That’s not a coincidence.
Most people assume that when they feel stuck in work that’s wrong, it means they need a new job.
But jumping straight into an active job search without alignment – is the fastest way to end up:
→ In the wrong role… again
→ Feeling “successful” but unfulfilled
→ Stuck in a career that drains you instead of drives you
Real career clarity doesn’t come from doing more of the same – or overthinking it. It comes from realignment that solves for career-life synergy.
One of the core messages from Unstuck and the companion course is this:
“Alignment solidifies your intention to embrace change, making it unwavering and robust.”
That’s why Act I in my framework is all about career alignment – because without it, nothing else works.
And that sense of internal misfit? It’s not something to push past.
It’s a signal.
Meaningful career change doesn’t start with job-hunting.
It starts by answering the right questions:
→ What are you great at…and love doing?
(Not just what pays well. What energises you?)
→ What values matter most to you?
(Autonomy? Impact? Growth?)
→ What would drive you, even without a title or paycheck?
Because when you have those answers – you stop chasing roles that don’t fit, and start designing work that does.
When career and life you love fit together – you will never feel stuck again.
