This is what it feels like when you’re in a career that has meaning.
It feels like you get to be you.
I feel like the work is way bigger than me but I’m the right person to be doing it.
The right work to me feels like a big exhale that I can relax into it, but the exhale is surrounded by buzzing action energy.
Clients who land their ideal work describe it as :
“finally singing the same song as the company”
“feeling incredibly energized but at peace with what I offer”
or simply “this finally feels right. I couldn’t imagine doing other work”.
If you are not feeling like you have arrived in your career, that’s normal. Careers are rarely sold as arrivals, they’re sold as things that get us money & where we can’t bring ourselves. That vision isn’t working for everyone, but it’s normal to feel lost in it. There is zero shame in that, really.
Often you can get closer to finding the right work with just a few actions. Most people aren’t that far away from it. I recommend starting with The Career Mapping Masterclass
