Feeling stuck or unsure how to move into your next career chapter? In this episode of The Pivot Point, I’m joined by career transition coach Michelle Schafer to talk about identity, limiting beliefs, and why networking is one of the most powerful tools for career growth.

If you’re navigating a career pivot, questioning your readiness, or wondering what’s next, this conversation will help you see your experience differently and take ownership of your path.

What if the biggest thing holding you back in your career isn’t your skills, but the way you see yourself? In this episode, I sit down with career transition expert Michelle Schafer to unpack identity, ownership, and the power of networking.

Michelle shares her own journey from financial services to not-for-profit to coaching, including how she navigated multiple restructures, reframed limiting beliefs, and built a roadmap for intentional career transitions. We talk about why you don’t need to wait for permission, a title, or a promotion to start owning who you’re becoming.

We also explore the real role networking plays in career growth, why it’s not just for job searches, and how small, human conversations often outperform online applications. Michelle offers practical reframes for common limiting beliefs like “I’m not qualified,” “I don’t have a network,” or “It’s too late for me.”
This conversation is honest, practical, and deeply encouraging. If you’re feeling stuck, quietly questioning what’s next, or navigating a pivot, this episode will help you see what’s possible when you take ownership of your career path.
