That “I can’t do another year of this” feeling? It means something.

Every September my inbox changes. The messages aren’t about resumes. They’re some version of “I don’t know what’s wrong, I just know I can’t do another year of this.”

Restlessness is information about alignment. And the cost of ignoring it compounds every year you do.

→ Why September surfaces this and January doesn’t
→ What misalignment looks like before it becomes burnout
→ How to tell tired from misaligned
→ Why another certification usually won’t fix it
→ The one question to answer this week

Most people think they don’t know what they want. Usually they do. They’re stuck in the fear of getting it wrong, and that fear looks a lot like confusion from the inside.

My career path started out very linear. But something happened along the way that changed all that for me.

While my ambition didn’t change, my career path became ugly.

Navigating various layoffs, parenthood, and disruptions (cue in COVID), things took a shift.

But you know what? I wouldn’t change any of that because it taught me what truly matters in my life.

I built skills I never knew were possible for me.

I met amazing people and immersed myself in the most empowering communities.

I defined work on my own terms, and climbing the corporate ladder was no longer the goal.

So while I built an ugly career, the beauty shines every day because it’s aligned with the life I am creating.

What’s one ugly thing you have built in your career?

Please tell me I’m not the only one who took years to build my career only to realize that it wasn’t what I wanted anymore.

At some point I realized I just wanted to burn it all down to the ground and start over again.

If this is feeling like where you are at lately, it may be time to take a deep dive into who you are now and who you want to become.

Just because you took years to build something, it doesn’t mean that you have to continue on that path.

Follow for more if you’re feeling like you want a change but are not quite sure what that looks like yet.

Hi, I’m Jodi Tingling, your career psychotherapist. I spent years inside HR running employee well-being programs, then left to do the work. Those programs couldn’t reach. Now I work with mid career professionals to get them clear on what’s next, without starting over.

You were told to “stick it out.” To “be grateful.” That “everyone hates their job, that’s just adulting.”

The advice that keeps you comfortable is often the same advice that keeps you stuck. Waiting for “the right time,” staying because you’ve already invested years, telling yourself it’s normal to dread Mondays, none of it is serving you.

The cost of doing nothing isn’t zero. It’s another year of feeling successful on paper and empty everywhere else.

Which one did you grow up believing? Tell me in the comments 👇🏽. And save this for the next time someone tells you to “just be grateful.”

Here’s something I want you to know as a former workplace wellness specialist embedded in HR. Being a top performer puts you at risk of burning out. And the reason why this happens is because no one ever checks in on us.

That’s why it’s super important for us to check in on ourselves because if we don’t, it will leave us to burn out and I’ve seen so many people leave their roles because nobody ever truly checked in on how they were doing.

Let me know in the comments do you actively check in on yourself?

Hi, I’m Jodi — career psychotherapist for high achievers who are ready to stop dreading what they do.

After working with hundreds of high achievers, here’s what I’ve learned: the problem isn’t that you don’t know what to do next. It’s that you’re misaligned, and that’s not your fault.

Nobody taught us there’s a way to become intentional in our careers that actually feels aligned with who we’re meant to be. So instead, brilliant professionals spend months (sometimes years) stuck in the same decision.

Here’s what actually creates change:
Clarity brings intention.
Intention creates action.
Action creates momentum.

I don’t do hustle-and-push-through. I help high performers get underneath the burnout, the “is this it?” to what’s actually going on, then build a sustainable plan from there.

The number one thing people get wrong about their big visions is this....

They do it alone.

We are not meant to navigate our careers alone and in fact, when you do it with support, you get to your big vision much faster and in a more strategic way.

If you have a big vision or want to be strategic about the next steps in your career or business, I have a few spots next week for free career strategy sessions. I would love to hear more about your vision.

Send me a dm if you’re ready to explore your big visions together.

If you ever wondered what happens in a career intensive planning day here is a behind-the-scenes view of what I do to prepare for visioning, planning and deep insights into the next steps in your career or business.

I absolutely love hosting these days, and in fact so much energy goes towards helping my clients realize the best future versions of themselves.

If you are ready to be strategic in your career or in your business, I have two more spots left for the summer. Let’s chat in the DM’s if you want to do the next career intensive planning date with me.

Shout out to Farm Boy for the goodies I always pick up in your store and to The Therapist’s Lounge Toronto for providing this beautiful space to host my career intensive planning days.

Today was epic. I got a chance to speak in front of amazing women entrepreneurs who are enhancing their visibility every day.

it’s not about overthinking. It’s about taking action one day at a time.

Thanks for inviting me to speak.

Yesterday I had the amazing opportunity to set aside time just for myself to do the deep work needed to expand.

Most people think doing deep work is all about strategy and that is important too. The deep work is done when we immerse ourselves in a space to reset our nervous system because our body needs to feel safe enough to expand. When we signal to our bodies, that it is safe to expand and that it’s time to step into abundance. That’s when everything starts to change for us. Growth comes with shedding old parts of us that no longer aligns. To expand we need safety and strategy and this is exactly what the expansion lab had to offer. If you are thinking about stepping into your next level, it means doing things you have never done before. It’s OK to feel scared and it’s also OK to do it scared while creating safety in our body to expand.

Thank you to for this wonderful experience this was everything I needed.
