Episode 25: How to Know When It’s Time for a Change

episode 25: how to know when it’s time for a change global academy of coaching podcast jill Nov 02, 2025

Have you ever felt that quiet whisper inside saying, “Something needs to change”?
Maybe your job feels “fine” but not fulfilling. Maybe you’ve outgrown your environment. Or maybe you simply feel that something deeper is calling you — but you can’t yet name what it is.

I’ve been there too.

I’ve changed my career three times, I’ve walked away from a marriage, and I’ve consciously chosen to bring Joy — my daughter — into this world. Each of these moments required me to listen to my intuition, even when fear tried to convince me to stay the same.

In this week’s episode of the Global Academy of Coaching Podcast, I share how to know with clarity and confidence when it’s truly time for a change.

You’ll discover:

  • Why your brain resists change (and how to rewire it for courage).

  • The two paths we all face: the sleeping life vs. the awake life.

  • The exact questions that reveal whether it’s time for your next step.

  • How to silence the voice of fear and start creating momentum again.

If you’ve been feeling “okay” but not truly alive, this episode will help you reconnect with your purpose — and take that first brave step forward.
