When Your Career No Longer Feels Like Your Calling: Realignment, Reinvention & Meaningful Work with Rachel Spekman

What if the career you worked so hard to build… no longer fits who God is shaping you to become? For so many high-achieving Christian wives and moms, that question hits deeper than we want to admit. You’re leading at work, leading at home, showing up for everyone, but secretly wondering, “Why does my success feel so heavy?” In this episode of She Leads Boldly, I sit down with reinvention coach and “Meaningful Work” expert Rachel Spekman — who has spent over 15 years in marketing, 10 years advising founders, and 5 years as a therapist helping hundreds rediscover who they truly are and what they’re uniquely made to bring into the world. Together, we unpack the moment every ambitious woman reaches: that quiet inner tug that says, “Something needs to shift.” Rachel and I explore: Why your identity in Christ must lead before your calling, career, or giftsThe emotional toll of carrying the mental load of marriage, motherhood, and leadershipHow to recognize when you’re operating from obligation instead of alignmentWhy the “3 Cs” (Contribution, Challenge, and Community) determine career fulfillmentThe unseen courage it takes to reinvent yourself while raising a familyHow children’s stories like “What Do You Do With an Idea?” reveal God’s process for growth, purpose, and obedienceWhy meaningful work isn’t about achieving more, but becoming who God designed you to beWe also dive into Rachel’s practical process for helping women step into work that feels purposeful instead of pressured, and how Jewish and Christian traditions both point to the truth that each person carries a God-given spark meant to bless the world. And sis… we go deep.I share parts of my own journey.
