You can do the job. You've proven that.

But somewhere along the way, it stopped energizing you and started costing you something you can't quite name.

That tension doesn't mean you're ungrateful. It's simply trying to show you something.

You might recognize this in your own experience. On the surface everything looks great. Good team. Steady performance. Predictable days. But underneath there's a quiet tug inside you that says you've outgrown this, even if you can't fully explain what changed.

That feeling is real. And it's not a problem to push away. It's information.

In my work with professionals in transition, that restlessness shows up long before someone is ready to name it. It often begins as a slight feeling that something is off. Curiosity fading. Work no longer stretching you. A kind of tired that sleep doesn't fix.

A simple place to start is noticing where your energy rises or falls during the week. That pattern usually tells the truth before your mind does.

You might wonder if a new role would fix it. Sometimes it does. But more often, the real issue isn't motivation. It's that who you're becoming has quietly outgrown where you are.

Misalignment often shows up first as restlessness because your identity is shifting before your role does.

One question I often invite people to sit with is this: What part of you is no longer being used, challenged, or expressed in the work you're doing today?

That's where clarity begins. Not by blowing up your career, but by telling the truth about what no longer fits and why.
