The purpose of this study was to explore a theoretical framework to understand career disconnection process of career disrupted women and explain career change process. For this purpose, in-depth interviews with 12 career cut-off women were implemented and the data was analyzed by applying the grounded theory method. As a result, 180 concepts, 53 subcategories and 13 categories were found, and a paradigm model was derived. The central phenomenon was ‘I am worried about where my life is’, and the causal condition appeared to stop my work from various causes. The contextual conditions was confined to the work of the child and the family, and the interventional condition showed the various supporting factors. Interaction strategies appeared to translate career search into action, to have diverse experiences to find a career, to find my life, to set and apply goals, and to understand others’ minds. The results showed that participants were aware of autonomy and growth, had confidence and confidence, and set their career directions. These results show that the core category is to determine the direction of the stagnated life toward work and life through experience.
