Finding Purpose (After your work bestie abandons you for a better job)

from Kind of Crushing It · host Jessica McGovern & Natalie Milosevic

Jessica and Nat unpack the surprisingly emotional experience of watching your work bestie leave. From workplace "abandonment issues" to questioning whether you actually like your job, they explore how easy it is to confuse comfort with alignment.   They reflect on the friendships that make hard jobs easier, the guilt that can come with leaving a team you care about, and why career decisions need to be based on more than who makes your workday easier.   You'll hear about: 1️⃣ How workplace friendships can shape career decisions 2️⃣ Why comfort isn't always the same as fulfilment 3️⃣ How to choose growth without losing meaningful relationships   If you've ever stayed in a role because of the people, panicked when your favourite colleague resigned, or felt guilty for choosing yourself, this episode will feel very familiar. Jessica and Nat explore what it looks like to back yourself, protect great friendships, and make career decisions that align with your future.   🌐 Connect with us: LinkedIn   Have topics you want us to cover?
