07: Career Growth on Autopilot? The One Thing I Wished I'd Ask Myself Sooner

from Setting Boundaries in Corporate | Simple Systems to Overcome Burnout at Work · host Raquel Ita - Leadership & Boundaries Coach for Corporate Women Ready for Work-Life Balance

You've climbed the ladder, checked every box, earned the title — so why does 10pm still whisper "is this really it?" In this episode, I'm taking you back to the season I was striving for everything and never once stopped to ask the one question that changes how you grow. In this episode, I'm taking you back to a season when I was striving like crazy — chasing every certification, every license, every win — and never once stopped to ask myself the one question that could have changed everything: what am I even striving for? Here's what I learned the hard way, friend: doing more and being better is not the same as growing. You can climb an entire ladder only to realize it was leaning against the wrong wall the whole time. Real growth doesn't start with doing more. It starts with a pause — with being still long enough to hear what your heart, soul, and mind actually need in this season. (Psalm 46:10 — "Be still, and know that I am God.") So grab your coffee, take a breath, and come sit with me. This one's for the woman who looks like she has it all together and still quietly wonders if there's more. ✨ I'm looking for 3 women to chat with — a free 15-minute call where I just want to hear your story and learn how I can serve you better. On your commute, on a walk, whenever you find the in-between. If that's you, email me at [email protected]. If this episode spoke to you, would you leave a quick review? It helps another overwhelmed corporate woman find this show right when she needs it. I pray this one blesses you. 🤍
