career change nursing social justice sunk cost thinking meaningful work

The regret hits you like a wave: "I've made a terrible mistake." Years of education, identity, and effort seemingly wasted on the wrong career choice. But what if that mistake isn't the end of your story? What if it's actually the beginning of something better?

Kate Gleason Bachman felt this crushing weight after realizing her nursing career wasn't what she had imagined. Despite following her passion for social justice into healthcare, the reality gap between expectations and daily work left her questioning everything.

In this episode, Scott explores how Kate transformed her "biggest mistake" into the "best fit" by courageously designing a unique career combination rather than abandoning her nursing background entirely.

What you'll learn:

  • Why your job doesn't need to be terrible to justify making a change
  • How to break free from sunk cost thinking
  • Why creating the perfect career often means combining multiple elements instead of finding everything in one place

job search laid off career upgrade strategies networking meaningful work

Yet the people who get re-employed fastest aren't playing that game at all. They're using an entirely different playbook that turns a layoff into a career upgrade.
