It feels lousy when you’re in a role that doesn’t fit.
You can start to doubt yourself. This makes it harder to act with confidence.
You need an action plan you trust. With it, you’ll recover your energy, optimism, and drive.
I can help.
You’ve been successful so far. On the outside, you look successful now.
But you’re starting to feel doubt, dread, or resentment about work. Maybe a part of you is dying inside. Maybe you’re overwhelmed, anxious, or frustrated more and more often. Maybe you’ve realized what used to matter to you isn’t your top priority anymore.
Your job doesn’t fit.
What’s really scary is you’re not sure what to do about it.
You’ve always been great at solving hard problems. Your clients, your professors, and your co-workers all agree.
But this is a different sort of problem. You might wonder what kind of work would fit you better — or how someone with your experience would land that job.
What happens if you never figure this out?
Are You Randomly Applying To Jobs On Impulse?
After especially bad meetings or terrible days, you dash off an application to a job you just found. You tell yourself you’re not getting your hopes up….but when you don’t hear anything, your confidence takes a hit. Are you stuck?
Do You Avoid or Self-Medicate?
You drink too much or eat too much. Maybe you doomscroll, binge watch, or spend more than you should on gadgets or shoes. You know you can’t do this forever. But you need to feel better, and you can’t solve the real problem.
Have You Turned Into A Complainer?
You used to be interesting and fun. Now, grumpiness about work leaks into time with your loved ones. Or work stress interrupts quality time. Everyone’s sick of this dynamic. It’s hurting the relationships that matter most.
Are You Escaping Into Magical Thinking?
Maybe your terrible colleague will quit tomorrow. Maybe you’ll see something that’ll move you forward when you check LinkedIn. Maybe a recruiter will contact you with a great opportunity. Miracles happen, right?
Full of Resentment, Disempowerment, or Self-Pity?
You used to be confident you could solve problems. But you can’t seem to make work better. Every day that work stinks, you feel a little worse about yourself because you haven’t figured this out.
I’ve helped hundreds of people find their way back to feeling good about work. I’ve developed frameworks and tools to make career transitions easier to tackle. There’s a method for crafting a career aligned with your values, and I want to share it with you.
