EP 266: When What You've Been Doing No Longer Makes You Happy

Is your work no longer making you happy? Are you ready for something to change but unsure what the right next step should be? 

Making a career change, especially when everything looks great on paper, can feel like a huge challenge (even more so when it feels like you’re doing it alone).  

But this unsettling feeling you’re experiencing can actually be a gift, nudging you to transition with intention because that’s the only path to fulfillment that will put YOUR values first.

Today on The Bridge to FulfillmentⓇ, Blake shares the most effective way to navigate a crossroads in your life and career.

In this episode, you’ll learn how to use this season of transition as an opportunity to avoid career burnout before it happens, identify your unique secret sauce transferrable skills™, and start creating the life you’ve always wanted. You’ll learn why what you’ve been doing hasn’t produced results, and what you can do right now to finally get things moving in the right direction.  

 

What You’ll Learn:

• Two approaches to making a transition (1:09)

• The place most people get stuck (3:20)

• The biggest challenge we face when seeking change (5:15)

• Why you’re not gaining more clarity (7:30)

• The moment “more” becomes possible (11:48)

 

Favorite Quotes:

1. “This is where so many of us get stuck:  we're making these changes, or we're trying to get clarity, we're reading the books, we're changing jobs, we are having these conversations, and they're not moving us forward.”

2. “When we lack clarity, we believe that the answer lies externally, in our circumstances, in somebody's book and somebody else's journey. And I want you to know that that's just not true. The answer is always internal. It's inside of you.”

3. “We often believe clarity has to be difficult, hard and painful to get. But that's just not true. It's our approach that is difficult, hard and painful.”

4. “It's all possible, but it's only possible when we look at our circumstances and recognize where I am today is not the life I want to be repeating, and I'm done just tolerating what I have I want more.”
