Stephanie Cordes on Finding Clarity When Success No Longer Feels Right

What do you do when your career looks successful on paper, but something quietly feels off?

Stephanie Cordes is a career ownership coach who works with people at the exact moment when professional success and the life they want to live stop pointing in the same direction. She knows this moment personally. After building a successful corporate career, Stephanie realized that checking all the boxes did not automatically mean she was building the right life.

Stephanie shares how to:

• Recognize quiet misalignment before it turns into burnout

• Reevaluate work and life goals as seasons and family needs change

• Think beyond job titles and focus on lifestyle, income, and long term direction

• Create a personal North Star that guides decisions without locking you into one path

• Let go of the belief that every career change means failure

• Explore new options while keeping stability for your family

• Involve your partner in career decisions as a true team effort

• Redefine what providing really means beyond a paycheck
