Career Change After 40: When’s the Right Time to Pivot?

Have you been ignoring the rattles in your career for a while?

In this episode of Joy at Work, I answer a heartfelt listener question: “When is the best time to change careers after 40?”

If you're over 40 and feeling that something's just... off — like you're driving a car that no longer fits the journey you're on — you're not alone. I talk through the quiet warning signs that we so often ignore, and the real cost of waiting too long to make a change.

Midlife career change isn’t about starting over. It’s about tuning up, resetting your GPS, and taking the next small, intentional step.

🔧 You don’t need to burn it all down — but you do need to lift the bonnet and take a look inside.
