This week's "At Her Career Crossroads" insight comes from me. I want to share something that changed the direction of my life.

"I left my family, my home, my community and all that nurtured me my entire life without knowing what it would lead to. I left because something in me knew I needed to go, even before I can explain why. And only later, much later, could I see how that decision deepened my spiritual formation, how it helped me understand my sense of calling and became a part of the path that led me toward work that included teaching, speaking, and helping other people think more deeply about their own purpose. The pattern became clearer after I followed the direction, not before."

Here are 3 reasons why you should listen to this episode:

• If you're waiting until you have the whole plan before making your next career move, this episode will help you see why clarity often comes one step at a time, not all at once.

• If you've ever felt a persistent pull toward something you couldn't explain, you'll learn how to recognise the signals that deserve your attention instead of dismissing them because they don't fit a logical plan.

• If you're standing at a career crossroads, you'll discover why following your next right step can be more important than knowing exactly where the road will lead.

This week's "At her Career Crossroads" insight comes from myself, Dr. Robin.

"Restlessness can be the beginning of clarity. And for me, restlessness became before the decision. It came before I could explain. It came before I knew what I would do next. It was just there, beneath the surface, unsettled, trying to get my attention."

Here are 3 reasons why you should listen to this episode:

• If you've ever found yourself questioning a career that looks successful on paper but feels different on the inside, this episode will help you understand why meaningful work isn't always aligned work—and why that distinction matters.

• You'll hear the deeply personal story that first made me realize I wasn't simply exhausted from my work as a social worker. I was beginning to recognize that something essential was missing, even though I cared deeply about the people I served.

• You'll learn three lessons that can help you recognize the signs of misalignment in your own career, understand what your restlessness may be trying to tell you, and begin making decisions that honour both your purpose and who you truly are.

This week's At her Career Crossroads insight comes from myself, Dr. Robin.

"Sometimes the hardest decisions are not about escaping something terrible, sometimes they're about outgrowing something partial, something that fits part of you but not the whole of you. And that's not failure, that's discernment, that's paying attention, that's learning how to make decisions from a fuller place, a fuller truth in you and who you are."

Here are 3 reasons why you should listen to this episode:

• Have you ever wondered why you feel unsettled in a career you genuinely love? I'll share why leaving meaningful work can be even harder than leaving work that's clearly wrong—and what finally helped me make that decision.

• If you've been telling yourself you should be happy because you're making a difference, this episode will help you explore whether one of your core values is quietly being overlooked. Sometimes what's missing matters just as much as what's working.

• The decision to leave wasn't really about the job. It came down to one insight that completely changed how I think about purpose, career alignment, and making decisions that honour the whole of who you are. If you've been wrestling with a difficult career decision, I hope this perspective helps you see your own situation differently.
