Identifying Burnout and How to Know if it's Time for a Career Change

What if the pressure to find your “dream job” is actually what’s keeping you stuck? In this episode of Merging Into Life, Sabrina Pierotti sits down with career coach Sam DeMase to unpack the realities of career pivots, burnout, toxic work environments, and why modern careers no longer follow a straight line. Sam DeMase explains why today’s careers look more like mosaics than ladders, how Gen Z and millennials are redefining loyalty in the workplace, and why changing paths doesn’t mean starting over. Together, they dive into the emotional side of career transitions, from identity loss and fear to the guilt of leaving jobs that no longer fit. Whether you’re quietly questioning your current role, navigating burnout, or dreaming about something new, this conversation is a reminder that it’s never too late to pivot toward a career that actually supports your life.Read Power Mood
