073 - 3 Things to Consider When Looking For a Job to Support Your Craft
In Episode 73 of the Permission to Flow podcast, hosted by career transition coach Jessica Hwang, we dive into the life-changing concept of redefining our career journeys to serve our true purpose. Many first- and second-generation women find themselves trapped in the cycle of fulfilling basic needs while sacrificing their dreams. Jessica challenges listeners to shift their perspectives and place their passions at the center, transforming these "side quests" into the main quests of their lives. If you're questioning whether your current job truly aligns with your calling, Jessica's insights into time, energy, and attention management offer a roadmap to prioritizing what matters most. Throughout the episode, Jessica unpacks the idea that while some are fortunate to find purpose in their 9 to 5 jobs, others may feel a significant disconnect between their daily grind and their greater goals. By sharing her personal journey from the finance world to a fulfilling coaching career, Jessica illustrates how you can choose to align your professional life in service of your passions and build a career that supports your dreams. With practical advice on assessing job roles and opportunities, Jessica empowers listeners to make conscious choices that support their life's calling. Join Jessica as she emphasizes that reclaiming your time, energy, and focus can lead to a rewarding alignment of career with passion. The episode is a powerful reminder for ambitious women that purpose isn’t a peripheral goal—it's the core around which the rest of your career and life should revolve.
