My career has had more twists than I can count, and I’ve talked about some of them here before. But here’s a version I don’t usually tell.
There was a point — not that long ago, honestly — where I was doing work I was genuinely excellent at, for clients who valued it, and I was utterly, completely burnt out.
Not the dramatic kind where something breaks. The quiet kind where you keep going because stopping feels harder than continuing, and somewhere along the way you lose the thread of what you actually wanted. I stayed too long.
I said yes to too much. And truly didn’t have a lot of choice but to say yes.
I confused being busy with being fulfilled.
I’ve made my share of wrong moves, and I’ve learned more from those than from the ones that went well.
I’m sharing this with you not because it’s a cautionary tale, but because I know how many people are sitting exactly where I have been — high-performing, over-extended, and quietly wondering if this is it. It isn’t.
Does this sound familiar? Tell me your version.👇
