Change Your Story: escape from a job you hate and create a career you love!
According to Gallup, we spend just over 81,000 hours working during our lifetime yet only one person in ten actually loves what they do.
Change Your Story podcast host Carolyn Parry is an award-winning career and life coach, author, and speaker on a mission to help those who are unhappy at work - and that's because she knows what it feels like!
Fortunately, she eventually found a way to transform the successful but soul-eroding business career that burned her out into a twenty-year-plus career she is still as passionate about today. That's because it aligns with who she really is and her desire to help other professionals find something more meaningful so they can escape the hamster wheel, too.
Carolyn is the immediate past President of the Career Development Institute, the professional body for the career development sector. A TEDx speaker and non-executive director, she recently published her first book, which shares its name with this podcast and includes some of its stories. Readers on Amazon have described it as 'motivational', 'inspiring', 'empowering', 'encouraging', and 'life-changing'.
So settle back, get comfortable, and join Carolyn and her inspirational guests as they share powerful stories, strategies, and insights to help you find your inspiration so you can create a career that brings you joy too.
Welcome to Change Your Story.
Change Your Story: escape from a job you hate and create a career you love!
Introducing The Reason, putting purpose to work
This brief episode highlights the malaise and deep-seated unhappiness we have come to recognise as a result of the pandemic and highlights what it is we crave to have happy and fulfilling working life.
The Reason is hosted by Carolyn Parry who spent 17 years in business heading away from who she really was and into burnout before she found her purpose and retrained as a career coach. Now twenty years on, she is a multi-award-winning, certified career and life coach, TEDx speaker, and runs Career Alchemy, a coaching practice that helps early-stage and established professionals to create purpose-led careers. She is also President of the Career Development Institute, the professional body for the career development sector.
If you are seeking inspiration to help you create a working life that lights you up through a sense of purpose, rather than one that wears you out, this may just be the podcast for you.
This short clip explains briefly why "The Reason" podcast has changed its name to "Change Your Story".

Introducing The Reason - with Carolyn Parry
There's absolutely no doubt about it. COVID continues to pervade every area of our lives causing us to experience more stress, more anxiety, and greater mental health issues than ever before.
And it's also caused us to shine a bright light on every element of our working lives, bringing into sharp relief what's missing for us individually and prompting us to hear and feel perhaps for the first time, our own deep-seated unhappiness and malaise in a technologically driven world where the only constant is change.
Ultimately, we need more than just money to really feel happy and fulfilled.
We crave a life of meaning a life that satisfies our need for connection and belonging, a life that motivates us to grow, and self-actualize - and a life that puts our unique talent and potential to work on a purpose we really care about.
My name's Carolyn Parry, and every fortnight, I'll be welcoming a new and inspiring guest to explore their career journey and insights as a way of helping you to find your true sense of purpose.
So you can live your best life.
Welcome to the Reason.
