Horror movie franchises, Florida State University’s 2024 football season, and prioritization might seem like they have nothing in common, but the connection leads us into our discussion this week about how to feel okay if you find your priorities changing.

When we set long-term career goals for ourselves, we might find that our priorities have changed by the time we see those realized.

Do you owe it to the prior version of yourself who put in the work to achieve that goal to see it through? Do know how to evaluate if you’re truly making a decision about your priorities based on what you want or based on the influence of others? What does it mean about you if your career is no longer your main priority?

We dig into all these questions and more in this week’s episode to help you begin the process of reprioritizing in a way that feels good to you.

Are you lazy if you don’t hustle?

Are you going to burn out more quickly or easily if you do try to hustle?

Ask any seasoned professional what they think of their younger counterparts and you’ll almost certainly hear about how they don’t work as hard or put in as much effort as people used to.

Do a Google search for the word “hustle” and you’ll see item after item talking about how hustle culture is toxic.

So, what should we strive for in the workplace? Hustling and working toward the rewards that come with it or taking a more laid-back approach and going a more sustainable path?

In this episode, we’re diving into this nuanced topic and doing our best to figure out a way to hustle without harm.

Was your career path your choice or someone else’s?

If it wasn’t entirely your choice, is it too late to change things?

Even though this episode is being released in September, we recorded it while the Olympics were still going, and we think the athletes participating in the games are a great example of our topic for this episode. They personify exactly what can happen when you ignore the other voices and choose to follow your passions.

In terms of our careers, choosing to go along with others instead of choosing a path for ourselves can look like having a career trajectory we never planned on and might not even want.

In this episode, we cover how to evaluate what we actually want and how to course correct if we discover we’ve been letting others make our choices for us.
