Julia Toothacre: Riding the Tide of Career Change and Building Confidence in Your Path

Careers are rarely straight lines. They ebb and flow, shift direction, and sometimes crash before they settle.

In this episode of Campus Chronicles, Brooke Young speaks with career strategist and Control Your Career podcast host Julia Toothacre about what it takes to own your narrative and build confidence in your professional journey.

Julia shares how a memorable interview mishap became a defining moment, how past “detours” shaped her path, and what students can start doing now to build careers that honour their values.

You will learn:

  • Why authenticity often outperforms perfection
  • How to recognise and use transferable skills from seemingly unrelated jobs
  • Why early career pivots can be strengths, not failures
  • How to make values-based decisions under pressure
  • Julia’s top three pieces of advice for students stepping into the working world
