It could be that you are staying in a career you already know isn't leading toward the life you actually want.If you have been feeling restless, frustrated with yourself, or irritated with everyone around you, this episode is for you. We explore the "secret tension" that no one is talking about: the conflict between your current role and your future vision.In this episode, we cover:The 3 Reasons You Feel Frustrated: Why feeling stuck usually comes down to undefined career seasons, overloaded life capacity, or a misaligned direction.The 4 Career Seasons: How to identify if you are in the "Stay and Strengthen," "Adjust and Realign," "Explore What's Possible," or "Ready to Take a Strategic Leap" phase.Capacity Reality Check: How to ask yourself if you are truly maxed out or if you are actually hiding behind your busyness.The Vision Question: The one critical question to ask yourself: "If I keep giving maximum effort to this current life for the next 3-5 years, will it move me toward the life I want or further from it?".When your career season aligns with the life you are building toward, even a full season feels manageable and meaningful.Mentioned in this episode:Take the Career Change Quiz: https://sherimiterco.com/careerquizChecked all the boxes of success but still feel like something’s missing?

Fearless Career Change: How Faith, Courage, and Clarity Lead to Your Next Step S5E10

Feb 2nd, 2026 10:00 AM

Send us a textIf you feel God nudging you toward a new path but fear is louder than your faith, or if you are waiting for a guarantee before you take the first step, this episode is for you.Today, I am sharing a special message from my recent visioneering workshop for the Discovering Your Calling alumni. We explore three specific Bible stories that reveal a hard truth: often, the miracle only happens after you take the risky step.I discuss why we often hesitate to act because we do not want to look foolish or fail. We look at the stories of Joshua and the widow to see why obedience often defies logic, and why your "jar of oil" is already enough to start.You’ll learn:✓ The "Flood Stage" Faith: Why you must step into the water before the river stops flowing (Joshua 3). ✓ The "Jericho Strategy": How to move forward even when the plan seems illogical or embarrassing to others. ✓ The "Empty Jar" Lesson: Why you need to ask for help and use the resources you already have right now. ✓ The Art of "Shutting the Door": How to block out distractions to focus entirely on your assignment. ✓ Reframing Success: Why God meets obedient action rather than waiting for perfect faith.Mentioned in this episode:2026 Career Change Quiz Feeling successful but quietly restless?

Leading Through Change with CliftonStrengths® & Vision Crafting — A Conversation with John Hildebrand S5E08

Jan 12th, 2026 10:00 AM

Send us a textIf you’ve set big goals for the year but they already feel like a heavy obligation... or if you’re a leader trying to fix team problems but only finding more frustration... this episode is for you.Today, I sat down with organizational change strategist John Hildebrand to explore why traditional goal setting often fails without a "magnetic vision." We discuss the science behind why goals can become "negative emotional attractors" when they aren't connected to a larger purpose, and how to shift your brain into a state that sustains long-term growth.John shares his personal journey from a status-driven definition of success to one of deep self-discovery. We unpack the difference between "fixing" and "visioneering," the hidden power of Empathy in leadership, and the specific questions you need to ask to bypass your inner critic.You’ll learn:✓ The "Magnetic Vision" Secret: Why setting goals without an inspiring 10-year vision is a recipe for burnout and failure. ✓ Vision Crafting vs. Problem Solving: How to use the "Positive Opposite" approach to focus on what you want to see, rather than obsessing over what’s wrong. ✓ The "Lottery Question": A powerful exercise to silence your practical brain ($500 million tax-free!) and discover what truly lights you up. ✓ Empathy as a Hard Skill: Why this talent is often misunderstood and how it serves as a direct line to building trust in teams. ✓ Living the Questions: Wisdom from poet Rainer Maria Rilke on how to be patient with uncertainty and "live your way" into the answers.Mentioned in this episode:The Science of Change Book by Richard Boyatzis: https://www.amazon.com/s?k=science+of+change+boyatzis&adgrpid=12026 Career Change QuizFeeling successful but quietly restless?
