What if the perfect job for your next season actually exists, and you’re not too late to find it?
In this episode of Answer the Call, Joan shares her inspiring story of leaving a 19-year career as a pediatric nurse practitioner to pursue a dream job that felt too good to be true – remote, flexible, and mission-driven!
At 62 years old, Joan overcame job search overwhelm, fear of age discrimination, and the lie that “it’s too late” by trusting God and working the right strategy.
We discuss:
How Joan used faith + strategy to find clarity and confidence
What it’s like to job hunt after 15+ years off the market
The power of informational interviews (and one that led directly to her offer!)
How mindset work and godly coaching opened new doors
If you’re a Christian job seeker navigating a career pivot, or feeling stuck and wondering if meaningful work is still possible for you – this episode will give you so much hope (and practical next steps).
Cheering you on,
Kelsey Kemp & Audrey Bagarus
