Why I Left a Career I Loved | Ep 286 with Dr. Robin
This week’s At her Career Crossroads insight comes from myself, Dr. Robin. "Sometimes the hardest decisions are not about escaping something terrible, sometimes they're about outgrowing something partial, something that fits part of you but not the whole of you. And that's not failure, that's discernment, that's paying attention, that's learning how to make decisions from a fuller place, a fuller truth in you and who you are." Here are 3 reasons why you should listen to this episode: Have you ever wondered why you feel unsettled in a career you genuinely love? I'll share why leaving meaningful work can be even harder than leaving work that's clearly wrong—and what finally helped me make that decision. If you've been telling yourself you should be happy because you're making a difference, this episode will help you explore whether one of your core values is quietly being overlooked. Sometimes what's missing matters just as much as what's working. The decision to leave wasn't really about the job. It came down to one insight that completely changed how I think about purpose, career alignment, and making decisions that honour the whole of who you are. If you've been wrestling with a difficult career decision, I hope this perspective helps you see your own situation differently.
