Navigating a Career Pivot? Not sure what’s next?
If you’ve been thrust into a career pivot, you’re not alone, and there is a way forward.

I’ve been where you are, overwhelmed, unsure, and wondering what comes next. That’s why I created the 5 Steps to Monetizing Your Brilliance Workbook. I’m offering it to you, for free.

✨ Design a life that reflects your values and aspirations. One that brings pride and fulfillment.

Inside, you’ll take the first steps of my proven 5-step system to design, build, and launch your next big career pivot:

1️⃣ Define Your Desires – Gain clarity on what truly matters to you.
2️⃣ Get Clear on Your Skills – Uncover your unique strengths and passions.
3️⃣ Create Your Career Framework – Build a foundation for your next-level career.
4️⃣ Set Your Intentions – Establish clear, actionable goals.
5️⃣ Start the Journey – Take the first step toward your dream career.

This is your time.

In this short, action-focused session I’ll walk you through a quick wake-up check, the clear signs a role is shrinking your potential, and a simple reflection exercise that turns vague worry into choice.

If you are a mid-career professional who is feeling stuck, wondering whether to pivot, or want a fast, practical self-audit that leads to real choices, then this for you.

Bring a notebook or open a notes app, and get ready to gain a new perspective.

Promotions are familiar.
They come with titles, pay bumps, and shiny LinkedIn updates.
There’re easy to measure, and even easier to chase.

But purpose?
Purpose asks you to slow down.
To listen to the whisper that says, “There’s more for you than this.”

Chasing purpose means:
Impact over titles. You stop asking, “What’s my next promotion?” and start asking, “Whose life am I changing with my work?”

Legacy over ladder. Instead of climbing higher, you focus on building something that lasts. A body of work, a story, a ripple effect that continues long after the job ends.

Alignment over autopilot. You choose projects, people, and paths that light you up. You stop settling for “should” and start pursuing “must.”

This is the work of brave people. Step off the predictable path to build a life that means something to you and to the world around you.

Are you ready for that next stage in your career? What would it look like to stop chasing promotions… and start chasing purpose?

Midlife is the age where you finally start choosing yourself.
It’s giving yourself permission to make choices that are best for you, without apology.

That can look like:
Setting boundaries with a toxic job or person
Saying yes to something you truly want
Speaking up instead of silencing your voice
Owning your opinions
Refusing to settle for “just okay”

This season is about clarity, courage, and stepping fully into your power.

So I’ll ask you…
What are you no longer willing to tolerate?

Two women. Same summer. Same goal: to finally pivot their careers.

Lisa said she’d “figure it out this summer.”
She saved job listings, tinkered with her résumé, scrolled LinkedIn during quiet afternoons and sent out dozens of applications. But she never got clear on what she really wanted, so August came and went, and now she’s back to where she started: stuck, frustrated, waiting for something to happen.

Maya made a different choice.
She created a Bold Pivot Plan.
She mapped out what lights her up and what actually pays the bills.
She identified her non-negotiables. She crafted her story.
And she started putting herself in rooms (and inboxes) that mattered.

Now, as fall kicks in, Maya isn’t just sending résumés into a void, she’s having real conversations about roles that fit her life.
She’s in motion.
She’s not waiting for a job to appear.
She’s building the next chapter, on purpose.

So, who do you want to be when the leaves turn?

You don’t need more time.
You need more strategy.
And clarity? It comes from moving.

The Bold Pivot Plan is your first step:

The stories!
The ones that keep us firmly rooted in what is safe.
The ones that we have been telling ourselves for far too long.

“It’s too late to start over.”
“I need it all figured out before I make a move.”
“Staying put is safer than trying something new.”

Are you ready to recognize the lies that keep you spinning your wheels instead of moving forward? You already have what it takes to make a bold pivot, one that aligns with your values, leverages your brilliance, and builds the flexibility you crave.

That’s exactly why I created the Bold Pivot Plan, a simple roadmap to get unstuck and start creating your next chapter with clarity and confidence.

Are you ready to stop letting these lies call the shots? If so, check out my Bold Pivot Plan here: https://www.mariadastur.com/boldpivot1

Have you ever noticed how September carries a special kind of energy? That back-to-school buzz never really leaves us. It’s a natural reset button. And this year, a viral Gen Z trend is tapping into it: The Great Lock In.

The concept? From now until December 31st, you commit, lock in, on one or two big goals. You cut the noise, focus your energy, and create serious momentum before the year closes.

I’ve been thinking about how powerful this could be for career pivots, side hustles, and those “I’ll start next year” goals we keep putting off. So I wrote a new blog post all about it, plus four simple strategies to help you lock in and actually cross the finish line.

If you want to:
💪🏽 Finally, land that new job or promotion, so you can feel valued, financially secure, and excited to go to work each day.
🙋🏽‍♀️ Make real progress on your pivot or side hustle, so you can build momentum, confidence, and new streams of income.
😁 Set up 2026 to be your breakthrough year, so you can step into it with clarity, purpose, and unstoppable energy.

Then this is your moment to get focused and start. Read the full blog post here: https://www.secondhalfcommunity.com/.../the-great-lock-in...
