What’s Stopping You? The Career You’d Choose If Fear Wasn’t a Factor - Reclaim Your Fulfillment at Work

Have you ever asked yourself, “What would I do if I wasn’t afraid?” In this inspiring episode of the Get Organized at Work Podcast, host Kayla Fahey-Ahrndt explores how answering the question, "What career would you have if you weren't afraid of being judged or just not afraid of going for it?"

We walk through how that question doesn't have to be scary and make you feel out of alignment...

That question can help inform us of what we value and love most about that exciting career choice and how to bring more of that energy into your current role to increase your fulfillment and purpose in your career today.

Kayla reflects on her 13 years as a ballet dancer and how that experience shaped her leadership style, creative confidence, and capacity for expression at work. She walks you through a visual mind map of what lit her up as a child and asks how you can reclaim that same energy and fulfillment in your current role.

 

Whether you’re a healthcare leader, working mom, or high-achieving professional, this episode helps you:

• Reflect on the career you’d pursue if fear wasn’t holding you back

• Reignite your creativity and curiosity at work

• Find ways to express your full self—even in structured systems

• Create space for fulfillment and purpose in your daily routine

🎧 Tune in for practical tips, reflective prompts, and the reminder that your best work happens when you're fully alive, not just efficient.
