Listen Later

Have you ever had one of those days where you wonder, "Why am I still doing this?"

Have you questioned if accounting is really the right path for you?

Or felt like you're drowning in deadlines, doubts, and demands — and secretly imagined what it would be like to walk away?

If you nodded even slightly, this week's episode of The Smarter Accountant Podcast is one you need to hear.

In this honest, no-fluff episode, I'm unpacking the thoughts most accountants are afraid to admit — from constant overwhelm and work-life imbalance to imposter syndrome and burnout.

More importantly, I'll show you why these feelings don't mean something is wrong with you — and what you can start doing differently.

This episode is especially for you if:

✅ You've ever said, "I don't know how much longer I can keep doing this." ✅ You feel like accounting is taking more than it's giving. ✅ You're constantly overwhelmed, stressed, or second-guessing yourself. ✅ You're questioning whether the work you do is still meaningful. ✅ You wonder if there's a better way to stay in the profession without burning out.

Whether you're thinking of quitting or just feeling stuck, this episode will help you see what's really going on — and how to move forward with clarity and confidence.

You've worked too hard to keep feeling this stressed. Let's talk about what to do when you're ready for something better.
