When “Should I Quit My Job?” Isn’t the Real Question Anymore

Sharing is caring!

For years, I kept asking myself the same question:

“Should I quit my job?“

I’d asked it before.

I’d switched companies, changed industries, negotiated better pay and more flexibility.

But this time felt different.

The job wasn’t toxic.

The money was good.

The title looked impressive on paper.

Still, something was off.

I was restless. Again.

And I was exhausted from pretending.

Pretending to care about projects that bored me.

Pretending to agree with decisions I didn’t believe in.

Pretending that the version of me everyone respected wasn’t slowly disappearing inside.

It felt like I was “acting” my way through the day — wearing a mask that had grown too tight.

And I remember lying awake one night thinking:

“If I can’t be happy here… what’s wrong with me?”

It Wasn’t Whether I should Quit My Job. It Was the Gap.

The problem wasn’t whether I needed a better company, a better team, or a better manager.

It was something deeper.

The real question was:

“How do I find work that actually fits who I’ve become?”

Because that’s what was happening.

I had grown.

But my role hadn’t.

And maybe you’re feeling the same.

You Don’t Hate Your Job. But You’re Not Lit Up, Either.

You’re not desperate to escape.

You’ve done really well.

From the outside, you “have it all.”

But internally, you might be noticing:

• You’re exhausted from nodding at ideas that drain you
• You mentally check out during meetings you used to lead
• You feel like you’re wearing a version of yourself that no longer fits
• You wonder, “If people saw the real me at work, would they still respect me?”

That quiet ache? That emotional distance?

It’s not failure.

It’s a signal.

What You’re Feeling Has a Name: The Identity Gap™

There’s often a gap between the real you… and the you who shows up at work every day.

I call it the Identity Gap™ — and it shows up like this:

→ Sunday nights feel heavy, like you’re mentally bracing for a performance

→ Your best ideas stay in your head because they don’t feel “safe” to share

→ You keep succeeding… but feel disconnected from your success

And here’s the hard truth:

No job change will fix that if the gap stays open.

The New Question That Changed Everything

When I stopped asking “Should I quit?”

And started asking:

“What kind of work actually fits the woman I’ve become?”

That’s when everything shifted.

Because it’s not about escaping.

It’s about realigning.

And now I help women who feel exactly this — successful, but misaligned — close that gap and create work that actually fits.

You Don’t Need Permission. You Need Alignment.

If you’ve been feeling this low hum of restlessness, it doesn’t mean something’s wrong with you.

It means you’ve outgrown something.

And it’s time to grow toward what’s next.

If that’s you, let’s talk.
