This week’s dilemma:
"I’m good at my job but I kind of hate it."
In this minisode, we respond to a message from Katie, who’s in a well-paid, well-respected tech role and completely disconnected from it.
She’s not being mistreated. She’s not underpaid. But she’s stuck in a loop of Sunday dread, weekday detachment and a creeping sense of hollowness. Is she burnt out? Bored? Ungrateful? Or just human?
We talk about what to do when your job looks “good on paper” but feels bad in your body. And how to tell the difference between a rough patch and a deeper misalignment.
If you’ve ever found yourself asking “Is this it?”, this one’s for you.
