Your Job Is Not Your Purpose

from Open Mike · host Mike Martin

In this episode of Open Mike, I talk about reframing the way we think about work.For a long time, I placed a lot of expectation on my job to fulfill me, develop me, and give me direction. When it didn’t, I found myself feeling drained and emotionally invested in something that was never meant to define me.In this episode, I share the mindset shift that helped me take my power back — seeing my job as a business agreement rather than a source of identity.I also talk about using your job to fund your passions, transferring skills from your 9–5 into your personal goals, and releasing the emotional weight that comes with unrealistic expectations.If you’ve been feeling stuck or burned out by work, this conversation is for you.🔗 Connect With MeInstagram: @mikexmartnTikTok: @mikexmartn
