EP 168: You Pay the Price Emotionally on Your Unused Potential

The Bridge to Fulfillment

Do you sometimes feel like you’re sleepwalking through a life that you didn’t choose?

The truth is that if you’re not following your own path and aiming to reach the goals you’ve set for yourself, then you’re the one who pays the emotional price.

If you find yourself bargaining too often, second-guessing yourself, or quietly pushing through things you don't want to do, then you’re likely experiencing misalignment.

Today on The Bridge to Fulfillment, Blake walks you through the thoughts and feelings that result from a life and career that is misaligned. Holding back on your unused potential means you could end up paying the ultimate price. But you have a choice.

You can create the life you want.

In this episode, you’ll learn how career coaching can help you find work-life alignment. You’ll hear the story of one woman who was able to finally see her job for what it was and gather the courage and clarity to seek more joy and fulfillment in her work. You’ll also understand the price you pay by staying put in a job that doesn’t truly value you, rather than using the gifts you have in a job that aligns with who you are.
