Mid-Career Change

120. The Hidden Costs of Staying Stuck (And How to Break Free)


Listen Later

Feeling stuck in your career? You’re not alone — and you’re not broken. But staying stuck comes at a cost.

In this solo episode, I explore the hidden toll that being in the wrong job, or simply feeling misaligned, can have on one's energy, confidence, and future opportunities.

Drawing on my experience of feeling stuck in a successful but unfulfilling engineering role, I share what it means to be stuck, how it shows up in your day-to-day life, and the quiet impact it can have over time.

But this isn’t just a diagnosis—it’s a path forward.

You’ll learn three practical ways to loosen the grip of stuckness and begin creating momentum:
• How to notice and name what’s really going on
• Why micro-experiments can unlock surprising new directions
• And the power of talking it through with the right people

This episode is both a compassionate reflection and a gentle nudge—because staying stuck isn’t your only option. And often, the first small step changes everything.

Thanks for listening!
