In this conversation with former Resonai COO Natalie Rozenboim, Chedva explores what happens when we achieve the goals we've worked toward, only to discover they don't feel right anymore. They discuss the pandemic's role in prompting career reassessment, the guilt associated with questioning achievements we've worked hard for, and how to navigate changes in what we want from life.

Key Topics:

• The pandemic as a catalyst for questioning career paths
• The identity crisis of outgrowing professional achievements
• Guilt and confusion when questioning the life we've built
• Breaking free from the "sunk cost" mentality
• Generational differences in approaching work-life integration

Notable Quotes:

• "There's like this pressure to find your thing, which has to encompass so many things. It has to be not only how you make a living, but also something you're passionate about."
• "You almost gaslight yourself. Like, why would I not want this? The problem is me."
• "We tend to think we just need to decide what we want and just go for it, but I think it's more of a continuous quest."
• "We mistake control for progress - holding tightly to answers gives an illusion of forward movement, even when we're standing still."

Natalie's Powerful Question: "Am I building the life I want to live, or do I feel trapped in this life? And what am I going to do about it?"
