About this episode
Sonia Dong discusses with Jodi Tingling the importance of adaptability and exploration in career paths at every age.
What if career success isn’t about choosing the “right” path early, but learning to stay curious, adaptable, and aligned with who you are becoming? In this episode of Raising the Next Gen, Sonia speaks with career psychotherapist and speaker Jodi Tingling about helping teens, young adults, and professionals navigate career decisions with more clarity and less pressure. They discuss why career paths are rarely linear, how parents can support exploration instead of perfection, the importance of testing ideas before committing, and why reassessing your career throughout life can lead to greater fulfillment, balance, and confidence in every stage of life.
