when you feel stuck, unfulfilled or overwhelmed with your work
AND YOU DONT SEE A WAY OUT…
They say it’s “just work” and that life is bigger than that. Somewhere within, you know that. Then why is it that stress about work seems to permeate every part of your existence? You don’t sleep well and feel irritable when you are not at work/thinking about work and then feel dread and anger at the thought of getting back to it the next day.
Sundays are the worst- because Monday comes with the heaviness of being forced to deal with “just work” that feels anything but “just”.
Your confidence is at an all time low, you feel lost or purpose-less and yet, the bills pile up so it’s not like you can just quit and take a break from it all.
The truth that no one seems to be talking about is that great people like you are in a weird societal trap- for generations, you were told to be the “provider”. That what you do, is who you are. The money you make, the job you hold are the only markers to define whether you are successful as a person, or not. You have been told what makes you seem like a man and what makes you seem “weak”. But you are also being told that “work is not everything”, that you must know how to “leave work at work” and that feeling depressed or anxious about anything work-related, is you “only caring about your job”.
This mixed-message that so many of you are battling is not only going unnoticed but is only being made worse by not being noticed. You are not crazy- why WOULDN’T you want a life outside of employment status or be seen as more than your job or paycheck? Of course you do!
But then so much of your identity has been boxed-in by your work. Society told you to be a provider- and now it also complains when that is all you focus on.
What they don’t get is that it’s not “just work” you are stressed about- it’s an internal battle about your identity, your life and your purpose. When we work together, not only will we find ways to separate who you are from what you do, but also find strategies to mitigate the stress that comes with it all, identify what makes YOU feel fulfilled and how to live fully embracing the real truth of it all…
That You are a whole person- with hobbies, ambitions, dreams, a personality and that your work is one part of who you are. Not all of who you are. You can feel deeply fulfilled at work and about work.
You can also enjoy a life that works for you.
And we will figure out how to make both possible for you, simultaneously.
