Career Pivots, Belonging & Identity: Why Your Path Doesn’t Have to Make Sense
Description
What happens when your life doesn’t follow the path you thought it would?
A conversation on identity, belonging, and the courage to build a career that doesn’t look right on paper but feels right in your life.
In this episode of Psychologically Speaking, I’m joined by coach and podcast host Fiorenza Rossini to explore identity, belonging, and the unexpected turns our careers can take. From financial engineering to full-time coaching, Fiorenza shares what it means to step away from “safe” career paths and build a life that aligns with your values.
We talk about the psychology of belonging, multicultural identity, working parenthood, and why so many of us feel like we don’t quite fit until we find the right spaces.
If you’ve ever questioned your career, your direction, or where you belong, this conversation will feel like a deep exhale.
We cover:
- Career pivots and “non-linear” success
- Identity shifts (especially motherhood and work)
- The psychology of belonging and community
- Why traditional paths don’t fit everyone
- What actually drives fulfilment (hint: not just money)
