In this heartfelt conversation, Alyssa Decker and Shaté Hayes dive into the emotional and practical realities of workplace transitions and career changes. Together, they unpack the stories we tell ourselves about our professional identities—and how those stories can either keep us stuck or set us free.

They explore the quiet (and sometimes not-so-quiet) fears that stop people from leaving unfulfilling jobs, even when every part of them is craving something more. Through honest reflection, they invite listeners to consider what it’s really costing them to stay in environments that don’t align with who they are becoming.

Shaté offers powerful wisdom on finding fulfillment in both work and life. She shares how self-assessment, curiosity, and small, consistent actions can lead to discovering your true path. The conversation also touches on navigating toxic work dynamics and the essential skill of advocating for yourself—especially when your peace and purpose are on the line.

For anyone standing at a professional crossroads or quietly wondering, “Is this all there is?”—this episode is a compassionate, no-fluff reminder that growth is possible, and you’re allowed to want more.
