From career burnout to the pressure of finding fulfillment in your job, the gals break down what it really means to spend 90,000 hours of your life at work and what to do if every one of those hours feels like torture.

They unpack why it’s okay if your job isn’t your passion, the freedom that comes from separating work from identity, and how hobbies, boundaries, and a little creativity can change the way you experience your nine-to-five.

Key Topics:

• Why your career doesn’t have to define you
• Practical tools to cope when quitting isn’t an option
• How comparison at work (and in life) can rob you of joy
• The difference between stepping away vs. stepping toward in a career change
• Dealing with the struggle of money vs. fulfillment

If you’ve ever wondered whether you’re stuck in a cycle of living just for Friday night... this episode might be the reset you need!
