Throwing The Baby Out With The Bath Water

I started noticing a trend with a lot of my clients. A lot of them come to be so completely burnt out in their current career path. In fact, in this photo is my outdoor office where I meet a lot of clients (when we can meet in person) and they sit in that other chair and sometimes cry for the first few sessions to release the burn out, release the fear of the unknown and let go of their old way of being and the grind.

They say I need to do something completely different. So we embark on that journey. They literally through the baby out with the bath water.

Then something interesting happens-they start to realize that they actually love parts of what they do, they just need to redesign how they are doing it in a way that fits in with the life they want to live. So we reassemble the pieces of their passion and life puzzle.

So the morale of this story is sometimes you need to throw the baby out with the bathwater to get clarity on what is important to you and to uncover and live your passion and purpose and don’t be surprised if you bring a few pieces back into the bath to incorporate into your new passion and life puzzle.
