    When Career Change Feels Impossible: What's Really Holding You Back Mar 05, 2026
    Show notes

    Ever feel trapped in work that doesn't fit, convinced certain career paths just aren't for you? Aaron spent over a decade believing he'd "tried law and failed" when he'd never actually tried at all, while Steph kept fitness as a side hustle because she believed "you can't make money in fitness." Their breakthroughs reveal how the biggest career obstacles aren't external barriers—they're the limiting stories we tell ourselves, and why questioning these beliefs can unlock careers you thought were impossible.

    What you'll learn

    • Why limiting beliefs about career failure often prevent us from pursuing paths we never actually tried
    • The feedback exercise that reveals what everyone else sees about your potential (that you can't see yourself)
    • Why reaching rock bottom in your career is often the clarity you need to question false limitations
