79: Glamour Or Grind? A Fork In The Road
Published on April 22, 2026
•From Corporate Into Calling: Career Change, Burnout, Meaningful Work, Find Your PurposeThis week I'm recording from inside my own fork in the road. Two paths with the same values at the core, but asking very different things of me. On one side, glamour — the route I've trodden before, where people sit up and pay attention. On the other, grind — the path of real, tangible work with no attachment that makes it interesting to the ego.
What I'm learning, in real time, is that these moments are never really about the decision on the surface. Whenever we hit a fork like this in career or business building, it always comes down to identity. It's about who you're willing to become, and how much of yourself you're willing to commit, for how long. Most of us underestimate how deep that commitment runs.
For anyone trying to find your purpose in the middle of a messy career change: this one's an honest check-in from the threshold, not a tidy lesson from the other side.
