A lot of high achievers find themselves doing work that doesn't light them up inside. Despite having "made it," they find themselves sitting in the car after another "successful" day at the office, staring at their house feeling absolutely nothing. Or even worse, feeling trapped.

Maybe you know this feeling. You've got all the external markers of success: the house, the car, the vacations, the bank account. You did everything you were supposed to do, followed the playbook perfectly. Yet despite checking every box society told you to pursue, something feels hollow inside.

You used to love weekends. But somewhere along the way, Sunday afternoons started filling you with dread. That pit in your stomach about Monday became a constant companion. So you stack Sundays with distractions. Anything to avoid thinking about another week of meetings that could have been emails and projects that feel like they belong to someone else's life.

And those Tuesday nights? You’re up past midnight, scrolling endlessly. Anything to numb the thought of another day of work that looks impressive on paper but leaves you feeling like you’re sleepwalking through your own life.

If this feels familiar, I want you to know something: you're not alone, and nothing is "wrong" with you.

What I've learned is that it's not you, it's misalignment. The work you're doing might look impressive on the outside, but it's completely out of sync with who you are on the inside.

Here's what no one taught us: our values, personality, and interests don't just influence career satisfaction, they determine it. That restless voice isn't weakness, it's your intuition sounding the alarm.

Those moments when you feel drained versus when you feel truly alive? They're not random. They're signals pointing toward what's aligned and what's not.

The real question is: how do you start making sense of those signals?

I'm curious, when during your week do you feel most drained, and when do you feel most alive?
