In This Episode, You'll Learn:
Quotable Moment:
"Work is inherently transactional... if you're just giving, you're empty. It's about reconfronting that transaction and making sure that you're getting as much as you're giving." - Faye McCray
Practical Takeaway:
When considering career changes or feeling burnt out, ask yourself "What if it all works out?" instead of catastrophizing. Take inventory of your skills, savings, and support system. Remember that your work should nourish you, not just drain you - and it's okay to make changes when that balance isn't right.
