Why You Overwork, People-Please, or Freeze at Work (And What to Do)
Manage episode 490395590 series 3657356
Feeling stuck, anxious, or constantly burned out at work? Your attachment style could be the missing piece. In this episode of Career Clarity Unlocked, career coach Theresa White explores how your early attachment style, secure, anxious, avoidant, or disorganized, shapes how you show up in your career. From how you handle feedback to why you overwork, people-please, or freeze in high-pressure situations, these unconscious patterns could be the reason you feel stuck in the wrong job or overwhelmed by burnout.
Theresa shares coaching insights and personal stories to help you reframe old career choices with compassion, not shame. You’ll walk away with practical mindset shifts and a deeper understanding of why certain roles drain you, and what kinds of environments actually support your nervous system, values, and growth.
If you’ve ever thought:
“Why do I stay in roles that exhaust me?”
“Why does feedback hit so hard?”
“Why do I always feel like I’m not doing enough?”
This episode will give you a powerful new lens to answer those questions and make more aligned, empowered decisions in your career.
