that |
| 17:44 | because personally it's a bit of an ego boost they're happy that somebody has |
| 17:49 | been watching them and wants to pick their brain especially |
| 17:53 | if you have a connection to them so like oh you know i'm friends with with mark |
| 17:58 | and he's told me to reach out to you then then |
| 18:01 | they're also more willing to have a chat because they don't want to let mark down |
| 18:04 | and see what they do like what does a day in |
| 18:07 | the life look like what what time do you wake up |
| 18:10 | and if it's say you know a big someone that owns multiple businesses |
| 18:15 | they may say you know i wake up at 5 00 a.m |
| 18:18 | and i read the paper and or i read a chapter of a book and it could be i only |
| 18:24 | have a coffee later or i don't have coffee and just see obviously not |
| 18:27 | everything's going to align with you you know if someone said to me don't have |
| 18:30 | coffee i'd be like okay i'll talk to you later |
| 18:33 | you know that's not exactly my thing but you pick what fits your lifestyle and |
| 18:39 | thought fits you and learn from them see what they do and try to build those |
| 18:45 | habits because it's those habits and that commitment to those habits that |
| 18:51 | rewire your brain you know you start creating |
| 18:54 | different neural pathways and create new positive habits |
| 19:00 | to keep you on track in your career journey whatever that may be |
| 19:05 | and it's the same for life you know doing those things that you |
| 19:09 | enjoy outside of your career as well which is what we said earlier about |
| 19:13 | keeping those passions going what is it that i can do |
| 19:17 | that fits into my work life and family life that ticks my boxes so it could be |
| 19:23 | that you may have so many passions like oh i want to go rock climbing i want to |
| 19:27 | be jet skiing i want to do a triathlon i also want to learn how to i know skydive |
| 19:32 | it's like okay maybe you can't do all of them at once some people go a little bit |
| 19:36 | crazy and book this in and book that in but then you're letting something else |
| 19:40 | drop so you need to find a good balance and a good path |
| 19:46 | that you can actually follow but i think it's important to note that |
| 19:50 | there's no such thing as a 50 50 it's an equal balance you're never going to find |
| 19:56 | that there's always something that has to give |
| 19:58 | if you're going to start committing more energy into your career then family and |
| 20:02 | friends are gonna waddle off or you're healthy fitness my waddle off vice versa |
| 20:08 | with all of it so of course you need to prioritize what |
| 20:12 | is the most important to you and put that energy in there |
| 20:16 | so and when it comes to changing habits |
| 20:19 | it's not easy i think it's really easy for you and me to sit there like you |
| 20:23 | just got to find a mentor and change those habits no problems |
| 20:28 | that's why i think there's a book called atomic habits it's a really great one um |
| 20:32 | to read but what it talks about is how the really smallest changes can make the |
| 20:36 | biggest impacts and that's that's it you don't need to |
| 20:40 | do too much too quickly small steps will actually get you there because you |
| 20:47 | are not going to give up you it's manageable you can handle it you're not |
| 20:52 | going to get burnt out you're not going to |
| 20:55 | fail at least not fail easily when you're doing these small |
| 21:01 | changes to your life and it could just be about |
| 21:05 | reading something for 15 minutes a day so i absolutely agree and this is what |
| 21:09 | we do even in our um goal setting coaching sessions we have a big goal and |
| 21:16 | then we have little goals to achieve that big goal but then in |
| 21:21 | each little goal we have steps with a little tick box and once you take |
| 21:26 | off one step you're still far from the big goal |
| 21:31 | but it's just like you said that the little ticks little achievements every |
| 21:36 | day really |
| 21:38 | make a huge impact and moving forward you can move |
| 21:43 | yeah it's also the the positive you know that giddy feeling that you feel inside |
| 21:48 | when you have the a child you know if you brush your teeth |
| 21:53 | you get to go you know 10 minutes on my phone not that's a great reward to give |
| 21:57 | but as an example it's that reward that you get and for |
| 22:02 | yourself it's that reward of accomplishment and being proud of |
| 22:07 | yourself that you did it and that will help make those changes in |
| 22:12 | their habits and that will then help you keep moving forward |
| 22:17 | but first you need to figure out where |
| 22:19 | you're moving forward too well i guess just to sum up today's |
| 22:24 | session it's okay if you don't know what it is you want to be doing and it's okay |
| 22:28 | if you feel that what you're doing now is the wrong path for you |
| 22:33 | that's it's never too late to make a change and that's all you need to do is |
| 22:38 | give yourself the time and respect of learning and discovering who you are |
| 22:45 | and it's not something that you can do in one night you do need the time |
| 22:49 | to reflect on that and the thing is the more |
| 22:52 | as you go about doing it more ideas will come into your mind you're like oh |
| 22:57 | actually i like this as well really |
| 23:00 | dig deep like you got to have this um you know emotional connection with |
| 23:06 | yourself that can take time and once you've |
| 23:10 | unlocked all of that then |
| 23:13 | sort of step back and say well is there a story that's emerging from here and |
| 23:17 | then start researching the different roles that you feel that align with you |
| 23:22 | your values your likes your passions your skills |
| 23:27 | and then understand that position bit better see |
| 23:32 | yeah it resonates and i think you'll know |
| 23:35 | when you suck in this butterflies like i think you know then you can start |
| 23:38 | looking at what's needed what do i need what's the gaps how can i |
| 23:44 | get there and take your time there's no time frame when this needs to be done |
| 23:49 | again if you are committed and serious about making that change then |
| 23:55 | don't turn your back on it either do it as a |
| 23:59 | personal exercise for your personal self growth and development at the very least |
| 24:03 | correct absolutely it's you'll only thank yourself at the end of |
| 24:08 | it and if you do struggle you know there |
| 24:11 | are tools and and people that can help you get back on path |
| 24:15 | but if you can just take that time and do that it could be very exciting what |
| 24:20 | unravels from there hmm absolutely |
| 24:25 | this is what i did to fun my |
| 24:28 | korean hr literally this |
| 24:32 | this method and this is the method that we've helped |
| 24:35 | many of our clients find their career paths too |
| 24:39 | yeah i mean we set out the questions for them but |
| 24:42 | the main ones that for you to start off with is what we said before your likes |
| 24:48 | and dislikes of everything of everything work |
| 24:54 | the people around you everything what drives you as a human um which is |
| 25:00 | what do you value what's important to you it could be even your what what |
| 25:06 | makes you who you are how you grew up the stories that you have from your |
| 25:10 | childhood that you this happened in the past that was interesting maybe that's a |
| 25:16 | path i want to go down or you met someone when you were a kid and doing |
| 25:20 | this process starts bringing up old memories and stories and can really open |
| 25:27 | that up for you and makes you realize everything that's |
| 25:31 | happened has made you who you are today and where you're going and if you're not |
| 25:35 | happy with where you're going if you know what now that i'm looking at this |
| 25:39 | list i'm not happy with who i am today you can start implementing changes and |
| 25:45 | if you are happy it's like well you're happy to stay where you are today or do |
| 25:50 | you want to move forward or sideways or maybe backwards |
| 25:54 | you never know let's see and just so you know |
| 25:58 | final point there is no right or role on that list |
| 26:02 | if you value something then you value it |
| 26:06 | if this is important to you then it's important to you |
| 26:10 | it doesn't matter if it's not important to someone else or someone says really |
| 26:16 | that's that's what you value no we don't share this list with anyone |
| 26:21 | this is between you and you yeah absolutely don't listen to others |
| 26:25 | just that's when things get really messy when |
| 26:28 | you start listening to too many people especially when |
| 26:33 | they maybe don't know you well enough or they don't |
| 26:35 | know about about careers or life or anything they |
| 26:40 | don't know you so you do you like i've said in the very |
| 26:44 | beginning of this is that you're living for you not for others and |
| 26:49 | the thing is when people are giving you advice there's usually a biases behind |
| 26:53 | it either don't want to see you succeed or have fear for you |
| 26:59 | and worried for you to make these changes or have their own |
| 27:03 | perceptions and predispositions to things and and they're putting it on |
| 27:07 | onto you that's them that's not you only you know |
