Have you ever quietly wondered if your job is still the right fit?
It’s not always a dramatic moment.
There’s no big breakdown. No shouting in the kitchen about your boss. No formal plan to leave.
Instead, it often starts with something quiet: a Sunday night dread that wasn’t there before, a meeting where you’re physically present but mentally counting the hours, a sudden envy of someone who loves what they do.
You might still be performing well - even getting praise. But something has shifted, the spark, the motivation, the sense of purpose - it’s just… not quite there anymore.
If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone.
The quiet questions we try to ignore
Many ambitious professionals I work with come to coaching having held big questions for a long time:
“Am I just tired… or is this not working anymore?”
“Is it me? Am I just being ungrateful?”
“What if I make a change and regret it?”
These questions are completely normal. In fact, they’re often a sign of growth.
You’ve changed. But your role, your environment - or even your industry - hasn’t. But because you’re capable and outwardly successful, you keep going - until it all starts to feel like too much.
And so the gap starts to widen between where you are and where you could be.
The cost of staying stuck
When we ignore these feelings, the impact creeps in slowly. It might show up as burnout, irritability, or a loss of confidence. It might affect how you show up at home, not just at work.
And because you’re used to pushing through, it can be easy to dismiss those signs. To minimise them. To tell yourself to "just get on with it."
But what if instead of pushing through, you paused — and listened?
Career coaching offers that pause
I support professionals who are standing exactly where you might be now: wondering what’s next, wondering how to even think about what’s next.
Coaching offers you a personalised, confidential space to explore:
What’s working - and what isn’t
Where your energy goes
What motivates (and drains) you
What would feel more fulfilling, sustainable, and aligned
Together, we look at practical strategies - not just reflections - so you can take steps forward with clarity and confidence.
You don’t need all the answers right now
If you’ve been carrying that quiet question - Is this still right for me? - it might be time to let it be heard.
You don’t need to make a leap. You don’t need to decide everything this week. But giving yourself space to explore it is often the first powerful step.
