So… can we talk about the whole “dream job” thing?

Because mine wasn’t.
Not even close.

I was sold the usual story:
Find your passion.
Climb the ladder.
Retire fulfilled and respected.
(Maybe with a plant and a sad email from your boss’s PA.)

But here’s how it actually went:
I found the job.
I climbed the ladder.
And then I burnt out so badly I barely recognised myself.

The truth?
“Dream jobs” don’t mean much when you’re underpaid, undervalued, or quietly miserable.

Here’s what actually helped me find my way forward:

Clarity beats confidence.
You don’t need a 10-year plan. You just need to take the next right step.

Nobody’s watching.
They’re too busy overthinking their own career moves to care about yours.

Quitting isn’t weak.
It’s just strategy with better boundaries.

You’re not flaky.
You’re evolving. (Which is more than I can say for most leadership teams I’ve worked under.)

If you’re reading this and thinking “yep, that’s me” — that’s exactly why I built The Blueprint.

It’s a 12-month career accelerator for women who are done waiting, done shrinking, and ready to move.
