You wake up dreading Monday. You stare at your computer wondering, How did I end up here? Or maybe you’re good at your job… but you don’t feel good in it anymore.

Sound familiar?

If so, it might be time to stop pushing through and start paying attention. Your next chapter might be closer than you think.

Here Are 7 Signs You’re Ready for a Career Change:

1. You’re bored, burnt out, or both

2. You feel disconnected from your purpose

3. You’ve stopped growing—but the job hasn’t changed

4. You daydream about “something more”

5. You’re physically drained or emotionally numb after work

6. You don’t recognize who you’ve become in this role

7. Your values have shifted—but your job hasn’t

If you’re nodding your head… you’re not alone. And no, you’re not being “ungrateful”—you’re evolving.

So What Now?

1. Reflect on What You Do Want

What lights you up? What problems do you love solving? What kind of work-life balance feels aligned?

Journaling prompt: “If I could do anything and not fail, I would…”

2. Explore Without Pressure

Start small:

• Follow people in industries you’re curious about

• Take a free course or webinar

• Connect with someone on LinkedIn and ask questions

Clarity comes from movement, not overthinking.

3. Update Your Resume and Personal Story

Even if you’re not job hunting yet, reworking your resume helps you see your value with fresh eyes. Highlight growth, leadership, and who you’ve become—not just what you’ve done.

4. Start Believing You’re Not “Too Late”

You’re not starting over. You’re starting aligned. And the version of you that’s willing to leap? She’s got wisdom, grit, and purpose on her side.

In Closing…

It’s okay to want more. It’s okay to grow out of old chapters. And it’s absolutely okay to build a life and career that feels good in your soul.

You’re not lost—you’re just being called higher.
