"So I had to pay attention to what am I naturally drawn to and what excites me. And I kept filling myself on the side with those things. So those are the whispers that you're, even if you're not naturally intuitive, pay attention to what excites you and what you gravitate towards." — Kim Costa

After 27 years doing accounting in a family construction business, Kim knew she was good at her work. But being good at it wasn't the same as feeling fulfilled. Pursuing a master's in accountancy seemed like the sensible next step, until a moment in a classroom made her question the future she was preparing for.

Here are 3 reasons why you should listen to this episode:

• If your career looks successful but feels increasingly disconnected from who you are, hear how Kim recognized the difference between filling a role and doing work that suited her.

• Discover how the interests you keep pursuing outside work might offer clues about what you want from your next chapter.

• Hear what preparing for a career change can look like, including simplifying your lifestyle, planning for an income gap, and finding support before making the move.

Kim Costa is the author of Live in Your Wheel House and a top 5% realtor with 27 years of experience in residential design and construction. Her work explores how your home can support your current stage of life and the person you want to become.

"Sometimes what changes in our lives doesn't begin with having the whole path figured out. Sometimes it begins with finally saying yes to the next step."

This week's "At her Career Crossroads" insight comes from myself in this solo episode.

Here are 3 reasons why you should listen to this episode:

• If you're accomplished in your career but suddenly finding it difficult to decide what comes next, I explain why the questions you're asking at this stage of your career may need to change.

• You'll hear why having more information isn't always the answer when you're weighing several good options—and how getting clearer about who you are can help you make a decision that fits you.

• I share three questions you can ask yourself when you're at a career crossroads and aren't sure what should come next. They'll help you think differently about who you are now, the decision in front of you, and where you go from here.

Dr. Robin Owens is the host of Leadership Purpose with Dr. Robin, where I explore how high-achieving women navigate career crossroads, the decisions they face, and what comes next.
