How To Explain A Career Gap With Confidence

I’m just back from my trip to Paris and excited to be back in your inbox with a new post. 

“How do I explain my career gap without it sounding like a therapy session?” 

This is the question I get asked a ton. And it’s exactly what I tackle in today’s post.

I talked with someone who had been unemployed for three years -medical crises, family loss, and a string of complications that kept derailing her job search. She was convinced her gap would disqualify her from every opportunity.

But here’s what we discovered together: her gap wasn’t the problem. The story she was telling herself about it was.

In this conversation, we transformed her “missing years” from something she apologized for into her greatest competitive advantage.

Need support? If you’re navigating a career gap, making a transition, or just feeling stuck -I am here to help.

Start with following my blog. 

Your gap doesn’t define you. But the story you tell yourself about it? That can set you apart.
