Ever feel chained to a job you don’t love because the perks are just too good to give up? This week, we tackle the myth of “golden handcuffs”—those alluring benefits and comforts that keep you stuck in roles you're only lukewarm about. I share candid stories from my own journey, revealing why it took me years to see past the so-called security of airline discounts, free vacations, and steady paychecks—and what finally got me moving toward a more fulfilling life.
We'll unpack the tricky mindset that makes those golden handcuffs feel so real, even when the math (and your happiness) says otherwise. You’ll hear the simple—but powerful—question I ask clients who can’t seem to pull the trigger on a career change, and learn why the biggest risks are often what you’re not doing.
If you’re longing for more but afraid to lose the safety net, this episode is your nudge to start asking what you’re giving up by staying put, and how you can take the first step toward work you love. Want support breaking free? Connect with me at kenwilliamscoaching.com.
