How to Practice Patience When You're Feeling Stuck In Your Career (#114)

Feeling stuck in your corporate career and frustrated that clarity isn’t coming fast enough? You’re not alone. In a world built on instant gratification, patience can feel impossible, especially when you know you’re meant for more and are ready for a career pivot.

Today I’m tackling a topic we don’t talk about enough: patience during career transition. Whether you’ve been laid off, overlooked for a promotion, burned out in a six-figure job, or quietly dreaming about leaving corporate, learning how to wait well can make all the difference.

You’ll learn about the 3 types of patience backed by research and I’ll share personal stories from my own corporate exit, client insights, and practical tools to help you stay grounded while you figure out what’s next.

Plus, I cover how to:

✅ Accept what you can’t control and focus on what you can
✅ Identify triggers that sabotage your patience during career change
✅ Use journaling to gain clarity and track growth
✅ Practice micro-moments of patience at work and in life
✅ Build perseverance while discerning your next career move

Career reinvention doesn’t happen overnight, but patience helps bridge the gap between where you are now and where you’re called to go. If you’re a high-achieving woman feeling stuck in your career and craving clarity, this episode will help you slow down, trust the process, and take your next empowered step forward.
