What to Do When Your Career Map No Longer Fits

from You Are Not A Frog

You know something needs to change, but you just have no idea what, how, or where to begin, and your lack of a plan may be starting to feel like failure.In this Quick Dip, Rachel unpacks why the belief that you need everything mapped out before you're allowed to move is the very thing keeping you stuck, and introduces the AB-Z method: a simple framework that replaces the impossible task of knowing your whole future with a far more manageable one.This episode is about how to craft your work, not how to leave your job completely or blow everything up, but how to get a genuine say in the shape of your working life - one honest step at a time.Key TakeawaysYou don't need the whole career plan - you need A, a sense of Z, and B - the very next step.Z is not a job title. It's how you want to be: internally, and with the people you love.Recovering from burnout is not the same as arriving at Z. The absence of burnout is a step, not a destination.Comparing your Z to someone else's is one of the most reliable ways to stay stuck.Crafting your work and career can happen alongside your current role, not instead of it - and it can start at any grade, any stage.Get more episodes and resources by joining FrogXtraMentioned in this episode:🟦 Permission to Thrive
