Description

What if your job looks perfect on paper but leaves you drained and unfulfilled? For Paul Ichilcik, the breaking point came when he realized he was spending 80-90% of his time on work that didn’t align with his strengths. This episode reveals how Paul challenged assumptions, let go of “security,” and made an intentional career change that finally brought alignment and energy back into his life.
