Ep #121: When You Want to Leave But Choose to Stay

The Joyful Practice for Women Lawyers with Paula Price | When You Want to Leave but Choose to Stay

Do you feel like you’re currently in a position that, deep down, you know isn’t right for you? Maybe you know that there’s no future for you in your current career trajectory, and yet, for some reason, you decide to stay. How can you make the best of this kind of situation? Is it possible to thrive, regardless of whether you stay or make a move?

 

This is an experience that resonates with a number of lawyers I speak with. They find themselves in jobs they’re no longer passionate about but decide to stay, and it leaves them feeling stuck. There are a few reasons why a job you previously loved might no longer be a great fit, but my goal this week isn’t to persuade you to make a move. Instead, I’m helping you own your decisions and manage this experience in a proactive way.

 

Listen in this week to discover 4 strategies you can apply right now if you know you’re unhappy but fear the risk of taking the wrong next steps. You’ll hear the traps of staying in a job you don’t love without a deliberate plan, and my tips for building a practice that truly aligns with what you want.
