Think about your "why" and go from there, and informational interviews are a great way to learn more about other career paths!

Make sure you look out for red flags when searching for a new career/role. Sometimes they are harder to pinpoint.

I've taken a career leap, and this is a super personal decision. My advice: do it afraid. It can seem scary to put yourself out there, try something new and you may even have limiting belief about your ability to do it. I say, GO FOR IT, anyway. When you're most afraid to take "the leap," that's usually a good sign your headed in the right direction. It's better to try than not to try at all. Be patient with yourself and trust the process; you'll find your landing. Use your intuition as your guide, pray/meditate then slay! You've got this.
