#170: How leaving the wrong job opened the right door for Cara-Lyn Giovanniello
“Don’t confuse comfort with alignment. Just because something is familiar, stable, or impressive on paper doesn’t mean it’s meant for who you’re becoming or what the universe has in store for you.”
What happens when you land the job that seemed perfect only to find, deep down, it isn’t right at all? In this episode, Cara-Lyn talks about the daunting process of leaving a high-profile role that simply wasn’t a fit, and how that closed door became fuel for reinvention.
From wrongly ignoring her intuition, through the physical toll of staying somewhere misaligned, to finally making the leap into entrepreneurship Cara-Lyn shares how being forced out was the best thing that ever happened to her. Now, she’s built a thriving leadership development business, continues to grow, and is on a mission to help others trust their gut and step into possibility.
If you’re in a period of transition or questioning your current path, this conversation is well worth listening to.
“Trust your intuition and don’t confuse comfort with alignment. Ask yourself who do I want to be on the other side of this transition? The hallway between closed doors is your moment to decide who you become.” Cara-Lyn Giovanniello
