The Purposeful Life

Feeling Stagnant in Your Career? This Might Be Why


Listen Later

POV: You’re doing the work… but the inspo is gone.

Not burned out.Not lazy.Just quietly stuck.

If you've ever felt like you’re hitting "refresh" on your career, but the page just won’t load, this episode is for you.

You’re doing the work, checking the boxes, and saying the right things-- but internally, the spark has gone quiet.

In this episode, we’re diving into the messy, quiet reality of career writer’s block. This isn’t another "beat burnout" pep talk or a guide to hustling harder. Instead, we’re looking at why stagnation isn’t a flaw; it’s actually a signal.

Nora explores why your nervous system might be "protecting" you from your own creativity and how to stop forcing clarity so you can actually start feeling it.


If you feel "behind," this is your permission slip to stop running and start listening. Grab your coffee or tea and tune in!
