Paula Faris on Why Your Career Isn’t Always Your Calling, Stepping Back From a Dream Job & What People Misunderstand About Vulnerability


Listen Later

Paula Faris, author, podcaster, speaker, and former host of Good Morning America and The View joins Dr. Krish Kandiah to share about her career and faith. Paula opens up with Krish about the toll her career took on her, ultimately leading to her stepping back from the roles after a tragic chain of events in 2018 where she experienced multiple health issues. In reflection, Paula explains that what she didn’t realize until that moment, was that her career had slowly become her calling. Her identity and value became wrapped up in her career success and it led her towards overworking, compromising her Christian values, and neglecting the relationships with those she most loved. Paula tells Krish how it can be so easy for what happened to her to be the same experience for many leaders and people who are passionate about their work.

We hope Paula’s story helps you consider what the differences may be between your calling and career and how having a healthy perspective on those will help you love God and love others more.
