Your Career Looks Great But You Want Out | Ep 294 with Nicole Johnston

*"And then my next thought was, man, if I hadn't been so fast on the brake, I wouldn't have to go to work today. So when you're choosing bodily harm over your job, you should probably pay attention to that."* This week's "At her Career Crossroads" insight comes from Nicole Johnston. Here are 3 reasons why you should listen to this episode: - **What if the career you worked so hard to build no longer feels like the career you want?** Hear what happened when Nicole could no longer ignore that disconnect—and how she began figuring out what she actually wanted instead. - **Are you ruling out what you really want before you've even considered how it could work?** You'll hear a practical way to question the "shoulds," assumptions, and self-imposed barriers that can keep you stuck at a career crossroads. - **Could the work no one notices be quietly getting in the way of your career?** Discover how mental load and non-promotable work can consume hundreds of hours of your time—and what that could mean for your energy, opportunities, and next move.
