When Success Isn’t Enough: Career Change, Burnout, and Becoming an Outlaw

from Outlaws Podcast: Embracing Career Freedom · host Outlaws Podcast

You followed the rules. You ticked all the boxes. You built the “successful” career. So… why does it still feel like something’s missing, or that you're not really happy? In this first episode of Outlaws — the career change podcast for high achievers rethinking success — your hosts Shayla and Kate (two former lawyers turned question-askers and life-redesigners) get real about what brought them here, from burnout and breakdowns to career pivots and the messy in-betweens. We talk: Walking away from careers that once felt like a calling Burnout, identity, and the cost of "success" Why we started this podcast (and who it’s for) The power of unlearning and choosing your own way Why you don’t need to have it all figured out to begin again This is not your average self-help show. Outlaws is for anyone standing at the edge of a big career transition — curious, scared, maybe a little bit fed up — and wondering what life could look like off-script. Whether you're ready to quit, pause, pivot, or just take a breath, this is your permission slip.
