🌟 Your Career Pivot Menu: Small, Medium, or Large?
Rachel teaches that career change isn’t a light switch. It’s a choice between:
✅ Small Shift: Staying in your job but adding soul-aligned activities outside of work to fulfill you.
✅ Medium Shift: Changing environments, companies, or industries while keeping your role similar.
✅ Large Shift: Completely reinventing your career when your physical or mental health is at risk.

🕯️ The 80% Rule to Avoid Burnout
Ask yourself:
What % excited am I about my job, life, and relationships?
Where can I increase that by even 1-5%?
Rachel suggests doing a “Joy Audit.” Identify what lights you up – from walking barefoot in the grass to three daily cartwheels (her personal fave) – and integrate more of it into your day to fuel energy instead of drain it.
🔄 Careers Are for a Reason, Season, or Lifetime
Stop seeing your job as forever. Instead, ask:
Reason: Why am I here right now (income, flexibility, benefits)?
Season: What life stage is this supporting?
Lifetime: What long-term purpose or impact do I desire?
This mindset shift reduces dread and gives you hope, clarity, and strategy for your next chapter.
💭 Break Free From Fear of Career Change
Worried what others will think if you change jobs or pivot industries? Rachel shares:
🛑 Most people aren’t thinking about you as much as you think.
✅ Your reputation grows stronger when you lead from authentic alignment.
When you’re lit up by your work, your energy attracts new opportunities effortlessly.
“Excitement fuels excitement. If you’re lit up, people will be drawn to you.”
– Rachel Spekman
