The Hidden Emotional Traps of Career Change No One Talks About, with Michelle Schafer

Career transitions can feel overwhelming, especially when the old role has ended and the next step is unclear. In this episode, career coach Michelle Schafer shares practical guidance for navigating uncertainty, rebuilding confidence after job loss or redundancy, and creating a clear strategy for your next move.

Drawing from her own experience as a two-time restructuring survivor, Michelle explains why progress often feels invisible during a career change, how to manage the emotional ups and downs, and why clarity and planning are essential for regaining momentum. You will learn how to define work that gives you energy, align with organisations that reflect your values, and avoid the common mistake of unfocused job searching.

This conversation is especially valuable if you are feeling stuck in the in between of a career transition, questioning your direction, or struggling with confidence during a job search.
