Are you feeling off in your career—even though everything looks fine on paper? You’re not alone.

In this episode, I’m joined by Mairead Ramín—also known as MARA—a confidence and mindset coach who helps high-achieving professionals navigate the inner friction that often surfaces in mid-career.

We explore what Mairead calls the “success hangover”—that unsettling feeling when your external achievements no longer match how you feel inside. We also dig into the signs that you may have quietly outgrown your current role or career path, even if you’re still performing well.

🔍 Topics we cover:

• The subtle signs you’re “secretly stuck”

• Why success can create a hidden identity trap

• What happens when high achievers hit a crossroads

• The emotional toll of ignoring your inner discomfort

• Why career change doesn’t mean starting from scratch

• How to move from proving and pushing into choosing and aligning

• Small steps you can take to reconnect with what really matters

Whether you’re navigating a transition, feeling misaligned in your work, or just wondering what’s next—this episode offers insight, reassurance, and a few powerful mindset shifts to get you moving again.
