96: The 4 Steps to Lasting Career Change (and What Most People Get Wrong)

You've quit jobs before. You've been in therapy. You've read the books. And yet you're sitting here thinking: "Is this all there is?" Sound familiar? In this bonus episode of Hannah Hotline, we break down why most career change advice fails and the 4-step method that actually sticks.  Here's the problem: traditional career coaching is all action, no self-awareness. So you jump into a new job, and the same problems show up again. Therapy and self-awareness alone? All reflection, no action — so you stay stuck where you are.  The answer is doing both, in the right order.  Here's what we cover: Why "just quit and follow your passion" keeps failing you Step 1: Holistic career design — how your career fits into your life (not the other way around) Step 2: Understand your sabotage archetype — why the same problems follow you job to job Step 3: Values alignment — make decisions anchored to what you actually care about Step 4: Prototype and stress test — research, network, and test a path before you leap Timestamps: 00:30 — The listener's story: "I'm miserable, I'm just taking a paycheck" 00:45 — The question everyone's afraid to ask 01:57 — Why traditional career coaching misses the point 02:30 — Why you can't do action OR self-awareness alone 03:57 — Step 1: Holistic career design 05:15 — Step 2: Know your sabotage archetype 06:00 — Step 3: Values alignment 08:15 — Step 4: Prototype and stress test (do them together) #HannahHotline #CareerChange #CareerAdvice #CareerTransition #CareerCoaching #UnhappyAtWork #findyourpurpose #HannahKissel
