“I want to chuck my work laptop out the window”

✋ Raise your hand if this resonates (it’s okay, no one can see you).

In the past month, I’ve heard things like this at the start of my coaching programs:

• “I feel burnt out and exhausted. I can't keep going like this.”
• “My hands are slipping off the monkey bars.”
• “Every morning, I wake up with dread.”
• “I’m counting down the days until I can leave.”
• “Everything about this job feels wrong. I’m just over it.”

You might feel like sh*t now… and that’s okay. Actually, I’m excited for you.

This isn’t schadenfreude. I just know—after my own career twists and turns, and coaching 82 people through theirs—that ongoing discomfort is an invitation to change.

Whether you shift how you relate to work, make a small pivot, or blow it all up and start fresh, your feelings are breadcrumbs toward clarity.

If you slow down to understand your discomfort, you’ll make informed, intentional choices. But if you ignore it, you risk jumping out of the frying pan (bad) and into the fire (worse).

That’s why I created the Stuck to Sparked workshop: to help you pause and reflect, so you can act with intention.

We’re full for January, but you can join the waitlist for February here:

Here are some ways we’ll leverage your sh*tty feelings for clarity and confidence (and yes, at this point I’m seeing how many times I can say “sh*t” in one professional email 😆):

• Values: What drains your energy and why? For example, if red tape drives you nuts, agency or efficiency might be key for you.
• Superpowers: You’re great at a lot, but what do you enjoy? If annual performance and comp reviews make you audibly groan, it may be time to focus elsewhere.
• Resistance: Career aspirations often trigger “yeah, but…” doubts. We’ll separate fact from feeling so you can move towards greener pastures.
• Translation: Chances are you’re craving something essential right now (and it’s painful not to have it). We’ll figure out ways to get it—in or outside of work.
• Experiments: Small actions build confidence and clarity. We’ll craft tests to help you move through and out of the sh*t you want to leave behind.

See you at the next workshop—or send the link to a loved one as a killer Valentine’s gift ♥️

Onward!
Grace
