My guilt left a long time ago no raise 15$ hour stuck at a job with way too much work to do not worth the mental anguish or my life
Really your channel needs to be bigger and you desevre more views and subsribers. Been struggling with hating my job and I can rely on what you said in the training about taking useless courses as well as different carreers actually. Still, cant feel fulfilled and making an impact😢
You are definitely not alone!
All of them seem to apply on me😂😂
Gotta come at your career from a different way when you're multi-passionate!
Valuable, thank you❤
Hope it helped!
Jumping between in a few things i like, instead of sticking to one might do the job right? Like i do coding half day, spend rest of the time making music, and go on hikes and play my fav sport on weekends and so on...
If that works for you, go for it. Many of my clients struggle with sustainable income when they try to cobble several things together.
hey, great and valuable content. I am building a series on my careers channel and would love to invite you for a podcast style conversation around career change. let me know how we can connect - Linkedin would work great
Such a relevant video for me 2 nd point ☝️
So glad!
❤❤❤❤
This is a great post. I'd like to learn more.
Hi! Can you tell me a little about your story? Have you tried to follow your passion?
What if you fail your passion?
I mean...that's the whole point of the video. Ditch follow your passion if it's not working for you.
The reason I'm feeling guilt right now, 3 weeks before I start a new job, is that I have an immense workload that I won't even get 10% done before I leave. It'll then get dumped on my coworkers and will probably make my current boss think I've been lazy the past few months.
I hear you, but that's not yours to control. It doesn't sound like you created that problem. That's a leadership and management problem.
@@YourCareerHomecoming Thanks, I actually just had a conversation with a senior team member about this, and he said the exact same thing.
YOUR STARTED SO WLL BUT LEFT ME HANGING IN THE AIR, LIKE U VIBE
Lol! A lot of valuable follow up in the free training. Check it out!
Clarity, sigh.
Is that a good sigh, or a weary sigh?
I’ve been attacked by the city of Victoria bc After quiting my auto body job Driven to an actual nervous breakdown Accused of faking it Followed to Calgary harassed at new job by contacts of ex employer Then quit those jobs back to Victoria the entire city gang stocks me including the police and my family Yea f you guys You suk so bad
I loved this video and joined the free training as well. I admire your knowledge and the blueprint that you gave me for free! Thank you so much!
So glad it resonated!
How do I get the free training
Hi@@onyi2048! There's a link in the video description. www.ychworkshop.com
So. Relatable. On all fronts. Thank you for sharing your story.
Thank you. Happy to share as those challenges are what propelled me to do this work that I value so much.
yes. well said!
Thank you!
Im 27 years old and feel like its too late. I work construction and hate my life. Im willing to go to school and make the change i just feel like its too late for me
27 is definitely not too late. It's sooner than I made my career change. I've helped clients in their 50's and 60's change careers. What they wouldn't give to have started at 27.
Pretty much most of what you've spoken resonates. Here i am, a childless (by choice) widow on the cusp of 44 with no degree &, until recently, no desire to go back to school (I've several comm. college credits under my belt - if they're even still valid - from when I was in my 20's). I just always felt lost & stuck due to the needs of my very large family over my lifetime (I was pretty much an oldest child & second mom to several of my siblings & cousins & even to my own parents). All that to say I'm certain the aforementioned had certainly contributed to my setbacks, but not entirely. I don't regret giving of myself to my loved ones for a second. As to what is pushing me forward re. career choice? Digital Marketing & Bookeeping on the side (both of which I've no experience in but am not at all intimated to learn!).
No regrets for being there for your family, but glad that you can put yourself more at the center of your choices now.
Been there. Done that. Got the t-shirt and the hat. Yep, it hurts. It downright sucks. But eventually, it hurt less, and it didn't suck as badly. And I found a way to move on, taking the lessons with me.
I actually got two t-shirts, but the other one is a whole 'nother story. Whew! Learned a lot.
@@YourCareerHomecoming One of these days, we should trade stories, in person. It's been too long.
@@da.reverend Meet you in Virginia :)
@@YourCareerHomecoming Shenandoah’s. 😃
I am going to make intentional choices in my career.
YES! Make the decision, declare it, learn how.
Thank u for your videos I'm learning English with you , greetings from New York
That's wonderful! Hello from Atlanta.
This was insightful. Making a "hell no" list is a lot easier than making a "hell yes" list. Elimination is the way!
Glad this helped! Process of elimination is not a great way to choose a career, but it can be a good starting point.
You have such beautiful eyes❤ excited to join the free training!!
Hope you enjoy the training!
I’d like to talk to you. Oh, I’ll head on over to your website:-). 7:31
Thank you‼️🌎🫶🏼 This 60 yof is starting over again‼️😵💫 My overhead has risen 1000.00 a month and my income has been reduced by a similar amount. I owe every one… Playing Peter and Paul payments. Ugh, single-no partner, no family, no nets. 🫶🏼👍🏽🤷♀️🙅🏼♀️🇺🇸🤯🕊️
Your UA-cam channel is amazing! The content you create is entertaining and informative, The production quality, creativity, and passion you put into your videos are evident in every frame. you are keeping me hooked with every video. Keep up the fantastic work, you're doing a fantastic job! 😊👍
Thank you!
Thank you for your heart-felt wisdom! Very rich, practical and helpful. You are awesome!
Thank you!
Solid, well done, psychologically sound- thank you! I will be sharing your message to a church career / job search group I lead. Thank you! FYI- I am a 25 year Talent and Organizational Development Leader (now retired). I look forward to more of your perpspective!
Thanks so much!
The "you can be anything" part was interesting. I did really well in school and was told things like that. But I felt lacking and somehow deeply flawed my entire adult life because I can't always do the things I want or that other people think I can or should do. I end up avoiding everything and underachieving. It's something I'm working on.
I've talked with neurodivergent people in particular who have struggled with that kind of messaging from childhood, though I don't think you have to be neurodivergent to get scrambled by adults saying things like that. Glad you are working to realign what feels right for you.
So nice video.. Keep it up🙏
Massively agree with the self misalignment - career misalignment link. Great video!

The most meaningful career for me also has to be the least stressful 😂
That can be a thing! This is why it's so important to know what your personal criteria for meaningful work is.
@@YourCareerHomecoming The only issue with it is.. a _lot_ of the least stressful careers, have a _lot_ of stressful requirements 😥like, many sites mention Dietitian as being one of the least stressful careers, yet _organic chemistry_ one of the hardest classes you can take at university, is one of the requirements. I think one site mentions environmental engineering, but that's _three_ semesters of calculus... massage therapy exam is incredibly difficult and you can develop hand and back pain over time, most librarian jobs require a master's... adulting is hard
@@DefinitelyNotAFerret If the starting point is look at lists of least stressful careers, then we're already on the wrong track. We want to find what is balanced for YOU, personally. There will be challenges. The point is to take on the challenges where the reward will be worth it for you.

I’m a poet. Im 54. I have a B.A in Spanish and an MFA in creative writing. I need money. So I’ve already got a job offer from postal service. I want to take it but they work u to the bone and I won’t have energy to write, let alone maybe go back to get some kind of training to change careers. I don’t want to give the mojo I have left to the post office. It seems like a waste since I’m writing my best work at this age. Any thoughts?
If writing is your meaningful work and you need a companion career to pay the bills, then it's about finding an option that will leave you enough energy to write.

in brief : In this video, Laura Sims discusses the difference between wanting to quit your job and being ready to quit. She highlights common reasons for wanting to quit, including emotional triggers, physical triggers, culture/values clashes, crises of meaning, and growth dead ends. Laura then explains the three things you need to be ready to quit: 1. Know what's next: Understand what you want from your career and what needs to change. Focus on moving towards something instead of just running away from your current job. 2. Have a transition plan: Quit with integrity and a practical plan in place, ensuring you move from one job to another without causing unnecessary stress. 3. Feel confident about quitting: Quit when you feel proud of your decision and eager to share your skills with an employer who values you. Laura notes that there are exceptions to these guidelines, such as when someone is in an abusive situation or when their health is at risk. She recommends her free training (linked in the video description) to help viewers develop a roadmap for finding a meaningful career.
In my case it's not change of a career but to come back and start my career at 41 ...I've done MBBS but couldn't pursue medical practice because of kids and family ,now when they're grown up then I'm old and coming back to system is really tough+ everyone says now what you can do choose easy speciality, financially rich speciality but I like the speciality which needs more struggle and probably more time to stable + idk I'll be earning much ,well settled and stuff like that
I get bored pretty fast with a “passion”.
I got a good ten years out of my first one, but then passion wasn't enough.
Me too
Laura, I love your videos!
Thanks so much, Teo!
Great suggestion how to know good time to quit our job. Thank you👍
Great information to share here, my friend. Thank you👍
Interesting topic to present, my friend. Thanks so much🙏
As a 67 year old fart (yeah, Sis, I’m THAT old, now 😊) I’ve gotten to the point where I’m enjoying retirement and still working in theatre whenever I feel like it. And, now, I work retail 3-4 days a week just to get out of the house. I knew nothing about retail when I started, but have learned a lot during the past year. My sister by blood, who worked in retail for decades, laughed when I told her I’d gone into retail part time. Speaking of which, she changed careers in middle age and now teaches special needs students are her youngest daughter’s old high school. So you now have two more examples in the family. 😊 And one of these days, you two need to meet, Sis. ❤
I have trouble imagining you sitting around the house for too long :) Glad you've found something to get you up and out. You make 67 look good!
Thank you for your guidance ❤️ I will definitely be checking out the training. I've been stuck in a rut for almost 2 yrs trying to find a way out of my 9-5. I'm finally ready to start preparing my exit with confidence.
You're so welcome! Once you know you need to change, time to make that plan.
Excellent video, Laura. A lot of this language rings true for me- especially boredom, pointlessness, but feeling stuck about what I want to do instead, confidence, and a solid plan I can execute on.
Well, I'm sorry you can relate. But I know that if you can relate to the struggle you'll be able to relax to what's waiting on the other side of it for you.
