In this episode of Career Clarity Unlocked, Career Change Coach Theresa White shares exactly how to make a purpose-driven career change—even in an unstable economy.

If you're feeling stuck in a role that no longer aligns with your values, or you’ve noticed your company pulling back on DEI, climate, or equity initiatives, this episode will help you figure out your next move with clarity and confidence.

We highlight progressive companies that are still hiring, even during market uncertainty—companies that are actively investing in people, sustainability, and inclusion.
