166: Stop Waiting Until You Feel Ready To Create the Career You Want (You Never Will)

August 10, 2025 • Sharon Singh Sidhu • Episode 166

The truth working moms need to hear: You'll never feel 100% ready to create the career you want. The process takes time, and waiting for certainty is what keeps you stuck.

In this episode, I'm sharing the three-step method for building the self-belief and self-trust you need to start designing your career now - even when you're scared.

The career creation process takes time - waiting longer only delays your timeline. But it can feel scary to start when you don't know how it will go. I share my 3-Step Evidence Method to overcome your fears and doubts about taking the first steps to create the career and life you want.

Here's the key mindset shift to make:

If other people have the career or life you want, it means you can have it too. What's possible for them is possible for you.

Ready to Design Your Career?

It can be hard to see the old identity and beliefs blocking you from creating the career you want. This is when working with a coach who's walked this path becomes invaluable.

I help working moms design careers that support the life they want, instead of forcing their life to fit into a standard corporate mold.
