Three Ways to Transform Career Restlessness into Growth | Career Advice and Insights

"What's the use of falling in love if you both remain inertly as-you-were?" When Mary McCarthy wrote those words about love, she might have also captured a great metaphor for your career. Just like any relationship, your professional life is a living thing that needs tending, curiosity, and a willingness to evolve.

In this episode, I explore why we put our careers on autopilot in ways we'd never accept in our personal relationships—and the cost of that disconnection. You know those Sunday evenings when the weight of Monday morning feels heavier than usual? That daydreaming during meetings that's become more frequent? These aren't problems to fix. They're signals from a career relationship that needs attention.

Through three practical approaches, you'll discover how to have honest conversations with your work that lead to genuine growth. No dramatic overnight changes required—just the same relationship wisdom you already possess, applied to your professional journey.

Because here's what matters: You already have everything you need to transform career restlessness into purposeful evolution. You just need permissio—from yourself—to start.
