Does any of this sound familiar?
You're doing "fine" on the outside, but inside you feel flat or lost.
On Sunday, you already dread Monday morning.
You feel invisible, like no one at work really gets you.
You've considered quitting… but have no idea what you'd do instead.
You shut down, or lash out — even when you don’t mean to.
Maybe you recognize one. Maybe you recognize all of them.
And still, nothing really changes.
You’ve tried. You’ve talked. You’ve Googled. You’ve scrolled through job listings late at night — and still, nothing really shifts. Maybe you feel stuck, tired, bored, unseen, or restless. Maybe your job just doesn't fit. Or maybe you don't know exactly what's wrong — only that you're no longer yourself.
And because it's not just work — it's your life — that feeling follows you everywhere. It affects your energy, your confidence, your relationships, and your sense of direction.
If any of this sounds like you, know this: you're not alone — and you don't have to figure it out on your own.
You can do something about it.
Many of the people I coach are asking themselves: should I stay or should I go? But that question often turns out to be just the tip of the iceberg. Together, we take a deeper look – so you can make decisions with clarity.
