Have you ever achieved everything you thought you wanted – the dream job, the impressive title, the lifestyle others envy – only to feel surprisingly empty inside?
You're not alone, and there's a fascinating psychological reason behind this modern epidemic of success without satisfaction.
In this eye-opening episode, Binny reveals how "junk values" might be secretly sabotaging your career decisions and keeping you trapped in a cycle that never truly fulfils.
Inspired be research from Johann Hari's book "Lost Connections," this isn't just another self-help discussion – it's a complete reframe of how you think about success, happiness, and what actually drives meaningful career choices.
In this episode, you'll discover:
What junk values are and how they've infiltrated your decision-making without you realising it
The "pie chart" analogy that explains why you feel unfulfilled despite your achievements
How to distinguish between externally-driven motivations and authentic core values
Real-life examples of how values guide major life and career decisions
The key question that reveals whether your life reflects what's truly important to you
A practical framework for conducting your own values audit
Why understanding your authentic values is crucial for career satisfaction and life fulfilment
Whether you're questioning your current career path, feeling stuck despite outward success, or simply want to make more intentional life choices, this episode offers the insights and tools you need to break free from junk values and start building a life that truly aligns with who you are at your core.
I'm your host Binny Langler, bringing you insights from my journey through two major career changes and my work as a Certified Strengths, Executive and Career Coach.
Having spent nearly ten years in that exact space of wanting change but not taking action - I understand the fear, guilt, and self-doubt that keeps peoples stuck in careers that drain their soul.
Now I guide professionals to break free from the cycle of career dissatisfaction and create work that energises rather than exhausts them.
