38. Releasing Guilt and Embracing Joy: A Radical Career Strategy


Listen Later

Is guilt holding you back in your career and in your life? What if you could release that guilt, embrace what brings you joy, and that was the key to creating the life you really want?


In this episode, I talk about the different ways that guilt shows up in your career and how it is keeping you from reaching your goals. Whether you realize it or not, we have been conditioned to put the needs of others before our own. So, when we dare to dream bigger and start working towards those dreams, guilt creeps in. That guilt can manifest itself in many ways. For example:

  • Not applying to new opportunities because you think leaving your job will hurt your coworkers or boss
  • Not setting boundaries with clients, students, or the people that you serve because you think they will suffer if you're not always available
  • Only pursuing jobs in a specific sector or industry because you think you have to dedicate all your skills, time, and effort to single-handedly fixing all of society's ills
  • Listen to learn how you can release that guilt and why embracing what brings you joy truly is the best thing that you can do for career, for your community, and for the world.
