In this episode we’re diving into why you need to get real and honest about how you truly feel and deeply own your resentment rather than focusing on gratitude for a hot minute…so that you can stop shaming yourself and give yourself a chance to be human and find your way through life and work.

Let’s dive in!

When I was working in Corporate, it took me a long time to even entertain the idea that I had options. Let alone that I could leave and do something else.

I was adamant that I didn’t have an option or a choice. And that I HAD to stay and somehow make it work.

The truth is I had the great privilege of actually having a choice. And that really is a privilege.

There was immense guilt and shame wrapped up around having the option to leave a fabulous company and role, with awesome opportunities for career progression….

Or

Option B: I could choose to focus on meaning – but not make a lot of money.

In any case, I had to make a choice.

These days I believe that you can have meaning and money in your career – with a few caveats.

The best place to start isn’t changing companies, industries or jumping into a business…   Looking outside of yourself to a different “thing” to complete you will only set you up to fail.    Please trust me on this.    I’m not saying that you shouldn’t make decisions and take action.    What I am […]
