Cracking the Code: Before you Quit Your Job: How to Find Career Clarity and Alignment


Listen Later

Feeling stuck in your career? Thinking about quitting your job? Telling yourself you want more…but not sure what that actually means? 

In this Cracking the Code episode of Work Unscripted, executive coach Marlo Lyons challenges the story you tell yourself: What you want isn’t always what you need.

You may think you want: 

  • A new job
  • A promotion
  • More money
  • Less stress
  • More autonomy

But what you actually need is clarity, alignment, courage and space to reflect. 

This episode explores why we’re quick to invest in short-term comforts like daily lattes, impulse spending, staying busy yet hesitate to invest time, money and energy into our long-term career growth and personal fulfillment.

Through a powerful story about a solo bike trip through Europe that changed the trajectory of her life, Marlo shares how creating space to think can reveal what you truly need in your career and life.

You’ll learn:

  • How to know if you need a new job or a new perspective
  • The difference between career dissatisfaction and career misalignment
  • Why investing in yourself isn’t about money. It’s about courage
  • How to stop chasing career symptoms and start addressing the source
  • How to rethink your time and energy like your future depends on it
  • Simple ways to create space for career clarity

If you’re feeling stuck in your career…
If you’re overwhelmed, burnt out, or restless…
If you keep saying “I want more” but don’t know what that means…

This episode is your reset.

Because clarity and alignment create fulfillment, and fulfillment can’t be compartmentalized.
