Have you ever wondered whether you’ve outgrown your job?

Perhaps the work that once excited you no longer feels fulfilling. Maybe the next promotion doesn’t appeal in the same way, or you’re questioning whether your career still fits the life you want to lead as a parent.

In this episode, career transition and leadership coach Fiorenza Rossini explores four signs that your job might no longer be right for you, particularly when you’re navigating the demands of working parenthood.

Becoming a parent can change your relationship with work, ambition and success. You might still want to grow professionally, take on new challenges and do meaningful work, but find that the way you’ve been working no longer feels sustainable.

So, how do you know when it’s time for a career change?

In this episode, we explore:

* Losing interest in your work: How to distinguish between being exhausted by the demands of working parenthood and genuinely having outgrown your role.

* Feeling stuck in your career: Why the next promotion or traditional career progression might no longer be what you want, and how to rethink professional growth.

* When work becomes unsustainable: How workload, workplace culture, inflexible expectations and the mental load of parenting can affect your working life.

* Redefining career success: What happens when your priorities change and you begin making space for family, creativity, personal interests and a more fulfilling life beyond work.

We also explore an important distinction: do you need a new job or career, different working conditions, or a new definition of professional success?

You don’t necessarily need to start again from scratch. Sometimes, the first step towards a more fulfilling career is understanding what no longer works and what you want more of in your working life.

💡Questions to reflect on

If you’re questioning your career, take a moment to consider:

* What do I want more of in my working life right now?
