Most career transitions are messy. So is pivoting to climate action. I write about my meandering, messy journey of moving to climate work over the last two years.
So well documented, the ups and downs of a career shift are never easy. The "why" is the most important aspect of it. You've done so well in two years of your "shifting time". I took a lot more years but happy to have found my space as well. Very relatable journey and kudos for taking the leap! We need as many on this train as we can :)
Sailee,what a honest and real journey . I used to read on and off your NL and started incorporating little changes in my daily habits(for a toddler at home, so time constrains). I have been mulling some life decisions and your post gave me such a clarity on what to do next. I am sort of jealous of you that you took such a clear and brave decision at such a young age.
You are an incredible storyteller. I’m on my 3rd career transition and this one finally resonates. I have now subscribed to follow your journey and look forward to hearing where you meander off to next.
This just came out at the right time. I had been meaning to document my transition, but couldn’t get myself to.
I have found the Communities part in my new career the hardest, personally. And secondly, coming to terms with that fact that the thing that earned me money was going to be different - so at any given point, I might be balancing 2 acts - one for money & the other for myself. Atleast, for now. My journey only just started, so part of the process. 😊
Apologies for a long message
but your post really hit home and got me reflecting on my own journey. 😊
This is the best thing I've read all week, Sailee! What a wonderful journey, and so well captured. This resonated completely - "I’d mostly always done what I was good at, never giving much thought to what I wanted to do".
More power to you... You are doing important work, and you're killing it!
Such an engaging read, Sailee despite being long-form, it held my attention throughout. It takes real courage to step off a thriving, familiar path and follow your heart into something unconventional. Wishing you all the strength and success ahead!
