Many of us have been there: dreading Mondays, counting down the minutes until 5 p.m., and working out of financial necessity, not out of a passion or because the work makes you feel fulfilled in some way.

You might even be applying for other jobs secretly during your lunch break.

What's Making You Unhappy?

What are the specific things about your job that you dislike? Is it your boss, your coworkers, the tasks you do, or something else?

Do you feel like you always need to be the “Strong One”? Whether it’s at work or in your personal life, maybe you take on the responsibility of keeping everything together and taking care of everyone around you. 

Maybe you feel like you have to just keep getting back up no matter how many times you’re knocked down. 

Maybe you constantly spread yourself too thin trying to bring support to others but are never able to find that same support for yourself.

Have you ever felt like you’re falling behind in your career compared to your peers? Do you sometimes wonder if you’re a late bloomer in your profession? Well, guess what? You’re not alone! Being a late bloomer in your career is more common than you think, and it’s time to embrace your unique journey. 

Let’s define what I mean by “late bloomer”. If you’re someone who did not take a linear path to your career, started working later in life, or didn’t hit certain milestones at the “expected” time, you’re probably what I mean by “late bloomer”. 

Maybe you took some time off to raise a family, had to switch careers, or simply took longer to figure out what you wanted to do. Whatever the reason, it’s okay to not have everything figured out right away (or still). 

Storytime! 

It took me a looooong time to come to terms with that. I...

If you are feeling lost or unfulfilled in your career, it might be time to take a step back and examine your career narrative. 

Okay. Career what??? 

We all have multiple narratives in our lives. You have a narrative about what kind of daughter you are, what kind of friend, significant other, spouse, employee, etc. 

But do you know what your career narrative is? 

Your career narrative is the story you tell yourself and others about your professional journey, and it can have a huge impact on your job satisfaction and success. 

So let’s dive into how you can find, redefine, and project your career narrative! 

What is your current career narrative? 

Take some time to reflect on the story you currently tell about your professional life. 

Evaluate how you describe your job. What do you say when someone asks you what you do for a living? Do you focus on the...
