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 I was looking for a career change right now, I wouldn’t spend a moment applying to jobs online. My background is a mix of consulting, customer success, finance, bizops, marketing, and now entrepreneurship… it’s pretty difficult to craft a compelling narrative using a resume alone. If you’re also a generalist or pivoter reshaping your career, you already know: the online application game is not in your favor. (Frankly, it's not in anyone's favor). And if you’re ready for a career change but...

A single mindset shift changed the course of my career: Back when I first started questioning if my career path in consulting was the right fit for me, my mindset was all over the place. I often found myself thinking… I’d have to take a paycut if I leave I’m not qualified for anything else I’ll disappoint my mentors here I don’t have another network I’m too much of a generalist Here’s what changed: I remembered that I'm the CEO of my career. aka I'm the final decision-maker with the power to...
