Do you get the "Sunday scaries" before another week in a career that no longer feels right for you or the life you want? In this episode of Life Coaches Unfiltered, Desiree, Michelle, and Doree get real about career transitions, burnout, and what happens when your work no longer matches your values, purpose, or season of life.​

They share personal stories about leaving familiar careers, talk through the emotional and practical side of change, and explore why a career shift is about much more than just finding a new job. 

You’ll hear honest advice about transferable skills, support systems, side hustles, and how to start moving forward without jumping blindly.​

If you’re feeling stuck, over it, or quietly wondering “Is this really it?”, this conversation is for you.
