In this episode of Elevate Your Mindset, mental health therapist Tamika Bruenton continues her discussion on "work," focusing on the unique challenges experienced by seasoned professionals. The episode explores two main themes:

Career Discontentment – Many mid-career professionals face burnout, routine fatigue, and a loss of fulfillment, leading them to consider major career changes or entrepreneurship. Tamika advises thoughtful planning over impulsive decisions, encouraging listeners to assess their current path, tap into their professional networks, and explore flexible work options. Those interested in entrepreneurship should pursue it with clarity and purpose, not just for trends or quick gains.

The Invisible Wall – Professionals aiming for leadership roles often find themselves overworking without promotion. Tamika introduces the concept of being viewed as too valuable as a worker, which can unintentionally block advancement. She urges listeners to shift how they’re perceived—by modeling leadership behavior, seeking mentors, and resisting the trap of constant overwork—so they’re seen as leaders, not just high-performing employees.

The episode delivers practical advice to help professionals move forward with confidence and encourages listeners to follow and share the podcast for ongoing support and insight.
