The Weight of the Unknown: Why We Fear Career Change (and How to Push Through It)

Published 1 month, 3 weeks ago
Description
At some point in your career, you’ll face a decision that forces you to choose between what you know and what you don’t. In this episode of In The Know with Tony Reeves, I break down one of the biggest obstacles professionals face at career crossroads: the psychological weight of the unknown. Drawing from my own journey—from running my law firm to becoming a judge—I share how fear, comfort, and bias toward the “known” almost kept me from preparing for a life-changing opportunity.   You’ll learn:
  • Why we naturally favor the “known” (even when it limits us)
  • How failing to prepare for opportunity creates unnecessary stress
  • The real way to evaluate career decisions (it’s not what you think)
  • Why every decision is the “right” decision—if you own it
  • How to turn both success and mistakes into career leverage
If you’re facing a career pivot, considering a new opportunity, or stuck between comfort and growth—this episode is for you.
