Taking the Leap: How to Know When It’s Time for a Career Change
At some point, many of us feel it: that quiet nudge (or loud inner shout) suggesting it's time for something new. Whether you're considering a career change, re-entering the workforce after caring for your family, or nurturing the dream of a small business, you deserve to thrive in your next season. But how do you know when it's truly time to take the leap?
At Juno Women’s Collective, we know that making a career change is more difficult for women than men because we don’t have the same access to professional connections and are often underestimated, overlooked, and marginalized. That’s why our all-women networking group is designed to help women navigate and succeed in their professional pursuits. Through our science-backed curriculum, intentional community, and strategic support, we can help you navigate your career transition with clarity, confidence, and connection.
If you’re feeling the pull toward change, here are a few signs it might be time to embrace it.
1.You feel disconnected from your work.
Generally speaking, work should ignite your spirit and not drain it. While we all have those days that feel draining, if you find yourself uninspired, restless, or even resentful more often than not, it's a sign that your passions and goals may have evolved. This doesn’t mean you’ve failed; it simply means you’re ready to move on and grow. Through our Juno Circles–which are small, curated groups designed for authentic connection–we help you explore what kind of work lights you up now.
2. Your career no longer reflects who you are.
Our life chapters shift. Maybe you've paused to raise children, taken time to care for loved ones, or simply realized your dreams have expanded. Forbes shares how successful career transitions often start with acknowledging who you are now, not who you were five or ten years ago. At Juno Women’s Collective, we believe all paths–especially the nonlinear ones–deserve to be celebrated. Reclaiming your story means acknowledging the strength in every season and building a future that aligns with who you are today.
3. You crave community and accountability.
If your current season of life is lacking in community, whether you have a job right now or not, it can be hard to feel motivated. Quality connections with people who have similar goals, passions, and purposes can make all the difference in both your workday and everyday life. If you don’t feel inspired by those around you, and lack accountability to keep growing, it might be time to find a new community through a career shift.
We’ll add that the process of finding your next professional chapter can feel isolating, but you don’t have to do it alone. Joining a Juno Circle will connect you with other women who can understand your experience, cheer you on, and celebrate each milestone. In other words, you don’t have to wait until your next job to find the community and accountability you’re craving–you can find it right now, while you’re figuring things out. deserve to lead your own story. Juno Circles offer the space, support, and strategic tools to help you do just that—alongside women doing the same.
4. You sense there’s more waiting for you.
That persistent feeling that you’re made for something more? That’s not something to dismiss; it’s something to see as an invitation. And you’re definitely not the only one feeling this way: according to a survey performed by Work180 in 2024, almost 62% of women are open to new job opportunities, and 27% are “actively” looking for a new role. If you feel ready to take on a new challenge and start a new chapter, listen to your gut.
Whether you’re uncertain about your next steps or eager for strategy and support, Juno Women’s Collective provides the clarity and community you need to move forward with joy and confidence.
It’s your story. Reclaim the lead role.
The beautiful thing about life is that there are different seasons. Once you’re ready to move on to the next one, you can take agency in finding a new chapter. It will likely take work and effort, but the reward will be worth it. If you’re tired of your current job or dying to jump back into the workforce after time away, we invite you to listen to the voice inside and follow it. You deserve to reclaim the leading role in your life’s story–and if you’re looking for support, our community is here for you.
At Juno Women’s Collective, our passion is helping women thrive in their next season. If setting new goals, rediscovering your talents, and experiencing a community that supports your every season sounds like something you’re interested in, we’d love to hear from you.
