If you’ve ever asked yourself, “How do I turn my passion into a career?” or “How do I change careers with no experience?”—this episode is for you.

In this deep and personal conversation, Katie O'Malley shares her multifaceted career transition from political science to nonprofit leadership, commercial real estate, mental health counseling, and finally launching her own coaching business.

We explore what it really takes to change your career path, especially when you're multi-passionate, purpose-driven, and navigating mental health, burnout, or systemic challenges in the workplace.

This episode breaks down:

• How to change careers when you're multi-passionate
• What to do when your job no longer fits your values
• Navigating career pivots after burnout or breakdowns
• Advocating for yourself in a broken job market
• How to change careers with no experience (and still stand out)
• Reframing your story and skills across industries
• Using inclusive language and resisting DEI rollback in today’s workplace

Whether you're thinking about changing careers to teaching, coaching, counseling, or another calling, this conversation will help you see that your nonlinear path is your greatest advantage—not a liability.
