With everyone talking about the millennial career crisis, we wanted to ask the question… is it actually a crisis or are careers just evolving?

Many of us were raised to follow a certain path: go to school, go to university, get a stable job, work hard, and eventually everything will fall into place.

But the world we’re working in now looks very different.

AI is reshaping industries, the job market is shifting, and more people are questioning whether climbing the traditional ladder is the only definition of success.

So are millennials really lost or are we just redefining what work and purpose look like?

In this mini episode, we unpack:
💼 Why so many people feel stuck or uncertain in their careers
🤖 How AI and technology are changing the job market
🧠 Why your job title shouldn’t define your identity
🎨 The importance of passions and creative outlets outside of work
📉 Whether university is still the “right” path for everyone
🔄 Why pivoting careers is more normal than we think
✨ And how to build a life that isn’t defined only by work
