A test-and-learn approach to transforming your career can bring freedom and flexibility. It liberates you from the pressure of committing to a specific path upfront while helping you discover what is appealing and feasible. This method of 'flirting with our possible selves' allows us to explore new identities until we find one that aligns with our values, interests, and skills.

Navigating a career transition can feel like wading through a swamp—both sulfuric and messy but also beautiful, surprising, nourishing, and full of growth.
