A lot of people think changing careers will be a shortcut to happiness. (Kinda like people think having a baby or getting married or buying a house will finally make them happy.)

But what if you could be happy in any career -- including the one you're in now?

Here's a truth that might feel a little confronting.

It's not your work that makes you happy. It's your thoughts.

And the good news is that you get to think whatever the hell you want!

It opens up the possibility that you could be happy right where you are -- before the big career change.

It also takes the pressure off the process. Because now you don't have to find the one magic unicorn career that will make you happy. You can just decide which career you want to be happy in.

And on this week's episode of the Climb Your Mountain podcast, I show you exactly how to figure that out!

We'll explore:

  • Why there's no one right career for you
  • Why trying to quickly escape your current career often backfires -- and what to do instead
  • How to begin changing your thoughts so you can feel better where you are, slow down, and do a really great career exploration
  • How to start identifying careers that resonate with your values (and rule out ones that don't)
