Thinking of quitting your job—or feeling stuck in endless indecision about what comes next? Welcome to a radically honest, no-bullshit exploration of what it really means to leave (or stay at) your job, beyond the capitalist scripts and polite resignation letters.

[CONTENT WARNING: Suicide, Murder.]

Join fulfillment coach and recovering overachiever Hélène Caniac as she drags job-quitting out of the “should I/shouldn’t I?” binary and into the real messy middle: privilege, self-worth, internalized hustle, and the sacred relief of finally giving yourself permission to want what you actually want.

This episode isn’t a checklist for burnout fixes. It’s an unfiltered invitation to get intimate with your true motivations, interrogate the invisible rules you follow, and start diversifying your identity far beyond your job title or paycheck. Whether you’re plotting a grand escape, reeling from a layoff, or just lost in existential limbo—consider this your call to dig deeper (and laugh a little along the way).

• Connecting with your real values, setting boundaries, and building a genuine support web matter way more than any resume line.

• You are worthy, whether you’re employed, jobless, burnt out, or thriving. Period.

• Your life isn’t meant to be reduced to a job title or KPIs. Diversify your fulfillment—today.
