Job loss, career change, or burnout after 40 can feel like the ground has disappeared beneath your feet. For years, titles and roles defined who you were—until suddenly, they don’t. That’s the moment of the identity shift. And while it can feel overwhelming, it’s also an invitation to reset. In this post, I explore the psychology and science of why change hurts, and share a four-step framework to help you leverage your past, realign with your values, and move forward with clarity, confidence, and purpose.
In this post, you’ll discover:
- The psychology and neuroscience of why identity shifts feel so disruptive
