When Work Doesn’t Tick Every Box

We’re often told that work should be our passion, our purpose, and our primary source of fulfilment. But what happens when it doesn’t quite tick every box? In this episode of Let’s Take a Moment, we explore why it’s perfectly normal for work to fall short of meeting all our needs—especially from an ego perspective.

I’ll break down the common expectations we place on our jobs, why they can sometimes lead to frustration, and how we can shift our mindset to find meaning elsewhere. Whether it’s through creative projects, community involvement, personal growth, or simply redefining success, there are plenty of ways to cultivate a sense of purpose beyond the nine-to-five.

If you’ve ever felt like your job isn’t giving you everything you hoped for, this episode is for you. Let’s take a moment to rethink how we define fulfilment.
