The Action Within: Align Your Career to You

9: Why You Keep Choosing Work that Doesn’t Feel Right


Listen Later

The pressure to meet external expectations and constantly perform can pull you away from your natural way of working. Over time, being constantly “on” can leave you depleted, leading to unconscious choices that keep you in work that doesn’t feel right. 

When this becomes your normal, it’s easy to lose sight of the fact that you are still making choices, even if they don’t feel like choices at all. 

In this episode, you’ll explore: 

  • How constant performance and external expectations shape your career decisions 
  • Why depletion and overfunctioning leads to unconscious choices that keep you stuck in work that drains you 
  • How understanding these patterns helps you rebuild self-trust and make more intentional career choices 

Being present with your choices helps you see what’s been shaping them, enabling you to make different decisions.
