Reshape Your Career Path: Lessons on Self-Belief and Adaptability
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
This week, I sit down with Bekah Troxell for a candid and inspiring conversation about making a truly bold career shift—from a decades-long finance and auditing career to launching her own fitness and coaching business. If you've ever wondered what it’s really like to leave the “safe” corporate world behind for something that feels more meaningful but much less certain, Bekah’s story will hit home.
We dig into the challenges of restarting when you’ve already built a successful career, the hidden ways self-sabotage and burnout creep in, and why having honest mentors and supportive partners can make all the difference. Bekah shares how a lifetime of adapting through military moves taught her resilience, why she finally took action when her job stopped feeling exciting, and the invaluable lessons gained from working with a life coach. Along the way, she reveals how learning to accept feedback—and ditching the word “can’t”—paved the way to a more fulfilling and sustainable path.
Thinking of striking out on your own or battling the “I can’t do that” mindset? This episode will help you get unstuck and encourage you to use your strengths to make impact—no matter your age or stage. To learn more about Bekah, check out https://nextascentfitness.com!
