You don’t have to hit rock bottom to be in a life transition. Some of the biggest pivots start quietly. Not with a breakdown, but with a low hum of restlessness. A quiet sense that something’s off, even if everything technically looks fine. You might still be doing well at work. Your relationships might be steady. From the outside, your life still makes sense.

You used to feel purpose in what you did. You cared. You showed up. Maybe you still are – technically doing the job, meeting the deadlines, showing up on time. But lately, something feels different. The energy isn't there. The meaning is missing. You feel distant from your work, like you're going through the motions.

You’re tired. You’re foggy. You’re not excited about your work, and even rest doesn’t seem to help anymore. You might think, Maybe I’m just burnt out. But what if the problem isn’t just exhaustion? What if you’re out of alignment with the life you’ve built?

We all hit a point where the thought pops up: Should I quit my job? But right underneath that question is often another one we don’t say out loud: Or do I just need a break? If you’re high-functioning, responsible, and used to pushing through, it can be hard to tell the difference. Are you genuinely done with this path, or just running on empty?
