Career Dysmorphia

You can be world-class at one thing and completely obsessed with another. I’ve got a friend who is the best speaker I know — the kind of communicator who stops rooms — but what he really wants to do is sing. He’s an okay singer. And that gap between what he sees in the mirror and what the world actually sees? That’s career dysmorphia. It’s the professional version of looking at your reflection and seeing something that doesn’t match reality.In this episode, I’ll unpack why so many of us chase the wrong gift while ignoring the right one, and I’ll walk you through five filters to help you find your sweet spot — where what you’re good at, what you love, what you’re called to, what the world needs, and what can sustain you all overlap. Because the world doesn’t need you to be good at everything. It just needs you to be great at your thing.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
