How To Work Your Way
Have you ever gotten out of a job that made you miserable, thought you found the perfect fit, and then ended up right back to feeling frustrated and resentful?

How We Hold Ourselves Back When it's Time to Move On
From a young age, we are taught how to "win" at work. How to overdeliver, please our bosses, take on things that weren't ours, and prove to everyone how much we deserve to be there. We're told this will lead to the affirmation and praise that will fill us up and validate our choices, but when we are in the wrong jobs for us, it can actually lead to exhaustion, frustration, resentment, and burn out. This episode explores the three most common personas or "should selves" we think we SHOULD be to prove ourselves at work, how embodying them is a losing game, and how to actually find professional fulfillment instead.
