Not all growth is visible. Some of the most important work is happening underground.

Ask yourself:

• What’s quietly maturing that deserves patience instead of pressure?

• Where am I demanding proof before the work is ready?

Trust your own timing.

In 2016, I started building a backup plan in secret.


Not because I was ready to leave journalism—
but because I wasn’t sure it would always have room for me.

For years, I kept it quiet.


The work I did in the dark became the bridge I’d one day need.

If your work always leaves you recovering, it might not be the work that’s broken.

It might be the culture that taught you exhaustion equals excellence.

What if the better question is: How can I do my work in a way that doesn’t need recovery at all?

Challenging career myths isn’t about breaking everything down—it’s about breaking free.

Your network grows.

Your skills transfer.

Your confidence builds.

You’re not starting over. You’re starting where you are.

What if your career doesn’t feel like home anymore because you’ve outgrown the address?

“Something better” is vague. Try defining what fits now. That clarity? It changes everything.

Most of us don’t leave our first career.

We replicate it.

Then we wonder why the burnout follows us.

Here’s what I want you to know: the skills you’ve built are permanent.

But the container? That can look completely different.

You are not your job title.

You are not your business card.


You are not your company’s logo.

Your real value? It’s the work.
The way you show up.
The problems you solve.
The spark only you bring.

Treat your career like a relationship.


It needs attention, conversation, and honesty to grow.

Your Sunday evening restlessness isn’t a flaw—it’s a signal. Your career is telling you it’s time to check in.
