075: Is Going Back to Work Dimming My Light? with Amanda Sevilla

from Flourish With Purpose Podcast With Amanda Sevilla · host Amanda Sevilla

In today’s episode, I’m opening up about something that so many of us face, but don’t always talk about honestly: what it feels like to return to a traditional job after building something of your own. Does it mean you’re giving up on your purpose? Have you failed? Or is there a deeper truth in the pivot? This one is for the entrepreneurs feeling burned out, the caretakers coming back into the workforce, and the dreamers wondering if they’re losing themselves in the process. I share my own raw reflections on identity, fear, purpose, and why these decisions are so much more layered than we often give credit for.We’ll also dive into:- Why purpose isn’t one single path or career title- How to discern between fear-based choices and empowered decisions- The myth of “going backward” in your journey- Honoring your nervous system and well-being in every season- What it really means to live in alignmentIf you’ve ever questioned whether a change in direction means you’re abandoning your dreams, I hope this episode reminds you that your truth can evolve. You don’t have to sacrifice wellness, wholeness, or authenticity along the way.✨ Tune in for a grounded, compassionate take on transitions, purpose, and the courage to choose what’s right for you, even if it looks different than you imagined.===If you’re a high-achieving woman ready to step into your purpose, align with your gifts, and find clarity, the Flourish with Purpose Membership is for you!
