Episode 19: The Challenges of Charting Your Own Career Path

Episode Notes

This is the second part of the conversation with Christine Browne-Munz and Tanuja Ramchal. In this episode, they explore the challenges that come with charting your own career path and how to deal with them.

Here's what's covered:

  • Christine shares the reason she chose to walk away from the "safe" and popular path even though that felt scary
  • Understanding employer-employee power dynamics at play in order to take a stand for your needs/values and have empowering (and sometimes difficult) career conversations

  • The importance of exposing yourself to multiple work environments as a student

  • Why systems and institutions require you to operate in fear mode in order to maintain the status quo and what you can do to break the cycle
  • Choosing a career that aligns with your needs and values is not necessarily an easy path and why we need to normalize discomfort and loneliness as part of that process
