Back to Episodes63: Signs It's Time to Leave Your Job — Even If You Can't Explain Why
Description
You've been telling yourself it's just a rough stretch. Just tired. Just this quarter. But if you walk back the timeline honestly, you've probably been leaving for a lot longer than you've admitted — and your own words have been giving you away the whole time.
This episode is a diagnostic. Jamesyn walks through the language of misalignment: the verb shift from "I can't" to "I don't want to," the day your "we" quietly becomes "they," the future you stopped picturing yourself in, and the "above and beyond" trap that's quietly making your real role impossible to grow in. You'll learn the difference between burnout and misalignment — because rest fixes one and does nothing for the other — and why the sentence "I thought this would be different" isn't a complaint. It's a diagnosis.
This is Stage One of the Career Reinvention Framework: Recognize the Gap. And by the end, you'll know how to hear it in your own voice.
