I Don't Know What I Want To Do With My Career
There's a moment that hits after work when you sit in your car, open LinkedIn, or scroll job boards and think, what am I actually doing? Not because you're failing. Not because things are falling apart. But because something just doesn't feel right.
In this episode, I talk honestly about career uncertainty, burnout, comparison, and the pressure to feel fulfilled by your job. I share the thoughts I've been sitting with over the past year, the conversations I've had with coworkers and friends at very different stages of their careers, and why realizing that no one really has it all figured out can be strangely comforting.
If you feel lost in your career, unsure about your next step, or questioning whether you're on the right path, this episode will help you feel less alone.
This isn't an episode with a perfect roadmap or a five-step plan. It's about feeling seen in the middle. About understanding that not knowing what you want to do doesn't mean you're behind. It means you're paying attention.
