The Unstuck Career
What to Do When Your Mission No Longer Aligns
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
This week on Unstuck Career, Sandra Almanza joins me for a raw and honest look at what it means to outgrow your job—and what it takes to get unstuck when burnout and fear try to hold you back. Sandra shares her journey from lab manager and aspiring primatologist in New York City to making a bold career pivot into the blockchain industry, only to discover the shine eventually wore off and left her feeling drained, misaligned, and ready for a change. If you’ve ever felt trapped by the “scarcity mindset” or worried that leaving a stable tech job means losing your shot at something better, Sandra’s story is going to resonate deeply.
We dig into the emotional toll of sticking with an industry that no longer excites you, unpack the anxiety of career transitions, and challenge the social scripts around “hanging on tight” to traditional work. Sandra opens up about finding clarity through life audits, rediscovering what truly sparks joy, and daring to dream big—like building a wellness retreat center in Colorado and moving back to her beloved NYC. If you’re searching for permission to take a leap (or just wondering how to start), her journey might be the nudge you need.
