Ever been in career limbo? I have...


I’ve spent years in “career limbo” — that uncomfy place just before making a career change, where thoughts cycle between:

  • This role is no longer it for me
  • Idk exactly what I want next
  • I don’t want to pick the wrong thing
  • I guess I can just wait it out…

* Keeps scrolling LinkedIn * 🫠

My fellow high achieving generalists, can you relate?!

When you crush whatever’s put on your plate, it’s easy to aim for perfection.

If you search for that PERFECT next role, you believe you could “mess up” and there might be a wrong move…

which leads to taking no real action at all.

Good news: You cannot mess it up!!!

Especially if you have a clear process to get ultimate career clarity that aligns your values, superpowers, interests, and income goals.

I recently caught up with my client Nicole who was in career limbo before we worked together.

She was so over her job and searching for career clarity after 6 years in consulting & tech, ready to find work she was excited about again. She said:

"It sounds cliche, but after working with Katy I have felt a weight lifted around finding the "perfect" job. If I am moving closer to what I think I want (and that might change, and that is ok!) it is a worthwhile move.

My overall outlook on job changes has shifted as well, where I think about opportunities with much more excitement and curiosity rather than trying to find a perfect needle in a haystack. This has really drastically changed how I view my career - it is much more fun and exploratory just by making this mindset change!"

Within a few months, Nicole was invited to join the Venture Studios team at her company. This unexpected opportunity aligned ~perfectly~ with her career goals and objectives. It's funny how releasing perfection can help you get much closer to it!

If you too are ready to get out of career limbo, this is divine timing 😊

I’m looking for 5 generalists with 7+ yrs of experience who are ready to get clarity on their career path & transition into their next career chapter in the next 3-6 months.

DM me “READY” on LinkedIn to chat and see if it’s a fit.

If you want to start a new role before February, it's time to get serious. Over the past 2 years, I've helped over 140 generalists get clarity on what lights them up, their professional superpowers, and translate that into an energizing career that gets them well-paid by the market (yes, even in 2025).

On a coaching call this week, one of my clients said: "It's not that what I want feels so far away. It feels like it's just out of reach." immediately had aa mentalimage of him Rstanding, arms long, fingers stretched out, reeeaaachingtoward his gnext career goal But his feet firmly planted in where he's been, WHO he's been. Almost as if they were rooted there, stuck to the ground. His fingers came up empty, grasping only air. The thing is: We're not trees. We can uproot ourselves & replant...

I’m on a plane again… As a full-time digital nomad this is nothing new I love planes because they’re portals. You can close your eyes and wake up in a new city, a new continent, a new culture. I love to reflect and ideate in the sky — somehow big goals feel way more possible. (do you do this too?) Just now, I was reflecting on everything I said yes to in November. It's about to get more than a little WILD in my world 🤪 Here's what's going down: → Nov 1st We kick off the 21-Day Massive...
