Transcending the grind: How to thrive in the job you have now


Listen Later

Feeling stuck in the daily grind? Quitting isn’t the only way out. In this episode, Dr. Jessica Grossmeier shares how to find meaning, connection, and even transcendence in the job you have now.

We explore:
  - How small shifts in perspective can reignite purpose and satisfaction
  - The power of workplace connections and why they matter more than you think
  - Simple, science-backed practices to reset, refocus, and thrive at work
  - Why transcendence is a job skill—and how to cultivate it

Whether you love your job, feel stuck, or are considering a change, this episode will challenge you to think differently about work—and yourself.

Key Takeaways


-  Work can be so much more than just tasks and productivity when we bring our best selves and connect to a larger purpose.
-  Instead of leaving a job that feels misaligned, shifting how you approach your work can bring new fulfillment.
-  Meaningful relationships at work enhance well-being, performance, and job satisfaction 
-  Create intentional time for space for mindful movement, deep breathing, or intentional connection with colleagues.
