The Mistake That Burnt Me Out: Staying Too Long Where I Didn’t Belong

Published 2 months, 4 weeks ago
Description

Cory Koryczan opens up about the career mistake that nearly broke her.

Staying too long in a role that no longer fit. She’d built her identity around someone else’s business and clung to safety until it led to burnout. In this episode, Cory talks about the cost of over-loyalty, the fear that kept her stuck, and how she rebuilt her courage to finally walk away. She also shares a second big lesson from returning to work after maternity leave. 

Why confidence doesn’t just snap back and how discomfort became her best teacher. It’s honest, raw, and packed with lessons for anyone who’s ever ignored their gut to “play it safe.”
