Julia Moore, MBA’s Post

In the middle of a career transition feelings are loud. I am never going to find a job.  I am falling behind.  I am too much.  I am not enough.  I am no longer valuable.  This is taking too long. These are feelings.  They are real.  They deserve acknowledgment, but they are not facts. A fact is what is actually true when you put it on paper. Your skills.  Your experience.  Your track record.  Your financial runway.  The number of applications sent.  The number of conversations had.  The actual timeline versus the one your anxiety created. Feelings tell you a story. Facts show you reality. In an uncomfortable season those two things are rarely the same. One of the practices inside the RISE Reset Workbook is getting both down on paper. The purpose is not to dismiss the feeling or toxic positivity your way through it. It is the opportunity to reveal the full picture to yourself instead of just the one your nervous system is broadcasting on full volume. When you can see the landscape clearly, you can navigate it strategically. Put it on paper. See what is actually true and move from there. #RestoreAndRise #BlackWomen #CareerTransition #RISEResetWorkbook #Reframe #BlackWomenInLeadership
