Deep dives
Feeling Stuck in an Unfulfilling Job
The writer, a 29-year-old Enneagram 9, is experiencing a midlife crisis in their current job as an assistant art director in the entertainment industry. They worked hard to get to this position but find themselves unhappy and physically and emotionally drained. They no longer feel the passion and excitement they used to have for their work and dread going to work each day. They are questioning whether they should stick it out or quit, feeling guilty for even complaining about a job others would love to have. They are seeking advice on how to navigate their current situation.
Acknowledging the Situation
The writer should not feel guilty for expressing their dissatisfaction with their job. It is important to acknowledge and validate their feelings. They should not feel obligated to stay in a job that is draining them physically and emotionally. It is okay to prioritize their well-being and happiness.
Exploring New Opportunities
The writer should consider exploring new opportunities and finding a career path that aligns with their passions and values. They can take the skills and experience they have gained in their current role and apply them to other areas or industries. It may be helpful to network, seek advice from mentors or career counselors, and research potential career paths to find something that brings them joy and fulfillment.
Embracing Change and Trusting the Journey
It is important for the writer to embrace change and trust that their path will unfold as they navigate their career transition. They should not view their previous experiences as wasted time or resources, but rather as stepping stones that have led them to this point of self-discovery and growth. Through introspection, self-reflection, and taking courageous steps towards a new direction, they can find a career that brings them happiness and fulfillment.
Building Self-Confidence and Finding Inner Validation
The listener discusses struggling with comparing herself to her older sister and feeling insecure about her own identity. She recognizes that she has been dependent on her sister for validation and feels overshadowed by her sister's accomplishments and physical appearance. The hosts emphasize the importance of going inward and working on building self-confidence and self-validation. They suggest taking responsibility for her own self-worth and finding ways to give herself the love and validation she seeks from others. They also mention the need for separating herself from her sister in certain activities and groups to establish her own identity.
Avoiding Comparison and Embracing Individuality
The hosts discuss the natural tendency for siblings to compare themselves to each other and the negative impact it can have on one's self-esteem. They encourage the listener to actively redirect her thoughts away from comparison and focus on her own growth and development. They suggest embracing her own unique qualities and strengths instead of trying to fit into a mold based on her sister's attributes. The hosts also emphasize the need to separate her own identity from her sister's and to find validation and self-acceptance from within. They remind her that everyone has insecurities and that true confidence comes from embracing oneself fully.
