It's Sunday night. You glance at your calendar for the week ahead, and that familiar knot forms in your stomach.

You have a great job with great pay, and amazing perks. So why are you dreading tomorrow?

I talk to a lot of high achievers who feel guilty about wanting something different. On paper, everything looks perfect - the salary, the title, the prestige. But inside? They're restless, empty, unfulfilled.

You've run through the stay-or-leave calculation more times than you can count. You’ve considered the financial implications, what it means for your career, and how others might see it. But what if you're measuring the wrong risk? What if staying is costing you more than leaving ever could?

That restlessness isn't ingratitude. It's information.

It's telling you something about alignment. Maybe the work doesn't motivate you. Maybe it doesn't fit your personality or values. Maybe there's no real meaning in it for you.

When you ignore that signal, you're trading long-term fulfillment for short-term comfort.

When you find work that aligns with who you are, you don't just feel better. You perform better, lead better, and show up better everywhere that matters.

What's one word that describes how you feel about your work right now?
