Episode notes
In this episode I'm digging into something I think every high performer wrestles with quietly, usually in their own head: what career growth actually means once you're past the early, climb-fast years. I walk you through the five things high performers truly want, and the one that surprises everyone because it isn't money, plus why turning down a promotion can be exactly the right call. I share my own story of massive change, getting laid off, working through a divorce, selling the family home, and starting a business, and why none of it killed me. If you've been wondering whether you should be reaching for the next rung or whether where you are is enough, this one is for you.
