Why finding your purpose feels impossible: If you have no career direction, feel trapped by the golden handcuffs, and don't know what your next step is, I get it. I spent 39 years cycling through careers I didn't enjoy before I finally found my calling in coaching. In this episode, I talk about why so many of us end up stuck in careers we don't care about and how to choose your next career when you don't know where to start.

Topics covered in this episode:

  • Why we fall into careers based on convenience, money, or momentum instead of genuine fit
  • How promotions and lifestyle creep make it harder to leave the longer you stay
  • The real reason most people won't go after what they want (and it's not money or experience)
  • Why we're more willing to fail at things we don't care about than risk failing at something we love
  • An exercise I use with my coaching clients to identify what you're genuinely obsessed with, not just what you're good at
  • How to connect that obsession to an actual career path
  • Dealing with people who judge you for starting over (I've done it more times than I can count)
  • Why quitting what isn't meant for you is an act of self-trust

If you've been wondering whether there's more to your career than what you're doing now, this one's for you.
