Description

In episode 89, we’re talking about what it takes to leave a job you’ve outgrown without burning it all down or making decisions from panic.


If you’ve been telling yourself “it’s fine” while feeling disconnected, checked out, or unsure of your next step, this episode will help you move from thinking about change to actually creating it. I’m sharing client stories, common fears that keep people stuck, and how to build an exit plan that feels safe, strategic, and aligned with your goals.


In this episode, I cover:

  • The signs you’ve outgrown your role and why that’s not a failure
  • How fear of making the “wrong” move keeps you in place
  • Why you don’t need to abandon everything you’ve built to make a change
  • How to create an exit plan that supports both your goals and your stability


Key Takeaways:

  • Fear—not laziness—is what keeps you stuck
  • You don’t have to leave everything behind to pivot
  • A clear, actionable exit plan makes change feel possible and safe
