Career coach Eliana Goldstein joins the show to help listeners navigate career uncertainty, burnout, and the desire for more meaningful work. After walking away from a “successful on paper” corporate job, Eliana built a coaching business helping high-achieving professionals uncover their ideal roles—without starting over. In this episode, she shares practical tools to find clarity, build momentum, and create a work life that truly fits.

In this episode, we cover:

Burnout and Misalignment: How feeling drained at work isn’t always about being overworked—it’s often about being out of sync with your strengths.
The First Questions to Ask When You Feel Unfulfilled: Eliana shares the foundational reflections around engagement, values, and flow state.
The Danger of Chasing Passion Alone: Why loving something doesn’t mean you should work in it—and what to focus on instead.
Making a Lateral Move: How to identify if you’re in the right industry but the wrong role—and what small shifts can make a big difference.
The 70/30 Rule for Job Satisfaction: A framework for evaluating whether your current role is “good enough for now” or ready for a pivot.
Mindset Before Resumes: Why confidence and narrative matter more than you think when job searching or switching careers.
How to Separate Facts from Fear: Learn to rewrite the internal stories that hold you back after setbacks like layoffs.
Eliana’s 4-Part Framework: Uncover, Align, Build, and Close—how to make an intentional, structured, and productive career transition.
Networking That’s Not Awkward: How to build meaningful connections for research and referrals—without feeling transactional.
How to Stay Motivated: Small goals, time blocks, and micro wins that keep you moving forward, even in a competitive job market.

Whether you’re ready for a career reset or just want to feel more energized at work, this episode will help you move with clarity and confidence.
